We had a wonderful time in New Orleans. Russell's place is lovely, very clean and perfect for all our needs: there were even bikes we used to discover Nola. The location is just across the river, but with the ferry you can reach the city within a couple of minutes. And in the evening you come home to your lovely quiet retreat ! The communication with Penelope and Russell was excellent. We also appreciated all the information on the city, where to go and eat etc. We would definitely recommend this place!!
