This was better than pictured. The apartment seems to be the ground floor of an old Victorian-style house. Lovely high ceilings, lots of space, some nice antique touches in the sitting room, an up-to-date and functional kitchen. The bathroom is small but functional. The bedroom was adequate and the bed quite comfortable with more than enough pillows for a pillow hog like me. The place was sparkling clean. AC worked very well and was critical as it was in the 90's with 80% humidty. Washer and dryer worked well, also critical since I washed clothes every other day because of the humidity. Wifi was fast but I had to monkey a bit with the modem position to get it to reach to the bedroom.
Neighborhood is quiet and residential, about a 1/2 mile west from downtown and a good mile from the French Quarter. If you're like me and you want to enjoy the night life but you don't want to sleep in the middle of it every night, this is perfect.
The St Charles Street car is one block away and goes straight to Bourbon Street and the French Quarter. A couple of good restaurants and bars within 1-2 blocks, plus a classic old diner, the Please-U-Restaurant on St. Charles just a block away.
I rode a bicycle each day, the social/sharing bike service called Blue Bikes. That worked quite well, New Orleans being very flat, and there was a docking station with several bikes only a block away. It was quite easy to sign up with no committment and was quite cheap. But for transportation the Street Car, Uber, or Lyft are easy to get as well.
All-in-all this was a pefect place for me, a quiet, cool refuge with great access, and Mack was a very communicative host, conscious of the little details that make the place perfect.
