Our stay in this apartment was wonderful. Perfect space for a couple - comfortable bed, spotless and beautifully decorated. The location is excellent. Quiet street and easily walkable to so many restaurants and shops. Also, super easy to get an Uber to go the the French Quarter or business district. We would absolutely stay here again.
Great location with great food everywhere and coffee only steps away, great communication, easy to check in and out. Bedroom had a great blackout shade on the window and the bed is very comfortable. I worked remote while here and sat at the kitchen counter on a barstool, outlet close by in that spot so it worked out just fine. WiFi stayed pretty good the entire time even when on meetings with video, only had to turn off video once due to a temporary slowdown for the entire week. Shower is rain style but very good pressure, and the water always warmed up nicely. Washer/dryer is in one so just a heads up as sometimes those struggle to dry things as well, turned out fine but figured it’s worth mentioning. We arrived during a very cold time and the split unit struggled to warm up the place so we were in our coats even inside, but it’s pretty rare to be that cold in NOLA so don’t fault the place too much at all for that. So happy to be able to stay somewhere with our two dogs as well and the space was plenty for them (65lb and 45lb dogs). The only downside I can find is if you’re a light sleeper you can hear all the footsteps and a lot of sounds from upstairs, sometimes even voices, and it’s especially noticeable in the bedroom itself which can be a rough combo when trying to sleep or napping. Not shocking for a classic NOLA home though, so earplugs are a must! Overall really happy and appreciative of this nice place. Would recommend staying here!
