We met Ken briefly (we were on our way out to catch a bus) and April welcomed us by text. We felt very welcome and appreciated the little touches like a bottle of wine and other amenities.

The apartment was convenient to most places of interest; we took cabs quite a bit. The neighborhood has many lovely older homes, so it was quite a treat to walk around to see them. We were especially close to City Park and spent one whole day (when the weather turned cold and windy) at the New Orleans Museum of Art at the entrance to the Park. We walked from the Park to Terranova Brother's grocery store, which was great-very friendly, informative staff. They recommended the empanadas at the Santa Fe restaurant across the street, and they were indeed very tasty and a bargain at two for $7.

The home was exactly as shown in the pictures. The bedroom has French doors that open on to a cute balcony overlooking the courtyard and pool. It's built around a beautiful old magnolia tree. It's clean and quiet.

I would recommend April and Ken's home; it's cute, clean and a real bargain as well.
