A group of us traveled to NOLA for my birthday, and rented both units in the building (Jane Milne and Watson), which worked out really well for us. Above all, Gwen was very kind and accommodating: she showed me around the neighborhood, checked in to see if we wanted a mid-stay clean, and held my bags on the last day until I had to leave. The location was ideal: just a short walk to Frenchman and Bourbon Streets along Esplanade. As others noted, taxis are a little harder to come by, but I think that is true of anyplace outside the French Quarter. The neighborhood is pretty quiet, and we never felt unsafe, but as with any other city, you need to use common sense when you are out at night. The apt is a little quirky in the layout (huge master, tiny 2nd bedroom) and the kitchen/bathrooms are a little shabby, but that's to be expected of old remodeled buildings. We didn't spend all that much time in the bedrooms, and the spacious living room made it easy for all of us to hang out when we were in the apt. I would stay here again.
