Sylvia's place could not be in a better, more lively location. You have to know that if you're staying on Frenchmen, you are RIGHT in the middle of the party. We knew this and expected to have revelers downstairs in the streets and the clubs and totally enjoyed the energy of Frenchmen.
The apartment itself had everything we could have asked for and more. Sylvia met us upon check in and walked us through all the materials (maps, brochures, books) that were available. We also enjoyed the coffee and snacks she left for us.
The bathroom especially had everything and really nice amenities. the curved glass shower was great and there were plenty of fresh, fluffy towels, nice toiletries, and a medicine cabinet full of other things in case we forgot anything.
The decor is very eclectic and historical, with posters from jazz concerts dating back 40 years. It was our first visit to New Orleans and gave us a wonderful starting place from which to explore. We rented the Blue Bikes right across the street, took the Street Car and Bus from the French Quarter. We loved it!
