This is the place to stay if you want to experience a real New Orleans neighborhood away from the tourist havens. It was a pleasure to see this neighborhood that has re-established itself after Katrina. The apartment has all you need for a comfortable visit. The Robert Fresh Market is nearby and includes a good deli with prepared New Orleans favorites that are quickly heated in a microwave. I strongly recommend the Oyster Artichoke Rockefeller soup. My husband and I will happily return to this apartment when we next visit New Orleans.

If you decide to stay here, see if you can guess the original use of the grillwork decorating the back fence.
