We stayed here Mardi Gras week and one of the parades went right past the front door! It's in a great location and walkable to many things. We ate at the St. Roch Market a couple times, saw the Cavs beat the Celtics at Markey's (great local bar), walked to Crescent Park along the Mississippi River and listened to music at Bachanal. We didn't rent a car so we used taxi service to French Quarter (you could walk) and Garden District. Lots of quaint houses and friendly people in neighborhood. If you're a cat lover (which we are) you will enjoy Blue, if you're allergic maybe not. Anyway, we had a great time in this roomy, brightly lit and nicely appointed older home and David gives many suggestions for things to do!
