Kevin was there to greet us when we arrived, he lives next door. He gave us a nice little tour and left us with bottled water, oranges and a six pack of beer! The apartment looks exactly how it does in the pictures and was in a fantastic location, easy to get to things and plenty of shops and restaurants close by. We are SF people so we walk everywhere and I felt everything was walking distance, even the french quarter, a good 20 minute walk possibly less. It was nice and quiet in the evenings and Kevin even helped us out with printing our boarding passes, lent us an umbrella (rained the whole weekend) and hand wrote a list of "off the beaten" path suggestions which we really appreciated. We were there for jazzfest and it was a short cab ride there that ending up costing $15 I think. It was a perfect place as a home base to come back to after the festival and walking around. It doesn't have a stove or a TV so it's not an ideal place if you want to cook or spend lots of time just hanging out. I would come back and stay at Kevin's the next time I'm in New Orleans.
