This little condo has all the little extras that one would expect to find in a hotel room or regular guest cottage: plenty of clean towels, professionally-sourced linens, soap and shampoo, hair dryer, ironing board, and so-on. It was clean and updated, and we did not feel as if we were staying in a stranger's personal space. This unit is on the ground floor of a six-unit building, and the gated courtyard did an excellent job of insulating the front door and porch area from local foot traffic. I was able to communicate effectively with Kirk via text message before and after our stay. The location of this condo is PERFECT for walking around Marigny and the French Quarter without being in the chaotic, noisy epicenter, and there are many good local coffee shops, a Food Co-op, and bars within just a few blocks. The next time I'm in the area, I'm going to see if this is available and book it again!
