First, I recognize that most people do not plan to cook and hang out in an apartment when they come to New Orleans, so some of what made this particularly wonderful for us might not apply....but still. I used to live, literally, right around the corner on Short st so I already knew I loved the neighborhood. It is quiet, residential and near all sorts of really great bars, restaurants etc. (My favorite jewelry shop is Symmetry and in walking distance and my husband, who is vegan, can have a wonderful meal, as can I at Breads on Oak). We were in NOLA to visit our grandchildren and we were able to buy all sorts of good food and cook all sorts of good food because of how well stocked/equipped the kitchen was. We have stayed in AirBnBs all over the US and Europe and one of the things that makes that attractive is to be able to "live" in a neighborhood. It's amazing how a good spice rack and well equipped kitchen facilitates that experience. So the apartment is incredibly comfortable. Joseph was immediately responsive when I raised an issue; the apartment is in the best part of New Orleans (uptown) and ONE BLOCK from the street car....I really can't imagine what more anyone could want. Location, quiet, comfort, convenience....and a great great value.
