We were looking for a more "residential" experience of New Orleans, and we found it in Patricia & Ron's place. It took us a couple of days to realize that the 32 bus is literally half a block from their home. We'd been walking 10 minutes to Walgreen's to buy a Jazz pass to ride all the public transportation, and get on the Trolley across the street on South Carrolton.
The neighbors were super friendly, and the Rock and Bowl is a ton of fun, just a 7 minute walk away. Robert's Market is just 7 minutes away if you want to cook in, and there's a Rouses Market up the street about a mile. Costco is also just over a mile away.
The backyard space is peaceful and pleasant, as well.
If you're looking for a rocking good time in the French Quarter, this is not for you. If you want to have the best of both worlds, and have a down to earth New Orleans experience, I highly recommend you stay here.
