The place is nice and clean and I was pleasantly surprised to find coffee and a coffeemaker. The queen-size bed was very comfortable and the A/C worked fine. The neighbors we met were very nice. It's just two blocks to the trolley stop, which is easy to take to get closer to the French quarter and downtown. A nice grocery store, Robert's, and a Walgreen's are just four short blocks away. The apartment is cute and has a few quirks typical of an older home, which is what I am used to at home. The neighborhood is transitional, with some houses fixed up very nicely and a few not. Don't fall for the "sick grandmother" scam going around New Orleans. We only lost ten bucks and we felt it gave us good karma anyway.
