Greatly enjoyed our stay here! Funky/Rock n'roll vibe that fits perfectly in the Frenchman /New Orleans scene. Lots of room to spread out-we had 6 in our party. Loved the projector for bingewatching Netflix the one nite we stayed in. Convenient for wandering the Frenchman club scene and the Quarter is an easy stroll. Charlie is an excellent host--always within reach if you've got a question--certainly knows his stuff when it comes to suggestions on eating/drinking in the surrounding area. A breeze to work with!
Charlie's penthouse is located on the third floor of the building, and there is no elevator. So, if you do have a problem with stairs, not recommended. We just looked at it as a bit of help in working off all the great food we'd snarfed down on our trip to NOLA. Yes, you can hear the bands playing late into the night (one reason we DO enjoy being here!) But, for those requiring a bit of quiet during their downtime, both the a/c and the white noise machines provide a buffer.
Our group, 2 teens, 2 20 somethings, and self/husb in early 50s loved the laid back, casual, rocknroll decor. If you prefer a cookie cutter, standard hotel accomodation, then please stick with that, though. For a place that exemplifies what we love about NOLA, Charlie's penthouse is that!
Again, great host and great set up, particularly for the city of New Orleans! Do keep in mind that this is an old city with exceptional charm. So much of its appeal lies in that "decadent and decayed" atmosphere that you just can't find anywhere else in this country. Will most certainly try to stay at Charlie's place again!
