Melissa's place was great for what we wanted! (close to street car, affordable, away from Bourbon Street) We were gone all day, everyday, so it was nice to come back to a comfortable bed. The street car was a short walk away which was great. There is a cafe, a couple of bars and grocery store with hot food within walking distance if you need a couple things, a drink or coffee! We had a great time in New Orleans so I would definitely recommend Melissa's place!
