The listing was exactly as described and pictured. It is unique and very spacious. The apartment is in a great location and is within walking distance of virtually everything. Esplanade Ave is a fairly busy street--there is a lot of activity going on. On the plus side, this makes for great people watching and for taking in the spirit of the City. On the flip side, it can be noisy in the early morning with delivery trucks and garbage trucks. You don't need a car there unless you need to go outside of the City. There are plenty of cabs or you can walk to street cars and bus lines.
The apartment has a fully-stocked kitchen with dishes, glasses, and cookware. With the great restaurants all over New Orleans, we only used it for making breakfast. There is also a washer and dryer in the unit which is also convenient.
Our host was very welcoming. Any questions we had beforehand were answered promptly. We were greeted promptly upon arrival and given a thorough tour of the apartment, amenities, the neighborhood and suggestions for places to eat, drink, or listen to music. We enjoyed every minute of our stay there and would definitely stay there again.
