Quiet, clean, affordable accommodations in a nice area that's convenient to the city, but out of the fray. Jill and Sandy's place is an attached home, with a private entrance, bedroom, bath, full-size kitchen and living room. It has a porch that is shared with the hosts, who live next door. It's in a lovely, tree-lined neighborhood that is a quick $2 ferry ride away from the French Quarter and the CBD (make sure you go to the lower level and get a picture from the Algiers side coming back) but seems like a different part of the country. The Italian place a few steps from the ferry port has great pizza (try the Red Goat), but delivery takes a while, so plan ahead or pick it up yourself (or eat it there). The gourmet take-out I saw online, The Appetite Repair Shop, was closed, sadly, due to a fire. I did have coffee and a scone from Congregation coffee one morning on my way to the ferry, and that was very nice. I never made it to Tout de Suite, but it looked good. I was told by friends who visited Algiers that the dive bar on Patterson has great music, so ask the hosts about that. I do suggest that if you want packaged liquor and you don't have a car, buy it in the city before you come over. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. You'll enjoy your stay in Algiers.
