Heaven. Derek's place is charming and comfortable First of all it is very nicely decorated with quality furniture, rugs, top-rate appliances (the Viking stove is worth more than my car), and nice art work, especially Derek's very own prints. There is a lovely covered patio, a large master bedroom, a huge kitchen, televisions in every room (but shame on you if you watch instead of taking advantage of NOLA). The location is great. Near the art museum, City Park, St. John's Bayou. Easy to catch the Canal Street streetcar or the Esplanade bus to downtown. You aren't in the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter and Frenchman's Street, but they are just two miles away and easy to get to. Wonderful restaurants just a couple of blocks away (Cafe Degas, Lola, 1000 Figs, and that's all we had time to try) THANK YOU DEREK AND ARLENE FOR SHARING!!!!
