Easily walkable neighborhood with ample shopping and coffee shops, cafes and restaurants. About 25 minute walk or 15 minute bus ride (every 15-20 min by day, every hour late night until midnight) to the French Quarter. Honestly, though, the French Quarter starts to lose its appeal after you explore the Garden District.
The apartment is very functional and has full-sized washer and dryer. Full kitchen is plenty for travel cooking needs. Vic, who served as host, was very responsive and provided everything I need. Will happily stay again.
