We had a great time staying at Gina's apartment. The home was open and bright, with high ceilings and even more space than the photos hint at. The A/C units in each room worked great too. Gina is a courteous and fun host, super helpful with local knowledge, and she went out of her way to make us feel at home: We had to hustle to a dinner event right after we arrived and were about to call a cab, but Gina and her sister offered us a ride instead! She also made bikes available to us.
The location is very accessible to the airport and local bars and restaurants, and later in our visit we did walk and take a few cabs. Getting around was easy. City Park and Bayou St Jean are both just a short walk away, and streets in the area are well shaded and cool. Recommended: breakfast at Morning Call in the park (coffee and beignets! open 24/7, cash only).
We definitely hope to stay at Gina's again when we travel back!
