My friends and I had a great time in NOLA staying at Leda and Don's place. Don was a wealth of information on the area and promptly addressed any issues we encountered like resetting the wifi box. He also provided us with some bottled water which was much appreciated as we dealt with the New Orleans heat! The apartment was nice for the four of us as we each got some private space, and the front room has a comfy couch and a smart TV for watching Hulu/Netflix/etc. Our first impression of the neighborhood was that it was a bit rough, but as they say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover, it was fine once we got adjusted. It is a short walk to the French Quarter, there is a Walgreen's a few blocks away if you forgot to pack a few things, and there are a few restaurants within walking distance if you need to grab a bite to eat.
