Getting Around
New Orleans is a small city, so getting around is not that difficult. If you bring a car there is plenty of street parking in our neighborhood and you can get around easily on the main thoroughfares of Claiborne Ave., St. Charles, Magazine St. and Tchoupitoulas, which all parallel the river, from downtown to uptown. For public transportation, St. Charles streetcar is about 8 blocks from our house. It costs $1.25 one way and you can have unlimited access to all public transportation for a $3.00 day pass. Freret Street and South Claiborne Ave buses are each a few blocks away but be aware that sadly, the buses don’t run often enough to make them efficient means of transport. Taxi and ride shares are good options for getting around if you don’t bring a car. If you are interested in bike riding, let us know and we can point you in the direction of a bicycle shop that rents bikes, including helmets and locks.

We have a friendly lab mix dog but she won't have access to your space during your stay.
