I loved staying in the Algiers Point neighborhood. It was quiet, charming, and historic. The Tiki apartment is really nice. The bed was comfy memory foam (we slept well). Would definitely stay again. Mia and Charlie are excellent hosts and were always a text away.
We overloaded the circuits the first night by turning on the heater, lamp, and electric kettle at the same time. Charlie walked me through flipping the circuit breaker, since he wasn't home at the time and we were back in business.
Nice touches like the tea kettle, microwave, mini fridge, and coffee/tea service.
*The walk to the ferry is a leisurely 15 minute stroll from the house. The ferry takes goes every 30 minutes during the day and costs $2. It's a quick 5-10 minute ride. It drops you off right by Harrah's casino and is a great access point to the city (Canal street, Bourbon street, and the French Quarter). We had thunderstorms for a few days and didn't want to walk or take the ferry in the rain. It was really hard to get an Uber from the neighborhood and they cost about $12-$15 per trip to get downtown. I had to wait about 30 minutes to find an Uber that would pick me up. Lyft was more responsive though, so would recommend using Lyft to get a ride and allowing extra time for a driver to get to you. In nice weather, the ferry is a great option though and we enjoyed our trips across the Mississippi with the wind blowing in our hair.
