First off the apartment is in the historic holy cross lower ninth Ward. It is about 5 miles from the French quarter so you would probably need a car to get around we rented a vehicle and it was fantastic that we did. Deals can be found on Hotwire.com The apartment is spacious, clean, and very well-kept. The very best part of everything is the host, Lorraine. She was so helpful and informative and just a joy to be around. I plan on coming back next year for jazz fest!
