My partner and I stayed at Kevin’s during Mardi Gras and the place was amazing! Peaceful and safe neighborhood with friendly neighbors and adorable kitties :) if you plan to take the ferry over each day, prepare to walk. The place was about 15 minutes by foot from the ferry. However we felt extremely safe walking at all times of day and night, and the place was perfectly secluded with an easy check-in/check-out. Perfect for a relaxed stay and a great value during carnival season.
