This charming B&B is located on the border of the French Quarter and the Garden District, right off the St. Charles street car line--just a short trolley ride into the French Quarter and an even shorter ride into the heart of the Garden District. There are plenty of restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance (including an excellent BBQ joint and one of Emeril's restaurants), if you're too hungry or lazy to brave the public transit system.
We stayed in a 'bordello' room, complete with lace curtains around the bed (and complimentary Mardi Gras beads on the pillows). It was a bit chilly at times (not unexpected in January), but the space heater eventually made things more comfortable, and the bed was plenty warm. The bathroom was huge, and while there was no tub, there was great water pressure in the shower (and plenty of hot water to shake off those winter chills).
Breakfast--bacon, eggs, and grits/banana pancakes, depending on the day--was excellent, and eating at the B&B saved us that much more money--and it was already significantly cheaper than the hotels we were considering. All in all, it was a very cost-effective and convenient way to see the Big Easy, and we had a great time.
