My husband and I inadvertently booked our trip to New Orleans during Mardi Gras, so we really appreciated having a place to stay that was quiet and a few miles from the party. The apartment had plenty of space and we enjoyed having a small kitchen to use. John's apartment is close to the bus line and the trolley, so it was easy to get to the French Quarter and to Magazine Street. John was also exceptionally helpful with travel directions to help us find our way around the city.
