Algiers point is a lovely, safe neighbourhood, with great restaurants, walks and architecture. The ferry to the french quarter is unlike any ferry I have been on, as it is so so quick and takes you right into the french quarter!
The apartment is spacious, very clean, with great directions from the hosts of what to do. This is a great base to have a restful stay in New Orleans: all the benefits of the french quarter, with a lot less drama and noise!
Thanks so much Russell, when I come back I'll stay again!
