House Or Rental
If your family or friends are interested in staying as a group, AirBNB / VRBO are another fun option to consider. If you have any questions about neighborhoods, please reach out! Heads up that in 2022, the city passed a law prohibiting short-term rentals within the French Quarter; so we recommend looking in the Garden District or Uptown (Emily's former neighborhood) as they will have a classic New Orleans feel, while only a 10-15 min. Uber / Lyft / Streetcar ride from the wedding events and French Quarter.
