The apartment is very spacious and comfortable, and an easy ferry ride or drive to the French Quarter. (Maybe 30 minutes at most.) We appreciated the full kitchen, fridge, etc. and were able to eat and reheat meals.
Be warned that the apartment is on the second floor, up a narrow stairwell, and there is a narrow path to get to the side entrance.
Although the venue is listed as better without kids, we took the chance. The balcony is comfortable and safe, and everything else in the apartment was of no concern to us. We appreciated how it was listed, and that we could make the choice ourselves.
Our only disappointment was that the bathroom door was currently under repair (it's missing the doorknob and lock), but we were able to make due with a well-placed hand towel.
Thank you again!
