The property is as advertised. Everything is new. Even with six people and only one bathroom, you make adjustments, because you cannot beat the price for the location. You are one block from the WW2 museum. You are one block from St Charles Avenue where the Mardi Gras parades occur. You are one block from Lee Circle where you can board the street car for a ride down St Charles to the Garden District.
Lyft and Uber in New Orleans are great. However, if you do bring a car, there are places to park. As stated in the listing, the WW2 museum deck is open 24 hours, but is pricey at $40/night. We parked there one night, but opted for the parking across the street under the highway. We had no problems...just don’t leave anything in your car as temptation...use common sense.
As for the “sketchiness” of the area...there are some homeless living under the highway overpass, but not right by the Tise building. We never felt unsafe, but I can imagine that some people might. Just use your best judgement and be aware of your surroundings as you should in any large city. Don’t be a tourist.
Having stated that, you have three layers of security to your condo. There is the outside gate, the front door and your condo door. All doors have a security lock or key. Again, we felt very secure.
Finally there is Michelle. She is great. Very accessible and quick response to any question or issue. En route to NO I had to order something and have it delivered to our destination. She received the package and placed it in our condo. Terrific service.
I would recommend this property to anyone who would like a great place to stay in a city with lots to do.
Thanks Dean and Michelle!
