You could not ask for better hosts than Maria and her husband Tom. Any questions we had were answered very quickly and they went out of their way to ensure that the four of us were enjoying ourselves. We were there in January for what was described as a once-in-a-decade winter storm, but our hosts made sure we were comfortable. The apartment is spacious with beautiful high ceilings. The location is right on Canal Street with a trolley stop across the street which makes access to the the city center and wonderful neighborhoods a breeze. There are some really good restaurants within walking distance as are a Walgreen's and other stores. Maria offered many great suggestions for places to eat and visit which made our month stay in this crazy wonderful city just perfect.
