Very nice unit in a great location. Only one block off St Charles. Great for catching the street car and experiencing the Mardi Gras Parades. Amazingly, this was not a noise issue. The parade goers dissipated quickly. There are several fun bars and restaurants within blocks of the unit. It's an easy walk to the WWII museum. The French Quarter is further, but still walkable. The perfect distance from the craziness of the Quarter. There is a lot of new housing construction directly across the street - literally for blocks. There wasn't a noise issue or parking issue, but it was dusty and very busy during the day. If you're out catching the sights, it wont be an issue.
