We had a great 5 nights at Donnie and Cheryl's apartment. Donnie picked us up at the airport and gave us a nice tour of the city then took us for groceries. The apartment was lovely and we felt quite at home. They are just outside the French quarter where we spent most of our time and got a great feel for this city. Cheryl suggested other venues to see such as the sugar cane plantations outside of town. We went to them and were impressed. There are bike rentals nearby so you can either walk or bike to whatever you want to see. we ate in 3 out of our 5 nights as we thoroughly enjoyed the garden patio and pool area for cocktails and our meals. We tried out many of the restaurants for lunch. We also ate at Feelings right near their place, which was fabulous. I would recommend staying here!
