Getting around

Navigating this city from here is very easy and convenient with or without a car. There are a ton of things to do and see within easy walking distance of the house including Magazine Street, The Garden District, and The historic Lafayette Cemetery No 1. The Magazine street bus line which goes from the French Quarter all the way up past Audubon Park and the Zoo is just a block away. About 5 blocks away is the historic and iconic St Charles Street Car line. If you prefer, Uber is usually less than a $10 ride to the French Quarter, and cabs can be gotten fairly easily on Magazine street as well. There is usually plenty of street parking near the house if you prefer to drive.

Other things to note

There is plenty of street parking usually, except for a few special events that are held from time to time in the area. I've never had to park more than a block away and can almost always find a spot right on my street. This is a popular residential as well as shopping and going out area that is one of the safest in the city, but like all big metropolitan areas, use some common sense. Keep your vehicle locked and valuables out of site, lock the door when you leave, etc.
