This is my new favorite place in New Orleans, and I want to come back every year! Luxurious accommodations, close to the French Quarter without being in it, perfection all around. The apartment is gorgeous—really, the pictures don’t do it justice. It’s spacious for a one bedroom, with high ceilings that make it feel even larger, and historical details that give character and beauty while every appliance and piece of furnishing is new and works perfectly, so you get all the comforts of modernity. I understand that plumbing can be a problem in these old buildings, but Sandy has done such a great job of keeping this place up, that there was never a glitch. The apartment was decorated by someone with a real gift. Not only was it arranged very attractively, but it was thoughtful as well. The decorator forsaw everywhere you’d want a side table, or a lamp, or a place to hang your coat. There was a cozy chair to curl up and read, and Smart TVs in both rooms hooked to Amazon Prime and Netflix as well as regular TV channels. We stayed for five weeks and it had everything I needed to be comfortable. Also, I was here to write as well as see the city, so I spent a bit more time in the apartment than most tourists would and found it very comfortable. There was a desk that I used a lot, and a little kitchen table that isn’t shown in the pictures. I also sat on the front porch quite a bit, because it looks out into a 100+ year old oak tree, and the view is beautiful. We even had a Mardi Gras parade go right by the house! The neighborhood is quiet and lovely, the streets arched with centuries-old oak trees, and the sidewalks moving from concrete to root-buckled bricks to mossy stone and back to concrete again. All the houses are historic in age and detail, but freshly painted and lovingly restored. I spent much time walking the neighborhood just to admire all the architectural styles. I felt very safe here, there wasn’t any traffic to speak of, and we never had difficulty finding parking. I spent lots of time walking and biking on the trail just down the street that borders the river. I was worried at first about staying so far outside the city, but since I would never stay in the French Quarter itself (too loud, too much crime), Algier’s Point was a faster commute than even walking over from the Marigny, which I’ve done in the past. The ferry terminal is very close to this apartment, and from there, it’s about 5 minutes across the river and you’re in the heart of the French Quarter. It’s literally the fastest way to get to center of town without having to stay there, and the ferry was always running when we needed it. I also found a gym (Planet Fitness) which was a 15 minute bike ride...
