The Persimmon Trail

This contemporary apartment blends style with practicality, making it an ideal choice for a chilled out break in New Orleans. Exposed brick walls and large sash windows evoke industrial chic, but this home certainly isn't old fashioned – there's all the modern amenities you could think of, plus a fully equipped kitchen with that all important coffee-maker to start the day. Better yet, the home has some fantastic shared building facilities. Kickstart the day with a workout in the high-tech gym, and catch up with some work in the lobby lounge. There's also a bar for chilled evening drinks – but why stay inside when there's so much to see in the city? Your apartment is just a short walk from the French Quarter, where you can fill up on tasty Creole food, catch a jazz band, or just people-watch while sipping a cocktail. For those looking to explore some history, it's just a ten-minute walk to the National WWII Museum.
