We had high hopes, but this place exceeded them! It's the top-floor unit in a lovely old mansion, and the unit is cozy but also spacious. Going out to see the big tourist spots is easy (the St. Charles trolley is literally just outside the door.) But you can have a wonderfully New Orleans experience just within a couple of blocks: Lafayette Cemetery #1 is only about five minutes away, and we had some of the best drinks we've ever had in New Orleans (which is really saying something) at the Bayou Bar up the block. It's also a great place to stay if you don't want to eat out for every meal (whether for $ reasons or because your arteries can't take it.) There's a wonderful grocery store about 10 minutes' walk away -- expensive as groceries go, but a whole lot cheaper than eating out! All in all, it was everything we could possibly want. We will definitely be coming back!
