Stay among the locals in this historically charming apartment with period details and a very responsive host. It ticked all the boxes for proximity: live music on Frenchman St., running/walking in Crescent Park, cafes, restaurants and a Mardi Gras walking parade in front of our door. We loved the king-size bed and appreciated the strong Wifi and a desk to work remotely. There was the city’s hum of passing trains and foghorns in the distance, so if you’re planning on complete quiet for your visit this might not be the best spot. But if you like meeting locals and are a fan of period architecture, then Nick’s place is the right choice.
