Dereks place is much nicer than the pictures indicate, it is spacious, decorated with a laid back charm and offers all the ammenities of home. The beds are comfortable the linens are fresh and new, they have all the basics (microwave, coffee maker, hairdryer etc) and yes, lots of towels! Most importantly, it is very well located. One end of the street intersects at st. Charles Ave where there are lots of restaurants etc. and the streetcar that you can take from Audubon Park (15minutes) to the French Quarter (10 minutes). If you use it there are day and week passes, much easier. The other end of the street intersects at Market St. where there are more shops and restaurants if you want to take a break from all the action in the Quarter. I want to close by saying the Derek and his family were very gracious and accomodating. He responded immediately to any questions and was helpful whenever needed. I would strongly recommend this listing, go and have a good time!
