This apartment is a very nicely renovated, ground level unit in an old, large Victorian Garden District building. It is only 1 - 1/2 short blocks to the St Charles streetcar line. We felt safe walking to & from the streetcar day & night. The immediate neighborhood is a mix of older buildings (some fixed up & some not) & more modern apartment buildings - but you are only a short walk from some of the most lovely Garden District historic homes. It was very quiet at night & the unit is well back from the street. The rooms are large, the bed was comfortable, the shower had plenty of hot water & there was plenty of sitting. We did not cook in the large, modern kitchen, but there seemed to be plenty of equipment. For eating, there are only 2 bar stools at the kitchen counter. We liked the Gracious cafe on St Charles for breakfasts. Samantha's place is a great choice for a New Orleans vacation.
