We had a marvelous time at Malvern's apartment. The location is ideal as far as we were concerned, just a few steps to the Saint Charles Streetcar and a short walk to the Magazine Street bus. The neighborhood is very safe and within several blocks are great little offbeat restaurants, coffee shops and interesting shops. The apartment had everything we needed and was comfortable...and lots of interesting artwork! Malvern's law office is downstairs and his secretary Minnie is very friendly and helpful, as were all the people we encountered there, we learned some informal history of the neighborhood and New Orleans and it made us really feel at home. The front porch is a great relaxing spot the sit and everyone says hello as they walk by! You can walk into the central business district or Magazine Street in about 10 minutes, which we did several times during the day. Malvern also had the kitchen stocked with coffee, juice, bagels and all the fixings as well as some Abita beer but the best were the tiny clementines from his own garden. All in all, I would stay again in a heartbeat :)
