The Esplanade Ridge apartment offers the quintessential New Orleans experience; from the location to the large rooms with a quaint bathroom, you feel like a native staying in this very comfortable suite. I will comment on key points:
Host: We met Joe shortly after arriving as we were heading our for the evening. His communication was prompt and he was friendly. We had a quick weekend visit to the city and spent all of our time with our niece, so we didn't have an opportunity to really speak at any length with Joseph. I felt that he was available to answer any questions.
Location: Excellent! There are city bicycles very nearby that you can easily use with an app on your phone. The city is very flat and so easy to ride around. The street has a designated bike lane so we always felt secure on the road. Such a great way to see and feel the city.
Also, there are coffee shops and markets within walking distance and it is a charming area with beautiful homes.
Apartment: Lovely, Lovely, Lovely. It consists of an entrance way which houses a piano and a mini fridge and coffee maker, a large living room with sectional sofa and mounted TV, and the large bedroom with another smaller TV and ensuite bathroom. The furnishings are comfortable and in good condition. The queen bed was comfortable with a side table on both sides of the bed. There were plenty of towels and other small items to make our stay extremely comfortable.
I will recommend Joseph's place to anyone heading to NOLA. Great city and great place to stay!! Can't wait to go back!!
