Cool spot, great decor just like pictures show. You are in the middle of everything which means you hear the nightlife and depending on the night can get loud. We stayed Friday-Sunday and Sunday was definitely the most mello night and mainly quiet with small crowds. Despite the activity, the benefits of this place can't be beat. Mornings are quiet. Early afternoons are great with many places to eat and listen to music just directly across the street. There is a small art market at night with different artists. A small grocery and deli for essentials and a large Grocery store a short walking distance. You are also walking distance from the French Quarter and easy access to all downtown spots and tour locations. If you want to be on the middle of everything New Orleans has to offer you won't go wrong with this place.
