This is absolutely an ideal place to stay and it will be even better once the trolley service and Canal Street is fully open. Currently you have take a detour and walk around a few blocks due to the Hard Rock Hotel collapse (the sidewalks and street are blocked off). We took the bus a few times in various part of the city because the trolleys weren't in operation in those locations - ride all day on the bus or trolley for $3.
That said, this apartment is an amazing value! Clean, spacious, quiet, private and fully stocked with amenities! The air quality is excellent. The Jung Hotel staff were very gracious and accommodating as well and we loved that we could store our luggage upon arrival for a very nominal fee of $2 per bag. Check out the player piano if you are there at Christmastime!
We loved the rooftop terrace with city view and small heated rooftop pool on the 19th floor, but the larger hotel pool on the 6th floor is also an option. There is also a gym on the 18th floor. Both the rooftop pool and gym are reserved for Sonder guests.
The Canal Street area with many of the larger and fancier hotels is very pretty at Christmastime. It's an easy and very scenic walk to Bourbon Street and the French Quarter. We didn't have a car, so we walked about six miles each day.
A few places worth checking out - Cafe Beignet (there are a few locations - the one at 334 Royal Street was an easy walk to our apartment), Roosevelt Waldorf Astoria (absolutely spectacular Christmas decorations and Monday night special of famous Carl's fried chicken and sides of red beans and cole slaw for $18.93 - piano bar), Capitol One building (largest real Christmas tree in the city), Happy Hour at Luke (oysters on the half shell for 75 cents each and half price wine and beer), Happy Hour at Trenasse (just across the street from Luke - we didn't get there, but they also have 75 cent oysters on the half shell plus other Happy Hour specials). There are also a few CVS and Walgreens nearby that also sell wine, beer and alcohol and a few grocery items.
