The location is in a quiet, residential neighborhood just across the river from all the action. The Ferry is easy to catch, and the apartment is close to some cute local coffee shops.
Aaron is a responsible host, and responded quickly to any message I sent. He just took over the listing, and is being deliberate about seeing what he can do to make a good apartment even better.
The building itself is old, which makes the apartment feel a bit run-down and dusty, but it's been well kept. You'll want to bring slippers or plan to wear shoes inside, because the floors are a bit rough. Otherwise, you have a full kitchen, spacious living room complete with futon, chair, and tv, and a bedroom area with a desk that overlooks the street, if you need to get some work done. The apartment has some amenities, including an iron and ironing board, little snacks and water bottles for guests in the kitchen, and travel toiletries in the bathroom. Free and plentiful street parking make it easy to leave your car behind while you explore NOLA.
