Emily's place is wonderful. I spent nearly 6 weeks there and enjoyed it all. She and her family are responsive, friendly, and very helpful.
The apartment has plenty of sunlight/daylight from the windows, comfortable space for 1-2 people, lovely multi-functional outdoor areas (patio, lawn, screened-in deck), and full kitchen with laundry. The area is extremely quiet save for an occasional barge horn in the distance.
Blocks away from a levee walking trail along the river, however, there is little else to do within walking distance. 5 minutes to the Bywater and 10-15 to the French Quarter.
