Phoebe is an excellent host and a great guide to New Orleans. She lead us to so many great things in the city that we never would have found on our own! She's also just an interesting person to talk to. The apartment is really lovely, clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and well-located. It is in easy walking distance to many shops and restaurants. I think that this is a great place for a family vacation, people looking to party on Mardi Gras would be happier in a place closer to the French Quarter.
