Top floor apartment with nice views, in a great location, just one block from Canal Street and multiple streetcar lines. It's a one bedroom, one bathroom, typical of modern condos. While the apartment itself is a modern remodel, the building dates back to 1952, and apparently used to house offices and hotel rooms. The exterior of the building is nothing special to look at, but the lobby is nicely restored with its 1950s vintage elevator bank, and the upper floors were all renovated at some point. The building has 24/7 security in the lobby, with security camera monitoring for all common areas.
Having read prior reviews of this apartment before deciding to book it, I will touch on the topic of street noise:
You *can* hear some outside noise. But I feel the earlier noise complaints were overblown. Then again, I live in New York City, so hearing some outside noise is not uncommon in my life. The windows appear to be original to the 1952 building. They don't open at all, and are thin. There is a hospital a few blocks away, so it wasn't unusual to hear an ambulance siren once in a while. But it in no way affected my sleep, or my enjoyment of the room. The apartment faces west above a one-way side street which isn't too heavily trafficked. It's not like you're on Bourbon Street or anything of the sort.
The apartment is quite spacious, and the kitchen should have everything you may need. Should you need anything else, the hosts are very responsive. My biggest complaint was that the shower was a bit dark. There's also no bathtub in this particular unit. If you're traveling to New Orleans during the hot season, the air conditioning is EXCELLENT. The wi-fi was also superb.
All-in-all, a great option in a great location.
