This apartment is basic but clean and the neighborhood is beautiful and safe. You are right on Bayou St John and are within walking distance to City Park, the street car, a market and restaurants. If you are a light sleeper, you should be aware that the next door church bells start ringing at 6 am and every hour after that. Also, there is not an actual stove or oven in the apartment so if you are planning on cooking meals there is a toaster oven, a microwave and a hot plate for your use. Lydia is a very nice host! She met us upon our late arrival and had the lights and heater turned on. Her communications were great!
