If you are looking for a GREAT, CLEAN, and fully equipped place to stay during your time in New Orleans, I highly recommend Reggie's place. It is in a perfect location for conferences at the convention center, as well as access to many restaurants and attractions.
There are stores and drug store located near by for shopping for food and necessities. The apartment is located on the second floor and is very secure.
Reggie makes it easy to check-in, and provides a booklet with everything you need to know about wifi, tv, local restaurants, and safety tips. I would consider staying here again if I were to visit New Orleans. Thanks Reggie!
