Literally a 5-10 min walk to Bourbon St. Bed and pillows are VERY comfortable as everyone has said, but a little soft if you sleep on your back. The streetcar that passes is very loud if you are in the living room, but it didn't bother us (they do provide a white noise machine that we didn't use). The water doesn't hold heat after a while, don't take longer than 10-15 min to shower :)
