1 block off the parade route, this was a terrific location. Also, because it was on the north side we didn’t have to cross the parade in order to get to the French quarter or the lakeside. The place is large and relatively new. We especially appreciated having the washer/drier as well as the iron and other amenities. The host was very responsive and aware sometimes even before we were of problems in the building. One, a malfunctioning key pad was fixed instantly (very impressive) but other problem involved another resident of the building which will take longer for them to fix.
Our biggest challenge was that we had a car with us and had to arrange for parking for 4 days. As a result, the total cost was perhaps even higher than a hotel would have been.
