The apartment is in a beautiful and located near the Cailhau Gate. The decor is simple and a bit stark but it's still very nice.
The apartment was nice to stay in except for:
* it's above a square full of late night bars and restaurants. There is noise late into the night, every night (even on a raining Sunday). The noise is so bad even with ear plugs it's hard to sleep.
* The second bedroom is a mezzanine. It gets very hot up there, but I think children would find it fun.
* the air-conditioning is a portable unit. this means a door needs to be open to let the hot air out, therefore increasing the outside noise entering the apartment.
* the wifi is very slow - you can't work from home with it. but mobile phone reception was good.
* the place is conveniently located by a supermarket which is good for getting in the basics.
