As a party of four, we had an unpleasant experience in our unit From the trash/dirt at the front door that I had to sweep away, to the moldy/mildew smell in the unit and the bugs we encountered, it didn't warrant the amount of money we paid. We left after one night of a three night stay. Although listing stated it was in French Quarter, it was still a little ways out.
It was a gated place, however I would suggest you ask for pics of the front walk way and living room. Walkway was filled with condensation from the air conditioners of the neighboring building so there was some water buildup along with trash and sticks that we had to walk through and around.
