Malvern's place is THE place to stay in NOLA. Do NOT be concerned that it's not in the French Quarter because that's a bonus. The Quarter is so noisy & actually the area where Malvern's place is located is so pretty & still really close to the quarter.
There is everything you need on your doorstep, restaurants, pub on the corner & a Walgreen's opposite, what more could you need? The stop for the St Charles line is also just a few yards away.
Malvern & Kathy are amazing hosts,they may not always be there but they reply to any queries SO quickly. Also I left my passport behind & Malvern Fedex'd it immediately to me overnight to reach my next destination.!!
If you're like me & you search through many accommodations, look no further, just book Malvern's place, it is NOLA's jewel in the crown.
