You can't go wrong with this apartment. Darren is a first class host with extraordinary communication. The location is great, just outside of the French Quarter, within a reasonable walk of Decatur street and close to several major streets. The apartment street was quiet with light to moderate traffic. Several nice restaurants within walking distance (Eat New Orleans had good food and a pleasant ambiance but it is BYOB since they don't have a liquor license. Grocery store about 1 block away has a nice selection of liquor.). The apartment was cozy with plenty of room for 2 people. Darren showed us a drawer full of tourist brochures so if you didn't bring your own travel book you could get a head start on planning what to see.
We rented a car and were lucky to find street parking right outside the apartment each night. Think carefully about a car in NOLA because city parking is sometimes iffy depending upon the neighborhood - definitely tight parking in and near the French Quarter. Even though tour groups provide transportation to/from out of city tours (swamp and plantation) we were glad we had a car to get to those places to see more of the area and to do so on our time schedule.
