I rented this condo for Mardi Gras and the location was ideal. The parades on St. Charles were just around the corner. The condo had a parking spot in the building garage so very convenient. The location was walking distance to both downtown and to restaurants and shops. The condo was well decorated with great art work of local New Orleans locations. The place was spacious and comfortable. I would highly recommend staying at this condo. I was surprised at how quiet it was even though we were so close to the parade route.
