We arrived in New Orleans a day earlier than we originally planned. Although the apartment was not available Miriam did went out of her way to have it available before the scheduled check in time.

The apartment lies in a safe neighbourhood and is well located for exploring both the French quarter and City Park where the beautiful Besthoff sculpture garden is found.

There are grocery stores within walking distance (two very near the Fair Grinds Coffee house) - a boon for anyone shopping for food to accommodate a special diet. The kitchen has all the necessities, although I would have appreciated a pair of kitchen scissors. The only other thing we missed was a bedside reading light.
