Kevin is a very responsive and helpful host. The apartment is really nice, with great air conditioning and heat, and it's in a nice and safe location. As previous reviews have mentioned, the coffee shop directly below does play music loudly starting at about 8am. It didn't bother us but you may have trouble if you want to sleep in. It's about 2 miles to Frenchmen and the French Quarter if you plan on spending a lot of time that way and want to be within walking distance. It's a pretty walk down Esplanade though so we enjoyed. And personally, I preferred being so close to Bayou St John, City Park, Mid City, where there are many great restaurants and cafes and pretty neighborhoods. I would absolutely choose to stay here again on my next stay!
