Location first: it's in a Bohemian enclave of Bywater, near Marigny, a far cry from the Bourbon Street goings-on. There's a park in front of the apartment where people hang out and socialize and, one night, there was a band that played at a reasonable hour. It's a quiet neighborhood and feels safe, the houses around are well maintained. Frenchman street is a short walk from here and so is Crescent Park, which is on the riverfront and a quiet place to walk and bike. It's a few minutes' stroll to the French Quarter so it's a perfect location. The host: Betsey was communicative and check-in was easy, we did meet her and she was really lovely. The kitchen was well-stocked, even had snacks and coffee. We had everything we needed on our first morning there, a thoughtful gesture. There was a folder of suggested neighborhood restaurants and bars which were spot on. There were maps available, also umbrellas and raincoats. The apartment was nicely decorated, had interesting books, very clean and spacious. The bed was comfortable and the wifi worked. The TV had limited channels but, no matter, all was well since the wifi was good. All appliances worked. I would recommend this place to anyone. Thanks much for your hospitality.
