Wonderful location. Great apartment - very relaxed and chilled. If you are looking for brand new, modern and super slick then this isn't the place for you. But if you are looking for somewhere that has character and a lovely vibe, is mega chilled out and also in a unique area, then this could be the one!
My biggest tip for New Orleans is: walk and eat the city. Just keep walking and eating. It's all wonderful. Soak it in. And do a cemetery tour (we took the one from the place next door to Voodoo Lounge on N Rampart St... AMAZING). It was the only organised / touristy thing we did and it was wonderful!
