We are music fans who attend the French Quarter Festival. This is a good location for us because we bring our bicycles and its an easy 10 minute bike ride down to the French Quarter. For me this location would be a little too far to walk to the FQ. Other options would be the bus on Elysian Fields that goes right to the festival. We also used Uber at night with no problems. The place is very clean and has a great bed and nice shower. Mark's mom lives upstairs and is helpful when you need anything. As other reviewers have stated this place is the ground floor apartment. I would definitely stay here again.
