We felt like locals staying at Elliot's place in Mid City. Great location, convenient to get into the city - we used the street car which was just down the street from our place. Get the 24 hour pass and hop on hop off when/where ever!! Elliot allowed us to drop our things as an early check-in since our flight arrived so early. He suggested we lunch until the apartment was ready at Vessel, which we did and thoroughly enjoyed it! We spent most of our time out, however, met up with some friends who stayed in the other bedroom with us one night and we ordered in (from Katie's - OMG - good!!) and played cards and relaxed in the open kitchen area. There is a steep staircase up to the flat, which was fine for us. The decor was absolutely funky and so fun! A real NOLA vibe. The only thing we think could improve was the shower - the curtain needs more hooks (it encircles a cool claw foot bathtub) and the shower head barely spits out any water to take a good shower. Otherwise we thought this place was great and would stay again!!
