The apartment is lovely, with interesting art on the walls, and a comfortable bed, sofa, and desk. It's located in a really interesting district, too, with good restaurants and bars, art galleries, and the jazz clubs of Frenchmen St. within walking distance. I will note that the 88 bus is less than reliable, so if you want to get regularly to the French Quarter and/or the conference hotels, bear that in mind. I loved being able to hear the tugboats on the Mississippi and the neighbor's rooster in the morning; for a city, it's quite quiet, but if you're not used to cities, do bear in mind these things and the thin walls.
