Samantha's place is better than advertised. You could easily spend a week trying out all of the restaurants in eyesight of the many windows this space has to offer.
This apartment is as comfortable as they get, with central A/C (not common in New Orleans). Everything you need is provided for a long stay (including a seemingly endless supply of towels, which is nice).
The Freret area is a bustling spot removed from the brouhaha of Bourbon street, but close enough for a cheap Lyft.
I am fairly low maintenance and Samantha left me to do my own thing, but she was very accommodating if anything came up.
She could easily charge more and I hope she does, except when I stay there again. :-)
Stay here!
