Martin had great communication before the trip and provided a fantastic welcome with a quick tour of the place. He also provided tour brochures, area magazines, snacks, water, bathroom soaps and an umbrella, which was greatly appreciated. The apartment is huge -- seems much bigger than the photos show, so it was great to have so much space.
The apartment is in a perfect location -- walkable to everything in the French Quarter and the attractions near downtown/river (Mardi Gras World, WW2 Museum). Though the apartment is only 1 block from Bourbon Street, it feels like a pretty reserved stretch without unwanted craziness. The front bedroom tends to let some street noise in, so I could hear the garbage trucks bright and early. But I'm a light sleeper. The back bedroom is very quiet.
Martin was also super accommodating with check-in and check-out times.
