We have two preschoolers and the four of us were able to stay comfortably. The apartment was clean and welcoming. We didn't spend any time out back, but the outdoor area was very nice and well kept. Laundry facilities on site were a huge plus! The location was as promised. We never felt unsafe during our stay. We were easily able to walk to the streetcar stops. The World War II Museum was within our walking range with the littles, too. Other attractions of interest for us (French Quarter, Garden District, Aquarium, Jackson Square) were easily accessible by streetcar and short walks. Without the kids in tow, they would be within biking/walking range (a mile or so). Other city attractions like City Park and the Zoo were short drives away. The hosts were hands off, but available (our preference). Overall, this was an excellent stay!
