Penelope and Russell are excellent hosts who are responsive to questions and provide fantastic local recommendations. The neighborhood is one of my favorites in the New Orleans area, close to the French Quarter (just a ferry ride away) but not so close as to disturb the family friendly vibe that is Algiers Point. You can walk along the Mississippi River, try the various restaurants and bars (not to mention the superb coffeeshop), and all within easy walking distance of the apartment. A great stay with great hosts!
