John's place was great: clean, comfortable, and quiet. John was totally accommodating as a host—my fellow traveler and I got in to New Orleans relatively late at night, and John had arranged for us to easily access the apartment whenever we arrived. He checked in with us a few times throughout our stay to make sure we were well-stocked in supplies and enjoying our time in New Orleans. (We were!)

The apartment is located a bit out of the city center, but is only a short walk from bus and streetcar stops. It may not be the locale someone would pick to spend a raucous week in the heart of New Orleans, but it's the one I'd pick for a nice, cozy base from which to plan daytime activities—after which it's a welcome retreat for some nighttime peace and quiet.

Overall a great choice for my time in New Orleans.
