Michael was very helpful. When we first arrived, we saw that he had reserved a parking space for us.
He gave us tips on how to get around and what was nearby.
The walk to Magazine Street and St. Charles wasn't too bad. I would say that it was a perfect location from where the Mardi Gras parade was.
To avoid losing our parking spot and also driving intoxicated, we took a cab from Michael's place to the french quarter. The drive wasn't long and the cab wasn't too expensive either.
Overall, we had a good experience!
