What a cute and "real" experience in a thoughtfully renovated apartment. It still retains a lot of character (a bit of draft and all). The outside courtyard is a lovely place to sit. Be aware that the apartment sits on a busy street and at certain times of the day there is a lot of truck traffic and noise. However, from the bedroom area you aren't really bothered by that. It's within very easy walking distance from Magazine street and the Warehouse District (and then the French Quarter if you don't mind hoofing it a bit). Street parking was easy. Neil had stocked the fridge a bit, which was welcome in the AMs, and had provided some really nice recommendations for restaurants, etc. Oh, do be aware that the adjacent building hosts weddings/parties, and if you are an early-to-bed person the music might bother you. Otherwise, lots of privacy and ease of movement. Great spot to enjoy NOLA but have some elbow room!
