We came for Frenchmen street and the quarter. A mom with a 14 year old boy. We wanted lots of exposure to the music and food. My initial thought was to split our time b/w the quarter and the garden district / uptown, which I'm more familiar with and with a kid in tow I thought the nightlife might be a bit much after a day or two.
That said - getting around was so easy; we were in foot and we spent all but two days in Jeremy's neighborhood. When the nightlife started to wear on us, it was easy to pop in and out for a break. It's quiet, people are friendly and we could spend the day in the quarter come back for an afternoon siesta and then head out to Frenchmen or back to the quarter for the night without paying for transportation.
Jeremy is very responsive and helpful- we were cool with the 3:00 check in despite our red-eye. However the humidity and heat and exhaustion quickly caught up with us around noon, and since the place was clear - Jeremy let us check-in early, which we were really grateful for.
