Great little apartment in a fantastic neighbourhood. We really enjoyed our stay. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfortable. You might want to bring earplugs as there are late night trains and a couple of roosters who live nearby, which is awesome but a little annoying after the first couple times they crow at dawn. The main floor is a little small and not well laid out, but perfectly serviceable, and certainly beats a hotel. There is a large back yard with seating.
We had a little problem with the hot water the first couple of days. Apparently another tenant of the building turned the water heater down for some reason. When we contacted Krekel they immediately came over, and we had hot water for the rest of the stay. I mention this just so future renters know to contact Krekel ASAP if there are problems.
I can't say enough great things about the neighbourhood. The apartment is in "The Marigny" which is beautiful and safe and very cool. There is a great community feel, with friendly neighbours walking their dogs in the evening. There are two coffee places 1/2 block on either side (we loved the "Who Dat Cafe") and a few charming restaurants further East into Bytown. It's a very short walk to the great music and food places on Frenchman street, and a little further to the craziness that is the French Quarter.
Overall we had a great experience and I highly recommend this appartment!
