I was visiting for a work trip, and found Ian’s place to be a very comfortable place to rest. If you’re staying for an extended time, it’s very nice that there’s a full fridge, it’s within walking distance from a grocery store, an easy drive to Costco, and there’s a full washer / dryer. There are several potential work spaces (mini desk and kitchen table), and the Internet is secure and was reliable. As Ian’s description shows, a main stop for the Canal Street route for the streetcar is an easy block away, and a major hub for the city bike share is about half a mile away (also an easy walk, especially in daytime). The bike hub happens to be the northern end of the Lafitte Greenway (pedestrian/ bicycle path), which brings you to broad street and is a beautiful/ safe trail in the direction of the French Quarter. I recommend both options (streetcar and blue bikes) for traveling and site-seeing.
While the apartment is close to Canal Street, it was still a pretty lengthy commute to the convention center (where I had meetings every day of my trip). The commute took time away from the optional earlier meetings or adventuring time. Otherwise I absolutely loved the experience and would be thrilled to stay there again. Thanks Ian for a truly terrific experience!
