The house was very clean and comfortable place to stay. Jessica is very responsive and available which made every aspect of the logistics easy--we arrived late at night and it was easy to get in and all the lights were on for us. Jessica also had a great collection of poetry books which were fun to sit and read on her porch.
The location of the house was perfect for us--away from the chaos of French quarter, but walking distance to many fabulous restaurants and boutiques. This is not an area filled with tourists--it is a hip neighborhood filled with locals. The house is just next to the Second line movie studios and the hip shopping district on Magazine St. We walked to the garden district and easily hopped on the trolley on St. Charles to get to the French quarter. Jessica left an amazing binder in the house with detailed information on anywhere you'd want to go.
We slept in the living room pull out couch and let our kids sleep in the bedroom. That allowed us to stay up later. If you are going to be sleeping in the living room, I'd recommend an eye mask. The shutters do not block out light.
The bedroom is very quiet and has dark curtains.
I highly recommend this apartment to anyone going to New Orleans.
