The place is beatiful, there is a lot of light, the balcony is great, and the appartment has a beautiful style -- lots of wood and calm colours.
The tram is just two blocks away, and takes you to the French Quarter in 40mins. That is quite a long ride, but you will enjoy the views left and right, and the ride on the tram itself.
I did not meet Josh in person but he was very prompt in communication before and during the stay.
