Sarah's place is gorgeous - you can tell she works in an artistic field because everything about the place feels curated, with so many interesting things to look at. I got to live the bohemian artist's life vicariously through her apartment for a couple of days!
The apartment is a good size for a couple of people, and sleeping in the loft bed was a lot of fun. I wouldn't advise having too many drinks before climbing those narrow steps to bed though! Similarly, if you have mobility issues the stairs could be challenging to climb up and down, but otherwise this was a lot of fun and added to the experience.
The radio was playing when I arrived, set to a great local radio station called WWOZ. I thought this was a really nice touch, and I enjoyed that station so much I put it on every day while I was in the apartment to listen to them!
The apartment is in the Garden District, within an easy walk of Magazine Street, and the St Charles streetcar. It's also possible to walk into central New Orleans, though this takes about an hour, so I walked in and got the streetcar back when I did it. If you're driving into the city from Baton Rouge then it's not far from the main road into the city, so easy to get to. Parking is on street, so you have to hope there's a space nearby, but there was when I was there and there are no parking restrictions on the street.
I would highly recommend staying in Sarah's beautiful apartment if you're visiting New Orleans and want to get the experience of the city without being too in the middle of everything.
