Rico was very responsive to all of our needs of which we had few. It is a very comfortable place from which you can explore the city and surrounds as you will. Great apartment - spacious and clean, fabulous neighborhood which we chose over the Garden district with its own rich charms. Not knowing New Orleans, we were challenged by where to stay. We definitely made the right choice. This Bywater neighborhood kept on engaging us for the week as we walked back and forth on different streets in the neighborhood and to the French Quarter and explored by street car and our own car other parts of the city, the plantation road, and the SE Louisiana bayou. (Check out Isle de Jean Charles!)

Thank you again to our hosts!
It was a wonderful interesting walk of about 25-30 minutes to get to Jackson Square which was the heart of the French Quarter. We are "aging hippies" and so preferred the Bywater. Color, architecture, quirky stuff, surprises around the corners, food, music. We felt very safe walking to and fro the French Quarter. (though we were not walking around past midnight so cannot speak to that)
