This is not close to French Quarter. Which makes it perfect location because you get to experience more of what makes NOLA fascinating: historic architecture and city districts most tourists never see. We really enjoyed staying. We like walking and this was perfect location for us - to Audubon Park/Tulane area one way, to grand homes/Garden District the other way, streetcar just on St. Charles or bus on Magazine down to French Quarter. (Is there any other big city in USA where public transport costs only $1.25?) Living room really homey and comfortable. And the bakery! Sitting on front porch with coffee and croissants from La Boulangerie - the real Big Easy.
