The home is really close to magazine street and the great shops and restraunts. Also a very easy walk to the zoo. It also is about a 15 minute walk to St Charles street car line and the neighborhood you walk through is very pretty. The road the house is on is a little busy with cars and we did not spend much time on that street. But it is only a 15 car ride to the french quarter. Great location to a lot of things. Only down fall you can hear the neighbors very easily and the location to the train tracks makes it very noisy, heard a lot of noise from trains as early as 5am everyday.
