My stay at Michael's apartment exceeded EVERY expectation I may have had.

I was attending a conference at the Ernest Morial Convention Center, an easy 5-10 minute walk from Michael's apartment. On the walk you have easy access to Mardi Gras World, so one day I left the conference for a bit and went to Mardi Gras World for a tour! It is also a 10 minute walk or so to an upscale, small grocery store off of Poeyfaire.

The apartment itself: the moment you walk into the place, and up the lovely stairs, is a feeling that you are in New Orleans. The furnishings are amazing, to the point where I wanted to hire Michael to furnish my own apartment. The paintings are wonderful, the high ceilings and tall glass windows (with plenty of curtains to block any sun you may want to), make the apartment feel very roomy. The living room is huge and has a TV and a sound system if you would like to play music, and is very comfortable. There kitchen is also big, with space for another couch/futon in the room. The bedroom is relatively smaller, but still comfortable with plenty of space for your clothes, and hangers for clothes in the closet. There is an iron, a hair dryer, and umbrellas.

I often would walk down to the French Quarter for dinner after the conference, but I did always take a taxi back but it wasn't too expensive to do so. There is a taxi company close by also that will take you too and from the airport that lets you use credit cards, though I can't remember it's name right now (perhaps United?). Although it's conveniently located, it's also very quiet in the evenings with nothing to interrupt your sleep.

All in all, if I came back to New Orleans I'd stay in Michael's place a hundred times over!!
