We had a pleasant stay at Rochelle' s place. The neighborhood is very quiet and theirs a coffee shop right across the street. We had no problem parking on the street if you plan to rent a car or bring your own. We only used our vehicle once when we drove to the Swamp Tour. Other than that Uber/Lyft was our main transportation. The street car was only three blocks away from Rochelle's place which was very convenient. We experienced that the first day we arrived - pretty neat!
By car you are about 20 minutes to Bourbon St. and Frenchman. The streetcar took a little longer only because it has to do a few stops, but you can't be the price of $1.25!
Must have drinks: Grenades and Hurricanes
