Jamie's place worked well for us. It was close enough to the French Quarter to walk during the day, but far enough that we saved lots of money which paid for all the Uber rides at night. Tip: If you're partying in the Quarter when it's super crowded (like during Mardi Gras), don't expect to be picked up inside the quarter since the streets are either blocked by road blocks or revelers; walk 3 blocks up to Rampart St and you'll make it easier on yourself and the driver. Like many in New Orleans, Jamie's neighborhood is in transition, so you'll see the gamut of homes from dilapidated shells to fully restored gems. The neighbors we met were friendly.
