I have been a resident of New Orleans for the last two and a half years while completing grad school at LSU's downtown NOLA campus. My family came into town for my graduation so we rented Farron's Firehouse apartment in Mid City for more room than my accommodations can offer. This being said, I am familiar with the city and the area, so I knew this would be a wonderful location for us. Just steps off of Canal and Carrollton with neighborhood shops, bars, and cafes galore, you can't go wrong in this part of town. The neighborhood is also quiet, which is nice to recharge after the long nights spent out painting the town. The apartment is perfect for a quick uber trip (or a long walk) to some of my favorite bars for low-key nights (Bayou Wine Garden, Wrong Iron, The Bulldog, Mid City Yacht Club) and getting to the French Quarter is no problem.
Besides the wonderful location, Farron's apartment is also very clean with plenty of towels, kitchen equipment, and bedding needs. Check-in was a breeze with the detailed instructions left for us, and check-in and out times were very flexible. Farron also has a great "house rules" book full of yummy restaurant suggestions and fun things to do in the city. Overall, this apartment is a wonderful find for anyone looking to visit the city and we look forward to potentially staying here again!
