French Quarter Public Parking

We debated for 2 days whether we should try this spot. We wanted to be in and out of NOLA quickly and we did not want to pay much. Arrived at the parking lot in the early afternoon and scoped out the area. A lot of people were walking through it which made us uncomfortable but there is a police station and a visitor center nearby so we secured our belongings and walked into the French Quarter for the evening. Returned and all was well so we decided to stay over. There was of course city noise, drunk noise and we may not have slept great but we survived, no worse for wear. Spent a few more hours in the French Quarter and then moved on. There were 2 other vehicles, camper vans and multiple cars that appeared to stay the night also. Make sure you pay the correct amount for the duration you plan on staying. We watched a car get towed out of the visitors center, no parking after 5:00 pm and another car in our parking lot had "the boot" put on it's wheels. I feel this was worth the adventure of staying in a parking lot in the French Quarter!
