We had a perfect stay in new orleans. The appartment is only a 10-minute walk to the ferry that brings you right downtown (no worries about parking your car). The ferry is 2 dollar per ride. We enjoyed every walk through the area along cute and nicely decorated houses and super-friendly people. Rick is a very welcoming and sociable person - with a very good taste for decorations and interior design. The place is spacious (only one closet but lots of space to spread your clothes ;) ) and the kitchen has everything needed. Rick was very flexible concerning the arriving and welcomed us with a wine and nice breakfast-goodies - making our trip perfect from the start till the end.
