We didn't meet Steve & Melissa but they answered any questions we had very promptly by email. The studio apartment is beautifully decorated & very well stocked, incl milk, juice, beers, granola & coffee! There is a huge washer & dryer which was very handy. It is very safe (behind a high locked gate) & has keyless entry which meant we didn't have to remember keys. Very quiet area and only a few minutes walk to the French quarter, although not quite as nice. We could walk right to the river in about 25 minutes. There is a good little grocery store called Matassa's Cnr St Phillip & Dauphine which has some fresh fruit & veggies & essential items, only 15 mins walk away. We went out every evening for dinner in the French quarter & it was a nice stroll back. A very nice stay.
