The apartment is as lovely as it looks in the photos. Quiet, well-decorated, spacious and with superior finishing and furnishings. The neighborhood is fine, but as is common in New Orleans, a little up and down. Still, very close to the French Quarter - a 3 minute drive or 30 minute walk.

The apartment would benefit from a phone. Not being able to make local calls was frustrating. An instruction manual for basic things such as garbage pick-up times and how to use the entertainment system would help a lot. The entertainment system has one of those single remotes which supposedly operates everything. Which is great - if you can figure it out. A few more basic household items such as laundry detergent, spices, butter, etc. would be greatly appreciated. These are the type of things that are really nice to have on hand because it's so wasteful to buy them for just a week-long stay.

Still a lovely, lovely place and a great spot from which to see New Orleans. We'd return in a minute.
