You can't beat this location! One block from the streetcar to take you uptown or down to the Quarter and three blocks to Magazine for tons of restaurants and shops. We were there for a month without a car, so walking, public transportation and Lyft were our modes of travel and were super easy to navigate. I don't think we paid more than It was a bit of a haul to a decent-sized grocery store, but there is a bus that goes directly down Magazine to get there.
There are a TON of small, unique little places opening (or re-opening) all around the apartment and we spent quite a few days just walking and exploring and were totally entertained. Plus, the balcony looking over Prytania can't be beat!
This apartment is part of two houses that each have three apartments. Being there for a month, we had to contend with different noise/hours of each group that moved in and out. Save for one couple our last week, everyone was friendly and respectful and all loved their places, from what we could tell. Just mention this in case you're looking for a completely separate place from neighbors...you won't have that here.
They are older houses, so along with the gorgeous character (hardwood, old fireplaces in every room, beautiful details) you'll contend with older plumbing/low water pressure and a fairly narrow staircase to enter/exit (keep this in mind when you're packing...you'll have to carry it up). These are things that I think won't be a big deal to most guests, as our stay was much longer than typical.
We can't wait to come back!
