BY PLANE:

If you are arriving by plane, we recommend taking a taxicab from the airport. You can catch a cab right outside of baggage claim, the cost will be about $40, and this is generally the fastest and easiest route.

We do not recommend shuttles, as they cost the same as a cab for 2 people, and because of their size they usually are not allowed to drive into the historic districts – such as ours – to drop you off.

We do not recommend the bus, as it can be a long and confusing journey, with one to three bus changes.

STREETCAR: The nearby Rampart Streetcar will take you along the French Quarter and Louis Armstrong Park, and into the Central Business District. You can also connect for free to other Streetcar lines, including those that go to the Garden District, Audubon Park & the Zoo, the New Orleans Museum of Art, and City Park.

CABS: Our favorite cab company is United Cabs (504-522-9771). Uber is also an easy option. We are a 2-minute cab ride to the French Quarter, and you can get to nearly any point in New Orleans within 15 minutes, barring unforeseen traffic.

BUS: There is a bus stop 2 blocks away, and the bus - with transfers - can take you just about anywhere in the city.

CAR: A car can be useful if you would like to explore plantation country and the areas outside of New Orleans, but it is not necessary. Parking with us is very easy (see below) but spots can be expensive and hard to find in the French Quarter. Walking is a great option, so is taking a cab, the bus, or the streetcar.

BICYCLE: With over 100 miles of bicycle lanes and nary a hill in sight, New Orleans is a bike-friendly town. There is a Blue Bike station just 2 blocks from us (www.bluebikesnola.com) where you can rent a bicycle in just minutes, then drop it off most anywhere in the city when you’re finished.
