We were really happy with the location of the apartment. A very short walk to an excellent cafe (Cake Cafe'- and trust me on the fried catfish and grits) , and a few blocks to St. Roch Market for more incredible eats. Live music an easy walk in several directions. We walked everywhere unless we were in a hurry or wearing heels, and in that case, Uber was never more than 5 min away. New Orleans is pretty spread out, so no matter what neighborhood you choose, you will end up on some kind of transportation if you want to see the city. We walked a short distance to the riverfront street car, paid $3 for an all day pass, and took street cars and buses everywhere- an unbeatable deal.
The apartment itself is exactly as pictured. The high ceilings and large windows were charming and there is an abundance of natural light. (The flip side is that there is no controlling the light, so bring an eye mask for sleeping.) The furnishings are sparse, with a not particularly comfortable sofa (sofa bed) for seating, and a small table and chairs. The balconies are wonderful, and the apartment is quiet with a comfortable bed. Their other apartment has a kitchen, and though I would not think of cooking in NOLA, I realized that I really missed having a sink and some real glasses. However, the prep area is well equipped with a Keurig, juice, filtered water, and snacks. There are thoughtful touches, such as umbrellas and lists of neighborhood spots.
The hosts were most helpful and provided daily suggestions on where to hear great music, and even supplied a yoga mat at my request. They allowed us a late checkout which was much appreciated. Overall, (though I might throw in a couple of lamps and a bedside table to add to comfort), I'd say this is an excellent choice for a stay in New Orleans- one I'd gladly repeat.
