We were in this place for a full week and really enjoyed our stay. It's a shotgun apartment in a double shotgun house, so it was lovely to experience New Orleans typical architecture. The apartment is very spacious and clean and has everything you need. Josh was an excellent host, gave us good tips about what do in the city, and even got us on the list of a French Quarter venue.
The neighborhood is up and coming and still recovering from Katrina, but we felt safe. During the day we walked to nearby St. Roch's market (great place to grab a bite), and there is a nice food co-op, a juice bar and a yoga place that are also walking distance.
The neighborhood is only a few minutes drive to the French Quarter, and it's easy to find street parking to leave the car and walk around. St. Claude Av is also nearby, and it has good places to listen to music and dance.
We would definitely come back!
