This rental is a great value! You have the whole well-stocked unit to yourself. A hotel room would have cost us twice as much as this entire unit. It’s a cute historic home with comfy beds and fluffy towels in a quiet older neighborhood less than two miles from the French Quarter. It's close to great restaurants, City Park, and downtown. The roads are not well maintained (lots of potholes), but that appears to be the case all over the city. Parking was not as big an issue as we thought it would be when getting around, so we didn’t even use the buses or street cars…we just drove our own car and parked on the street most of the time. Downtown we paid for parking. Frances, our host, lives next door, so you don’t have to worry about noisy vacationers! She was quick to respond to questions. She has helpful booklets and brochures about the area in the kitchen cabinet. I would highly recommend this place!
