This is the perfect place to stay if you're wanting to explore what the city has to offer (including the French Quarter). It is SO CLOSE to the bus and street car which made our wanderings much easier (and cheaper than using a car service), but it's also a quick walk down Frenchmen for music and about a 15 minute walk to the French Quarter.
Anita was an excellent hostess by communicating, meeting us early so we could get our trip started without hauling our luggage, and providing what we needed for our stay. There was some street noise at night, but a sound machine is provided, if needed. I was also a little skeptical about only having a window unit for air, but it kept us cool when we were in the room even though the temps were high.
