We were in New Orleans for a girls get away. When I contacted my host with some questions about our trip she was very helpful. We were met with the key on our arrival and shown around our accomodations. If we had any questions we had only to call a number and our questions were answered.
The accomodations were just as pictured on the website. The apartment is on the second floor and was very spacious and charming. There were 4 of us and we had plenty of room. The kitchen, though small, was adequate to prepare breakfast and snacks. The neighborhood seems to be a transitional one with lots of renovations going on. It is within walking distance to the French Quarter but it is a good walk. There are a few restaurants within easy walking distance and it is within walking distance to Frenchmen St. where there are many restaurants and bars with music. We did plenty of walking and never felt unsafe but we did take cabs home at night. We had a great time and would recommentd it to friends who want more of a real New Orleans experience instead of a sterile hotel room.
