We were very comfortable staying in Jo's Treme Central apartment. Boy, did we love New Orleans! This apartment is near everything, yet not right in the middle of everything. It is on the second floor in an old but well-preserved building, and you'll want to be careful on the slightly steep stairs. Having lived in older homes in Massachusetts, this was no problem for me. There is such character in this place (this neighborhood, too), and a unique eye was used in decorating it. Plenty of space, stunning natural light in the bathroom from a skylight, a nicely prepped kitchen INCLUDING a corkscrew- we were impressed. Loved the mirrors! And my dog was comfortable; there are a few green spaces within a couple of blocks, including famous Louis Armstrong Park, where the locals take their dogs. I really could not get enough of walking these residential areas, seeing the incredible paint colors and historical details and photos waiting to be taken. If you sleep very lightly, be aware that this street seems to wake up around 8:30am, with some chatter and bustling about, partly due to the pedicure shop below. We didn't mind. We chatted with several nice neighbors, including the pedicure shop owner, her kids, her dad, and the handymen who take care of any issue with the apartment since the owner is offsite. People are generally friendly and helpful in New Orleans, so don't be shy. : ) I slept well, everything was clean, and the large balcony was refreshing every time, day or night. We really appreciated Arianna (our contact during our stay), letting us check out at the last possible second before the cleaning people arrived. : ) Convenience store/gas station on the corner, a couple of small museums nearby. Lots of construction around New Orleans at this time, but not lots of traffic lights lol (or not what we're used to), so drive with care. If you like to walk, you can get places on foot. We recommend, as others have, the bar Port Of Call for BURGERS, baked potatoes. We also loved: Acme Oyster House in the Quarter; taking the streetcars up and down the lines as cheap but AWESOME visual tours of the city; and our riverboat cruise on the mighty Mississippi. But music is the main attraction here; the history is powerful, the standards are high, and there's great music everywhere, especially at night. We will be back!
