Beautiful neighborhood, local to French Quarter, but a pleasant walk's distance from the madness of the busy tourist district. Located just off Esplanade - a charming tree-lined street good for strolling or biking. The apartment was clean, well-appointed, and charming. The front patio is beautiful. Steve and Melissa were great hosts. We had local beers and essentials waiting for us in the kitchen. We only met them in passing once, but were very nice and accommodating. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting New Orleans.
