The apartment is upstairs in the front of a typical NOLA home. The unit we stayed in was clean and tastefully decorated. Our favorite part was morning coffee sitting on the porch. Our only negative is that Esplanade is a very busy street and traffic can be heard till late into the evening, although this has nothing to do with our satisfaction with the rental itself. The house is close to the French Quarter and many other local destinations all within walking distance. April and Ken are wonderful hosts that are readily available to help when needed. We had a great time during our stay and special thanks to April and Ken for their hospitality.
