Where to start! For music and food lovers, Sylvia's place is perfect.

Sylvia is wonderful. We arrived early on Friday morning and were warmly welcomed by our host. On arrival we were given maps, music guides and books (on music and history) on New Orleans. The bed and couch are extremely comfortable and the large verandah is the perfect location for a glass of champagne or wine while you watch the sun go down and Frenchman St come alive.

The apartment is situated on top of Snug Harbor - New Orleans' premier jazz club, across the road are the art market and The Spotted Cat. A few doors down you have D.B.A and Blue Nile. In summary, you will never get bored on Frenchman St. We spent the rest of the weekend enjoying some of the fantastic eats New Orleans has to offer, such as NOLA, and cycled (there's a bike hire place next door) through Tremé and the Garden District.

We will definitely be recommending our friends to come here.

Thanks for such a wonderful experience, Sylvia.
