I stayed for Mardi Gras 2017 and had the time of my life. The place had everything I needed and it's in a great location. Two blocks from the St. Charles Street car which takes you toward the French Quarter and two blocks from Oak street which had everything from coffee shops, book stores, and good restaurants.
The French Quarter was great, but if it's not your kind of scene then I suggest visiting the the shops/bars/restaurants along Magazine street and St. Charles.
I would definitely come back to stay again.
