We stayed at Polly's place for 8 days in August with our dog. The location is excellent, a few minutes to the streetcar on St. Charles and about a 20 minute walk to magazine st, where there are plenty of shops and restaurants. The place was neat and tidy, with a convenient back yard and patio. It was also very quiet. Polly had lots of local tips in her binder and a couple of guidebooks. Despite the sweltering August heat, we managed to stay cool in the apartment. We had some issues with the wifi connection, but Polly was able to help with that. I recommend this place for anyone visiting new Orleans.
