The place was wonderful, super clean, safe area (house is gated), easy to get to and only one block from a Washington Street bus line or six blocks from St. Charles Street car which take you right into the French Quarter. We had a car and the on street parking was readily available around the house, but we used the bus/street car most of the time. We enjoyed the area and if you visit be sure to go to Commander’s Palace for lunch (only a couple blocks away) it’s pricey (but worth it) and the 25 cent martinis that you enjoy with your entree make up the price difference. Yes, third floor but easy to maneuver, ~50 stairs with a variety of landings to rest if you need to. One of our travelers was 72 and she did them with only a small rest 1/2 way up.
