Ivan's place was quite spacious and worked well for our needs. The house is just a short walk to the City Park, where we could look at the Christmas lights, and also visit the art museum. It is also close to a great BBQ spot and is an easy walk to major grocery stores. The streetcar stop is easy to catch and takes you downtown in about 25 minutes. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and a great place to relax after the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter.
