My wife and I enjoyed our stay in this apartment. The hosts arranged for a driver to pick us up at the airport and take us straight to the building. The accommodations were well-appointed and we appreciated all the special touches, like toiletries and kitchen supplies. The only time we heard other building occupants was when people were going to or fro from work in the mornings and late afternoon. The apartment is located in a very safe neighborhood that is within easy walking distance of the French quarter. That being said, there are so many things to do in the same neighborhood that we hardly spent any time in the French Quarter, save for breakfast at the Oceana Grill. For transportation we purchased daily bus passes for $3/day - all the major bus lines are down the street on Canal Street. We took the bus and cable cars to the Garden District to see the historic homes on St Charles Ave and visited the WWII Museum. We also took the riverfront cable car to Frenchman St on the east side of the French Quarter to see some bands. We loved our first visit to New Orleans and are grateful to our hosts for providing their apartment for our stay.
