The best thing about this place is definitely the location—right on Bayou St. John, very short walk to City Park, and easy bike ride down Esplanade to the French Quarter.
There a few drawbacks. The most obvious being the very low ceilings. If you are 5’10” or taller, be aware that you’ll have to dip your head at certain parts of the apartment. Another drawback is the very loud church-bell next door that rings at 6am and again at 7am every morning (at least every morning we were there). It will probably wake you up! The last drawback is the lack of good lighting. There is only one lamp in the place, so you’re stuck with the harsh overhead lights. A few more lamps would do wonders for this space.
Overall, if you are just looking for a place to rest your head, have a hot shower, and keep your beers cold while you enjoy the city outside, this place does the trick. The host was very responsive and helpful, and we had a great time.
