My best friend and I had a wonderful long weekend at Rachel's place and would highly recommend it for a group of 2-4 friends, family, or even two couples. Rachel is a very thoughtful and communicative host. The description and other reviews pretty much capture everything -- it's a shotgun style apartment with historical charm, beautiful decor, and functional details that made our stay very seamless. It's also huge -- more space than we needed or expected!
We had access to a friend's car during our stay, so I can't speak to what it's like without guaranteed transportation, but from our perspective the location was extremely central and convenient. In the mornings we walked to different coffee shops, and walked to the French Quarter several times. For further neighborhoods, like the Bywater and Bayou St. John, everything we were interested in was within a 10-15 minute drive max.
As long as you're okay with shotgun style (we had no issues with it), don't hesitate to book this place!
