We enjoyed our stay at John's. The apartment is spacious, clean, accurately depicted and on a quiet street. It is conveniently located to the French quarter, the Garden District, the zoo, and other attractions. John, as it turns out, is a kayak guide for hire! If you are interested in seeing the surrounding wilderness, give him a heads up (it is probably best to schedule your stay during the weekend as opposed to the work-week). He gave us a great tip to visit a portion of the Jean Lafitte preserve where we got to see some New Orleans wildlife up close on their boardwalks. He was eager to help us find anything we wanted and has a good knowledge of the local streets and neighborhoods. Thank you John!
