This place is really nice, and even better/bigger than what I was expecting from the pictures. The exposed brick is gorgeous and I had so many friends/family comment on it who saw pictures/videos of it. The place has everything you need, fully stocked kitchen, dishwasher, in-unit washer/dryer and even a nice little outside area.
One thing you should be aware of is that you will have to pay for parking. They recommend a nearby lot where you can park all day for $25, however there are ways to park for as little as $10 a day. Street parking is paid from 8am - 7pm each day and costs $3/hr. What you want to do is make it into one of the cheaper parking lots at 8am where you will pay $10 or less for 10 hours of parking, and move your car to the street at 6pm (you only pay for 1hr of parking and leave it there all night til 8am the next morning). There is a lot right next to the property that you can pay $10 for 10 hours of parking (note that it is closed on Friday!). It’s called PMSI parking and to get there instead of turning left onto Perdido from carondelet, turn right onto Perdido and the lot will be on your left. There is also a GoPark lot that will only cost $7 if you get there before 8am and you just have to leave by 6pm. So if you use this lot youll only pay $10 for the full day! ($7 for lot and $3 for 1hr street parking from 6-7). This lot is somewhere around Carondelet & st. Joseph. Basically turn onto carondelet from st.Joseph and drive down, the lot will be on your left and you should see “EARLY BIRD SPECIAL $7”. Just make sure to get there before 8am! It will require walking about 5 mins to get back to the sextant so usually I would just use the closer lot for $3 more and use this one on Friday when the other lot was closed. The other lot might be closed on Saturday too but I’m not sure as I mostly explored on weekends and went to different areas. Also ALWAYS PAY FOR THE STREET PARKING AND MOVE YOUR CAR BEFORE 8 - it does get enforced and I got a ticket at 8:03AM on my second to last night :/. Only $30 so still saved way more by doing this strategy than what the ticket cost but just be aware you do need to move your car before 8am there is a chance they enforce it (I got away with it a few times moving at 8:05 or 8:10). Anyway hopefully all this info is helpful to someone else who is staying long term and wants to pay as little as possible for parking.
