I had a great time in this apartment. Michael was very helpful and prompt in responding to any messages or queries. There were also very helpful post-its left around the apartment explaining things. The apartment was as described & lovely: clean, comfortable and nicely decorated. There was useful information left for reference concerning bus routes, local attractions & restaurants, as well lots of helpful items stocked in the cupboards & drawers (extra blankets, coffee filter paper, clingfilm, aftersun lotion). The surrounding area was fairly quiet and residential, with lots of cafes & places to eat within walking distance. One breakfast place (Surreys) was so good I went back several times! The apartment is conveniently located very close to Magazine St, with a 20 min bus ride to Audubon zoo (Route 10) and a 15 min walk to the WWII Museum. The French quarter is about a 40min walk away, so it may not suit you if this is what you want to explore most: however there are buses nearby you can catch (you can buy all day passes or 2/3 day passes which are cheaper). Late at night foot traffic is low and some streets aren't well lit. I found the apartment perfect for my stay and would come back and stay if I visted New Orleans again.
