The apartment is located in a residential area, two blocks from St. Charles Avenue with a 24/7 streetcar connection to downtown and plenty of restaurants and bars. Magazine street with more restaurants is 7 blocks away. Two blocks away is also a small grocery store with a pretty good selection of beers.
The unit is perhaps a bit dark, is on ground floor and there's not much of a view, but the backyard is nice. The place is well equipped and has 2 separate bedrooms.
The owners are friendly (gave us a ride to the airport) as well as their neighbors.
Much better than a hotel double room for a conference week!
