If you’re looking to make the most out of New Orleans’ famous French Quarter, this modern apartment just a five-minute stroll from it is an ideal base. Filled with light thanks to the living area’s large windows, you can soak up that Louisianna sunshine from the comfort of the sofa – a cold drink in hand – or while gathered around the dining table over a homemade Southern feast.

Better yet, head up the building’s communal rooftop terrace for a sundowner while admiring wide-sweeping skyline views or while away an evening in the shared games room where foosball, pool and air hockey tables await. Active types will appreciate the on-site fitness centre here too, though, with countless cultural hotspots on your doorstep, we suggest a walk around town to liven up any day.

Ride down Canal Street (a three-minute walk away) in one of the city’s scenic streetcars or make a beeline for buzzing Bourbon Street packed with restaurants and bars, a seven-minute stroll away. Alternatively, walk twenty minutes to the Steamboat Natchez Riverboat dock for cruises down the Mississippi River or make a beeline for Jackson Square, also twenty minutes away on foot.
