The place is located in a great walkable area. It was right outside the French Quarter near local dining spots and convenience stores, which was very helpful. The best part was that it was located across the street from the trolley line. While other reviews mentioned the lack of cable television, we found that it was a non-factor as we were there to attend the Essence Festival and have as much fun as possible outside of the apartment. Jay was a helpful host and provided great information regarding local places to visit off the "strip" (i.e. Bourbon Street). For those looking to lose weight, definitely visit in July like we did. We came home 4 lbs lighter from the heat, humidity and walking. But we had a great time and would stay at Jay's place again.
