Kate's place is amazing and definitely undersold in the photos!!! Its in a cool neighbourhood next to Frenchmens St, and after that is the french quarter. There are amazing delicious foods all around the apartment without being in the middle of the tourist bustle.
The apartment is located at the top floor of a historical building, with very cool architecture.. once you walk in its a big space that is bileveled. Because its so high it has amazing views of the river and the city. The bathroom is beautifully renovated in stone.
Overall I felt safe walking home before midnight. Most of the time we used the blue bikes which are very easy to navigate and you can park them anywhere. The Bao and Noodle place across the street and the Cake Cafe and Bakery down the street are musts!!
