Zoie's place was wonderful for my trip to New Orleans. The house is beautiful, and it's in a lovely, mostly residential neighborhood--although there are plenty of coffee shops scattered all around where I got great breakfasts. It was only about a 20 minute walk to Frenchman Street, and about a 45 minute walk to downtown; I loved being that close to the center of activity, while at the same time having a quiet place to sleep away from all the hubbub.
