Check-in at the apartment was very smooth, and we were greeted with a bottle of wine and some treats on the table. The apartment is just a couple blocks away from public transportation, which we used frequently to get to the French Quarter, Treme, and various other places very easily (I recommend getting the RTA mobile app to easily pay for bus/trolley tickets).
Likewise, there are several good restaurants in walking distance. Less than a block away, there is a well-regarded restaurant called Vessel, and many others that are close by as well.
The apartment has a rustic feel to it, feeling more like you are visiting family than you are staying at a professionally managed hotel/resort. The neighborhood is mostly residential and surprisingly very quiet, and the house itself and the furnishing inside are a bit older. Our biggest complaint with the space is just the overall uncleanliness of the apartment.
Finally, Ian is a very friendly and helpful host. He has a very long guide to New Orleans, which was helpful. Likewise, I appreciated that he offered to hold on to our luggage a little while longer after our check-out, as our flight was a bit later in the evening.
