I would highly recommend staying at the Okra Inn for your stay in New Orleans.
First of all you have the charm of an older building that you are not going to get at a hotel. You feel like you are experiencing the city more, if that makes sense. Despite being an older building the space is still quite comfortable and functional. The beds and furniture were comfortable and we had everything we needed available to us.
The location was absolutely perfect. New Orleans was not an easy city to drive in. At the Okra Inn, we didn't need to drive at all to get around the city. You're a very short walk to a street car stop that can take you to the French Quarter or city park. Right next to that is a Walgreen if you forgot an essential. You are easy walking distance to a couple of great restaurants. Do not miss the opportunity to eat at Katie's is a couple of blocks away. The food is amazing.
Finally, the hosts were great. The couple of times I need to reach out for a recommendation or to ask a question they got responded quickly.
The next time we visit New Orleans we will definitely try to book the Okra Inn first.
