Great location with access to NOLA without the chaos of the French Quarter. The neighborhood is vibrant and full of options for coffee, food, and history. David was great in providing suggestions, quick to respond, and generous as a host. The apartment is well laid out, stylish with all the amenities. I didn't take advantage of cooking in the kitchen (I mean, why cook when your in New Orleans?), but it was nice to have the refrig, sink, and electric kettle handy. In the listing, David notes the apartment shares a wall with his household and to expect some sound to carry across. This is a fact. I'm use to hearing noise from neighbors (at my home apartment [built in 1920], my bedroom shares a wall with the next house and I can hear their two young children in their bedroom), but the noise level at David's place is more pronounced (although in either case, it doesn't bother me much). I think it is amplified by the fireplaces and the other side of the wall seems to be shared space (possibly hallway and living space) instead of a bedroom, so there is more action happening. This is not to dissuade anyone from this charming apartment with wonderful hosts, but if you are looking to rent a place to "recover" from the previous night and sleep in, you might want to look elsewhere. If you're interested in exploring the neighborhoods, accessing all that NOLA has to offer, and having a delightful apartment be your home base, this would be the place for you.
