Samantha's place is ideal for exploring New Orleans. It is located 15 blocks from the famous French Quarter in a nice residential area. The bus stop is only one block away and will take you to the French Quarter for $1.25 (No. 11) The WWII museum is within walking distance and very good. There are two of Emiril's restaurants within a 7-10 minute walk. You can also catch the St. Charles street car if you walk 5 blocks. St. Charles has plenty of restaurants also. The apartment was a lot larger than we had expected. It was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. (Can't imagine cooking in New Orleans though). The hot water and AC worked great. The WiFi usually worked fine, but, we had a few days where it was slow. The washer/dryer was a real plus. Check-out the "The Tasting Room" it's only a block away and the food was very good. We would stay again !
