The apartment is lovely and a ton of space for 2 people. We enjoyed exploring the neighborhood and found that it was a pleasant walk to and from the French Quarter, especially through the Marigny. Also the Bywater and St. Claude were cool. It has all the essentials for cooking, plenty of towels. No issues. The trains are super loud, but after a few days in New Orleans I realized EVERYBODY must be within earshot of those tooting trains coming through. Just bring earplugs and/or embrace the vibe!
