The apartment is in a great location for accessing St Charles Street and trolley (a short 2 blocks) and easy access to most of what a tourist wants to see and do in New Orleans by short car ride. The neighborhood is not upscale and streets and sidewalks are in terrible shape. However, it is also walking distance to 7 or more restaurants. I recommend Lula (brewery and southern food) and the two Mexican restaurants. The apartment itself looks very New Orleans outside with its columns and inside with its high ceilings and tall windows. The queen bed is comfy, appliances new, Keurig and drip coffee maker, large screen tv, and nice bathroom with connecting doors between the two identical bedrooms. One downside is that the smell in the hallway before coming into the apartment is unpleasant. We had quiet upstairs tenants so no problem there. But definitely can hear all steps creaking above.
Erich is a very responsive host. He managed to get the apartment ready for us a little early due to our early arrival. Recommend if price point and location work for you.
