We loved staying in Michael's apartment for a weekend trip to New Orleans. The apartment was spacious with lots of amenities - wifi, speakers for music, extra sheets/towels, and some really great art all throughout the place. There's a great breakfast spot right around the corner and it's easy to get to two street car lines to take you to the French Quarter or further into the Garden District. (Or just walk - it's only about 15 mins to the warehouse district and edge of the French Quarter). Check-in and check-out were a breeze, and Michael was kind enough to let us stay a few extra hours on our last day since our flight wasn't till later in the evening. I would highly recommend staying at his place for anyone visiting New Orleans.
