I enjoyed my stay at Jim and Mikki's place. The unit is spacious with a full-sized kitchen/ bathroom, walk-in closet, and a small sofa even. There are some extra supplies like towels, pillows, space heaters, etc. if you need them.
I especially enjoyed its location. It's a minute away from the James-Beard-nominated Gris Gris. I had the gumbo there which was very good. Along Magazine street are many small, independent restaurants and outlets to indulge any eating/ shopping you want to do. Hi-Volt coffee a block up has a very smooth latte (trust me, I'm from Seattle) and cheap/ tasty breakfast sandwiches and bowls. If you get a chance, just walk around the neighborhood north of Magazine, the architecture and gardens are unique and cool.
Public transport is nearby. The 11 bus runs right along Magazine street and - in the other direction - 1 block up on Camp St. Walk up Felicity a few blocks and the St. Charles streetcar station is there. Get a Jazzy pass to avoid having to look for change: a 3-day all you can ride pass is only $9 with 1 day being $3.
Store hours throughout New Orleans might be shorter than what you are used to. Many places close for lunch around 2-3 and re-open later and independent retail shops close at 6 PM so plan you eating/ shopping expeditions.
