Upon checking in, David greeted us with a big smile that made us feel right at home. He gave us a tour and told us a bit about the house -- it's a plantation style house with a lot of history. Not having ever been to NOLA, we chatted with him for a bit about restaurant recommendations, how to get around the city, and what we should see/do while we were there. He was very accommodating and responsive the entire time we stayed there.

The house, itself, is on a beautiful tree-lined street approximately 15-20 minutes (walking) from the French market and downtown area. We walked a few days and took Uber a few times as well. There is a mini-mart literally right across the street from the apartment. It's also within quick walking distance (5 minutes) to at least two breakfast places. We were in NOLA because I was attending a conference (at the convention center) for part of the time. The house is located 2-3 miles from the convention center, so I took Uber each morning and at the end of the day. It was inexpensive - $10 per trip. I also had the option of walking 15-20 minutes to the street car, which I believe goes directly to the convention center.

The apartment is on the first floor of the house. We loved the fact that laundry was included. We also had access to a full-size fridge, dishwasher, microwave, and stove. We could have made a really nice dinner there if we wanted to. However, we ended up eating out each night because there were so many good restaurants to try! The couch in the living area folds into a comfortable day-bed, which we used one night when we had a guest from out of town. Overall, the apartment is very spacious and comfortable. We also felt very safe.

For such an old house, there was a ton of charm accented with all of the modern amenities. The house is stocked with plates, dishes, laundry detergent, can opener, silverware, wine opener, etc.; however, we bought our own coffee, creamer, snacks, water, and toilet paper (there were only a couple of rolls there, and we were staying for week).

Overall, it was a great experience - good location - within walking distance or an easy Uber ride -- and away from the craziness of Bourbon Street.
