We really enjoyed our stay in Russell's guest apartment. There was more than enough space and the rooms were really well appointed. The beds were super comfy! The rooms have lots of fun Louisiana themed art and posters and the place had a great vibe. The house is on a really pretty boulevard street with huge old oak trees. So Louisiana charm abounds!

Algiers Point is a really cool old neighborhood and Russell knew a lot about its history. We had a really nice time enjoying the unseasonably warm weather and walking around the neighborhood looking at the homes. The neighborhood is really sweet and laid back. There are some fun bars, we enjoyed checking out a pub called the Crown and Anchor. Another bar had live music but we didn't have a chance to check it out this time. Russell was really helpful with giving us directions and suggestions of stuff to do when we asked, which was great.

One of the best parts of staying in Algiers was the ferry to the French Quarter! It was easy and enjoyable to walk to the ferry from the apartment, and the ride across the mighty Mississippi was nice. There are good views of the city. On the other side, the ferry terminal is right by a mall and the Aquarium, and basically the corner of the French Quarter. So it is really great to be able to walk and enjoy the food, shops, and yes, bars, without having to pay the crazy French Quarter rates, or fight parking and traffic!

We will definitely stay at Russell's place again, and we will recommend it to friends!
