Mike’s place Mid-City is the perfect spot to stay. It’s far enough away from the Quarter that you don’t feel overwhelmed, but close enough that it’s easy to get to the action. We stayed for a wedding week and it was centrally located to everywhere we had to be for the wedding, and was also walking distance to local faves like French Truck Coffee, Lafitte’s Walking Path, Bayou Beer Garden, Wrong Iron, A. Brocato, etc. Would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting NOLA, especially if you’re going to be there an extended period of time.
