The location is really nice--the day we got in to New Orleans, there was a lot of activity along the bayou, which was nice to see. It is close to the streetcar line, which is a bonus, but does move very slowly. Close to City Park, where the Morning Call is located (and has delicious beignets). The ceilings are a little low, so probably not ideal for taller guests. We didn't have much of an issue, just a heads up. It is in a fairly quiet area, even though there is a school nearby--we did not have any issues with noise. Lydia was very nice and offered a lot of local tips!
