We've been to New Orleans many times and were looking for something in a neighborhood a bit further out from the Quarter this time. If you don't mind a bit of a drive to get to the touristy stuff, or you want to be somewhere more convenient to the universities (Tulane/Loyola) or Audubon Park, this is a decent part of town. The streets are in terrible condition, but that's par for the course for NOLA. The house is only a few minutes from the commercial strip on Freret, where you can find dinner, gelato, or groceries, and still an easy drive to areas like St. Charles and Magazine street. We were able to get over to a restaurant in Mid-City in just 10 minutes, even during rush hour. The apartment is a simple, older 2-bedroom, but clean and well furnished, and stayed a comfortable temperature despite being upstairs in the middle of July. We would stay here again.
