The best thing about this condo is its location. You are within walking distance to the action but not right within it so you have a quieter place to call home. However there are dogs next door who bark a lot at certain hours (not managements fault) so it's not completely peaceful.
The condo itself was pretty rundown and could use some TLC. The linoleum floor felt old and sticky and the whole place had a slightly dank/basement smell which is probably because it's the ground floor, gets no direct sunlight, and due to New Orleans climate will therefore be a little damp. Perhaps a humidifier would help. I think a few area rugs would too. Or new floors.
A couple other things - noticed what appeared to be black mold in one of the bedrooms which aggravated my friend's asthma. I alerted management and they sent someone 24 hours later to look but said it wasn't scrubbing off the wall so therefore was not active mold. I didn't think the assessment would be so simple but I'm no expert.
They plan to treat and repaint anyway so hopefully this won't be a problem moving forward.
The bathroom has some issues too. The window doesn't close all the way so in high mosquito season this would be a problem. This also allowed the dog noise to easily spill into the condo. Also, the cold water handle in the shower was broken. I saw a review from before our stay that it was broken and management's response was that they fixed it. They had not fixed it because it was still broken for our stay.
We did end up in a hotel for one night to be away from the dogs barking and the damp smell of the condo.
We would not return here and couldn't really recommend it. Our friends rented the condo upstairs which was better smell-wise and had nicer hardwood floors.
