We loved staying at Sylvia’s apartment! It was beautifully decorated and stocked with everything we needed. The balcony was perfect. We loved being able to sit and listen to the music, even when we were too tired to be down in the action. It was so close to all the best music venues and walkable to get anywhere in the french quarter. Our favorite places to eat nearby were Lorettas for beignets and Pralines, Ruby Slipper Cafe for brunch, and Port of Call for Hamburgers and drinks, all a 5 minute walk from the apartment.
We were stressed about having our car but Sylvia gave us advice for parking and it was much easier than expected. We were able to drive to Magazine street, city park, and the national WWII museum during our trip.
Sylvia was an amazing host and gave us a lot of recommendations on the best places to go. She recommended shopping and eating along Magazine Street which was easily my favorite part of the trip apart from the music venues.
