Holly and Andy are great people. They’re friendly, helpful and responsive, and they live in the adjoining unit, so they’re available.
The unit is a real New Orleans experience. It’s a shotgun style apartment, well maintained and occasionally upgraded. It has charm and, as the building is over 100 years old, it has quirks.
Pros: great location, less than two miles from Jackson Square. Everything was as expected and as it was supposed to be. All the kitchen and bathroom fixtures worked properly. Water was very hot. Internet was good. The newly installed modern HVAC system worked perfectly. Mattresses are good. The unit is spacious, especially the large kitchen/dining area. The wall between the two units seems thick, as I didn’t hear any noise coming from their unit. The on-street parking was adequate. There are supermarkets reasonably close. For walkers and joggers, there is a greenway four blocks away and City Park is close by walking/running standards.
Cons: they’re not cons, they’re quirks!
The HVAC takes a minute to start up, and the hot water needs a minute to work its way from the hot water heater to the faucet. The neighborhood looks sketchy at first, but it’s fine. I did a lot of walking and running in the area.
For one person, a couple or a family, the apartment is fine for extended stays. Otherwise, the shotgun layout gets old after a few days.
Overall, highly recommended.
