Lovely small apartment in a beautiful house and it's a great, safe neighbourhood. We only stayed two nights but this apartment would also be comfortable for an extended stay.
John also kindly provided an air bed and was very accommodating to our arrival and departure times.
There is a cheap and frequent bus service nearby to Downtown New Orleans and taxis are also efficient and reasobably priced. We walked 15 blocks to the Oak Street area which has some nice restaurants, bars and cafes.
