Michael's place was exactly as described. The apartment about 30 minutes walking from the French quarter but only about 2 blocks from the St Charles streetcar and you can be in FQ very quickly. Also, the nearby Garden district is nice and with lots of fun restaurants. The apartment itself is private, new and functional. I also like the way it's decorated - feels like a guest room in someone's house. Michael was welcoming and provided useful information for us to explore the city and neighborhood. Thanks!
