Steve and Melissa were very nice and helpful hosts and gave nice touches like giving us homemade granola. Lovely. The apartment itself was more spacious than we thought and thoughtfully decorated and laid out. The laundry, cooking and wifi facilities were good. We didn't use the outside area and that wasn't as big as we thought. It's a good walk to the French Quarter but if you like walking like we do, then that is fine. Steve gave us the good idea of getting a pedi cab back. (A bike cab). There are lots of restaurants in New Orleans but we found a take away down the road and to the left (a big blue building) which was excellent with lots of choice, Cajun, creole and Chinese. The nearest restaurant we found was called the "Port of Call" recommended by a friendly neighbour. It was busy every time we tried which is a good sign and their burgers are supposed to be very good. Thank you Steve and Melissa for our New Orleans experience.
