This charming place is located just blocks from Frenchmen St and just blocks from the French Quarter. We parked our car and didn’t drive for five days. Jeremy’s suggestions were terrific. We also walked a little bit to get to some local places like Mimi’s for tapas and to the Cake Cafe. We went to Horns for breakfast three times. There are locked gates into the courtyard that add to the security of the place. We never felt uncomfortable or unsafe. We focused on food, music, and art. WWOZ radio station online had a great listing of local music. Also picked up Gambit and Offbeat weekly publications for music listings. The Warehouse district and Julia St has terrific high end art galleries, as well as amazing restaurants (Pêche). We brought our own coffee and creamer as we like it fresh. There was a coffee pot and all the kitchen amenities we needed. You can cook there if you like but hey, it’s New Orleans and you can get sensational food anytime! If you like to feel like a local and go where locals go, then you’ll love this location. We will definitely be back!
