We stayed here for a week of vacation visiting New Orleans. The place was as described and a comfortable place to rest and relax when not in the downtown area of NOLA or sightseeing. This apt is the top half of the home where Mel lives with her family with a private entrance and our privacy was well respected. There is some noise from their home but minimal and was never late at night or early in the morning.
It's a no frills place but quite accommodating for a week's stay. Grocery store (Save-a-Lot) and Dollar General were within in a few blocks to meet basic needs for the stay.
There was an issue with the washer and dryer but we knew in advance that it may be a problem and were offered by the host to wash some laundry if needed. We made due with what we had, however it should be addressed for future guests.
The kitchen could have some improved lighting to see when using it. Adding a light switch at the top of the stairs would also be beneficial when exiting the apt.
The location of the apt was located within a diverse neighborhood and within walking distance to public transportation. We utilized public transportation for the week's stay and occasionally used Uber as well. Once you figure out how to use the buses and streetcars, getting around is quite easy and very inexpensive.
We stayed as a family of 3 here with my daughter sleeping on the futon/couch. We would return here and stay if we decide to return to New Orleans for a visit. I would also recommend it to others making the venture to NOLA.
