It was a great experience. Martin was very responsive via texts and was waiting for me at the door when I arrived. No surprises about the apartment as the pictures captured the space well. The location was ideal, very close to Bourbon st, but elevated enough such that it wasn't too loud. Occasionally you could hear some music from a particularly loud pop-up band, but it was background noise.

As mentioned in the post, it's the 5th floor and there's no elevator. Not a big deal, but you'll feel it if you have a lot of luggage. Also in the post, there's no traditional shower. There's a very nice tub with a flexible shower head.

Kitchen seemed well stocked, although I didn't use it ... plenty of great restaurants in the area. The bowl of snacks/waters Martin provided was a nice touch. All in all, I enjoyed my stay.
