This apartment is conveniently located just two blocks from the beautiful, tree-lined Esplanade Avenue. The location is unique and special due to its proximity to the French Quarter, Frenchmen Street (known for great music), and City Park. It's a great place to stay if you want to be close to the action without paying high hotel prices. Just an $8 Uber ride will take you to Frenchmen Street for a night of eating, singing and dancing!

On Sundays, you can enjoy a huge block party at Kermit Ruffin’s famous Mother In Law Lounge, which is just four blocks away. If the Saints win, the party will be even bigger!

There's also a funeral home around the corner, so you might witness a Jazz Funeral procession passing by the house, offering a unique cultural experience that many tourists miss. On Second Line Sundays during the season, things really heat up as the Social Aid And Pleasure Clubs of New Orleans host second lines to bring the community together. Look up "Second Line & New Orleans" to learn more.

During Mardi Gras, you'll see Mardi Gras Indians parading the streets on Claiborne Avenue. On Mardi Gras day, be sure to get up extra early to catch the Skulls and Bones Krewe as they make their way around the neighborhoods. If you're lucky, you might even spot some of the New Orleans Baby Dolls as they step out at daybreak.

It's worth noting that everyone in this area is extremely friendly and approachable. Ms. Gail down the street is always up for a chat! In New Orleans, we talk to our neighbors, so if you see her, please say good morning!

There are two Blue Bikes rental racks roughly two blocks away. They are pay-as-you-ride. You can download the Blue Bikes app to rent them. Lyft and Uber are always just a minute away.
