We loved our stay at this great apartment! What you will appreciate: it's clean and neat; it's reasonably priced; it's big, especially the bathroom; the fridge and washer/dryer (detergent is provided); it's private (although the host family includes three small children, they are amazingly quiet); and there's free street parking right outside. Be careful that you don't park too close to a stop sign though. Your car must be at least 20 feet away from it, and we got a $40 ticket for parking just 4 feet away. We can't gripe; it was our fault. When we first drove around the neighborhood, we were a bit worried because it's old and, well, colorful. Some homes, like the host's, are well-kept; others decidedly less so. The location is within walking distance of the French Quarter, but because the weather was so hot and humid, we chose to drive. Parking can be expensive in the heart of the quarter, but we found a lot near the French Market which cost $25 for 24 hours.
