The apartment was exactly as described and perfect for two friends sharing. It's well located being just a block from the St Charles streetcar line and on the edge of the Garden District with all its gracious old mansions, nearby shops and beautiful wide streets to wander around. Christian is my idea of the ideal host, he was reliable and responsive to requests and not at all intrusive. He helped us with local tourist info re car hire and gyms etc, provided a coffee plunger for us when he found out we are discerning coffee addicts - and he arranged for the wi-fi to be upgraded in response to our complaint it was slow.
Just one note, there's no elevator so beware if you have heavy suitcases or don't like steep stairs.
