This was a great visit. The room was small but plenty enough room for 2. We stayed a month-2 weeks before through 2 weeks after Mardi Gras. The apartment was close (2 blocks) to the streetcar line. That allowed us to leave the car parked and go to parades, the French Quarter, the WWII museum, etc. without worrying about parking, traffic or enjoying a beverage. Madison told us about a festival in St Bernard Parish for descendants from the Canary Islands (including the best oysters we have tasted). Overall we are starting to plan our next visit to New Orleans and hope to stay with Madison again.
