After your enter the atrium of the building and climb a set of more newly built and then original stairs to the 4th floor you reach an old wooden door without a lock which is essentially the entrance to what was likely an attic.
As you open the door you find a pleasantly surprising large room with a full size bed, mini fridge, desk, couch and on-suite bathroom. Additionally there is central heating and air with your own thermostat and beautiful views of the city and Mississippi River.
The pictures of the bathroom don't do it justice. The flooring is heated and the shower is a large walk in space with a rainfall spout above.
This was a gem in a quiet and hip neighborhood within a brisk walk towards Frenchman St or the French Quarter. Moreover, there were great other hangouts in the Bywater that I would have recommended exploring as well.
Keeping my fingers crossed with the hope that Kate's studio will be available during my next trip to NOLA.
