The apartment is lovely and is actually quite a bit larger than you might assume based on the photos in the ad. Neighbors were friendly, and the location is very convenient to Marigny / Frenchman Street, the Esplanade (east) side of the Quarter, and other less touristy, enjoyable spots in Central New Orleans.
The little coffee shop a block away is quite charming and offered a nice change of scenery for doing a little work, etc. Be sure to check out Buffa's on Esplanade and the Apple Barrel over on Frenchman.
Nyadja is a very gracious host and was even so good as to ship me a bag I foolishly left behind.
The only caveats I would share with potential guests are:
*The nearby history museum is, sadly, closed for renovation.
*Most of the Treme neighborhood south of I-10 is in great shape (the block where the apartment is located in super-cute), but in walking to and from the Quarter you will pass by the occasional abandoned / rough property.
*The apartment is near a community garden where there are roosters. This charming, in its way, but if you have never tried to sleep in around roosters, you might want to invest in some earplugs. They really will wake you right up.
All in all, a very pleasant stay and a great base of operations for seeing New Orleans.
