This apartment was perfect for my needs. I stayed for a month while relocating from the UK and Shelly's place was in a great location - very close to the streetcar for getting downtown and to the University area, and close to Magazine Street with loads of great shops and places to eat and drink. Magazine Street has a regular bus downtown also, and there are good grocery stores within walking distance. The apartment was really spacious for two and had everything we needed. It was very clean and comfortable, and because we stayed for a whole month, reasonably priced. I felt safe walking around the area and enjoyed it so much that I chose to rent a place nearby longterm. It's a fairly quiet area, great if you want to get away from the madness of the French Quarter, but still close enough that it's very easy to access everything. The property manager was very good at quick communication and making sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommended.
