We loved staying in the apartment! It has so much personality and is loads better than staying at a hotel. In our down time I just sat and enjoyed the apartment! It reminded me of the old homes my family had in South Louisiana that I grew up around and that made it even more special. The streetcar is two blocks away and if you have to go farther you just call a cab. We walked to Magazine Street (you have to - the houses!), took the streetcar to the Quarter and the Superdome, and took cabs to Metairie and the Ninth Ward (Jack Dempseys - go, you won't regret it. It's local, "hole in the wall" fabulousness) No one should ever have to drive (or park) in New Orleans and in this location you don't. And Rachel & Jerry are super friendly and considerate. You will want to be their friend. I hope we get to come back soon, because if we do, this is where I want to stay!
