I highly recommend a stay in this spacious NOLA apartment in a wonderful neighborhood.
APARTMENT: The apartment is huge with 2 large bedrooms plus a large living room that will easily convert to a 3rd bedroom. It has a fold out couch and is set off in a private way. The bathroom is also very large and the shower has INCREDIBLE water pressure. Both the bathroom and the kitchen were well stocked by the host - this is not common in my AirBnB experience, and certainly makes life easier. Shampoo, soap, coffee and creamer, English Muffins, apples, oranges - so great when you wake up on that first morning after travel to have these basic supplies.
LOCATION: The location on Old Algiers Point was a definite plus for me. The neighborhood is wonderful with a groovy dive bar, lovely coffee/breakfast place and playground all within 2-3 blocks of the house. Also, the running track along the levee is wonderful perk. I found people out there biking, running, and walking at all hours. The neighborhood felt very safe to me, lots of people on their porches, saying hello, walking their dogs. This is a densely settled area so there are always people around. Also, having the host living downstairs is a plus as she made herself available at all times.
This is a quiet neighborhood = not the French Quarter. But safe at night to walk around. Lovely houses and character a real treat.
FERRY - Ferry is every half hour, primarily during the day, but until 11:45 on Friday and Saturday. Uber from French Quarter to apartment only about $12, so reasonable, and even with an occasional Uber the price of this apartment still much less than location in downtown.
I was at conference at Hilton Riverside and the ferry landed essentially at the door of the hotel so that was great. Walk from home to ferry short and sweet (10 min).
