Penelope's place is a gorgeous shotgun style house full of character. It has everything you need for a short or long trip and with three double bedrooms plus a sofa bed it was perfect for our work group attending a conference in town. It is down a residential street that is quiet and safe although the front bedroom did get some street noise especially in the mornings. It is a short walk (< 10 mins) from the main French Quarter sites and 35-45 min walk to the conference centre depending on your walking speed. A great place to stay while in New Orleans!
