If you are look for an authentic New Orleans French Quarter experience without the traditional "hotel" stress this is your spot. It feels like your own apartment right there in the historic FQ. The building definitely old but it feels so homey and if you request a room on the front you have balcony access which a personal New Orleans must have for me. It's not on Bourbon street so you get a more residential feeling yet you are literally blocks away from the party and of course you have the foot traffic going by. Also, a little fun fact is... I did over hear a tour guide say this building used to be a "brothel" and the building next door was a morgue. It's a GOOD place to stay IMO.
