I was in town for a conference, and found this to be a wonderful apartment a few blocks from the convention center and about a mile from the madness of the French Quarter. Despite being in a slightly quieter area, there are still plenty of things within a block or two (definitely recommend the Auction House Market just around the corner for a place to do some work during the day, some great lunch options, or a nice cocktail). Highly recommended (although depending on how much you want to walk, realize that the convention center is massive — this apartment is only 0.5 miles from the north entrance but over 1 mile to the south side, where my conference happened to be).
