My husband and I stayed at this apartment for five nights over the Christmas holidays. It worked out very well for us since we have family in Metairie. This apartment is one of four apartments which the owner, Brian, rents out. They are all part of his home complex, which is interesting. It was nice to know that the owner was right on the premises if there were any problems, which I"m pleased to say, there weren't. This apartment is idea for a couple to rent. It is clean and well appointed. I really liked having the washer and dryer. (detergent is provided) plus the TV set-up was quite good with multiple premium channels. This apartment was on the ground floor. We would occasionally hear people above us, but only in regular day hours. At night and in the morning, it was very quiet. There is a parking area immediately adjacent to the apartments, which is nice instead of street parking. It is a safe neighborhood, with a school right next door and the Winn Dixie within 1 mile. Also, a big plus for us was being able to walk three blocks to the Bucktown Marina path, which runs along Lake Ponchatrain. And, three great local restaurants are within walking distance: R & O's, Deannie's and New Orleans Food and Spirits. Within a very short drive is a local favorite, The Blue Crab. The only reason this lodging doesn't get a 5-Star rating is the comfort of the queen size bed. It was firm, but had minimal padding. We like firm with more cushioning. I think the photos shown on HomeAway accurately display the apartment. We are frequent visitors to New Orleans and hope to be able to stay here again.
