This is a lovely place - lots of light (but comfortably cool even in August); very clean and well kept, furnishings are simple, comfortable, and stylish. Kitchen is well equipped. Perfect location - 10 minute walk to Frenchman (with a half dozen live music venues); a block away from Mardi Gras Zone (funky all night grocery); right above a wonderful bagel/coffee shop. Short walk to interesting restaurants covering a range of price points from N7 (high end) to Horn's and Bywater Brewery. Parking was never problematic - I could always park right under my window but in any case, the neighborhood itself is quiet and pretty safe (usual cautions apply, of course).
