Neighborhoods

Consejos para la ciudad
Antes de que te vayas
Dinner reservations can be hard to come by
If you're looking to eat at some of the highest demand restaurants in NOLA, be sure to book your reservations a few weeks in advance! No worries if this is a last-minute trip -- there are still lots of great options that refuse to take reservations.
Facilidad para moverse por la casa
Uber is your best friend
This city is relatively easy to get around, but public transportation isn't particularly good. We strongly recommend Uber -- not only is it fast and affordable in NOLA, you won't have to worry about parking and can take full advantage of our open container laws!
