I recommend staying here.
I was in town for a wedding and had to make the decision between an Airbnb or one of the nearby hotels. We opted to stay at the loft and it was great. Stayers are less than half mile from the heart of Bourbon St but are insulated from the noise and action when they need to return home. Great restaurants and cafes are nearby. We were able to work from home one day (quiet, stable wi-fi, space to work, etc…). Everything we hoped for was covered.
One final note… the bed was very comfortable which was a huge plus after days of walking.
