This was a great spot for us to do exactly what we were looking for during our 6 night stay - poking around New Orleans, sampling great restaurants and shops, and having a comfortable "home base" to come back to.
The apartment is located just a few blocks from Magazine Street which offers numerous restaurants, pubs, and shops. It is also very near the Urban South Brewery, which we enjoyed. The apartment is close to the streetcar (which is a must in our opinion) and a self-guided Garden District walking tour downloaded from iTunes for about $2, which was fun and informative.
The synagogue is a beautiful old building that has been tastefully remodeled into apartments with a shared private, exterior deck space that was a nice retreat after a day of exploring. It was nice to have our own assigned parking within the fenced lot. It was always a pleasure to come back to a guaranteed parking stall after consistently searching for parking throughout NOLA/French Quarter while out and about.
The apartment interior was very comfortable. Loved the comfy king bed and pillows, spacious shower with good water pressure, ceiling fans, and kitchen which had everything we needed to make our breakfasts before heading out for a full day of exploring. We appreciated the nice tv with Pandora, Netflix, etc. We enjoyed the old brick, tall windows, and exposed beams in our apartment. It was a pleasure to live in and feel the historic nature of the building.
Many thanks to the hosts for offering such a nice spot! We would definitely stay here again. We found the Garden District to be very charming and preferable to the craziness of the French Quarter, so this was the perfect spot.
