Zalia's place was perfect for what we needed. You can walk to everywhere you need to go in New Orleans, and you're also staying on top of a very lively bar which had great music! The place was very clean and VERY spacious, it had a decent kitchen area, and the balcony was fun for watching the weird and wonderful people coming for Mardi Gras. Zalia was also kind enough to leave us some drink tokens that we could use in the bar which was a much appreciated welcome gift! I highly recommend staying here, it's a very decent price considering the size and location.
