We love spending mardi gras in NOLA. And we travel a lot. I always read reviews to help me find the perfect getaway. I wanted to write this one to hopefully help others find theirs. We were excited to find this Sonder property on Canal Street. Here are the pros: It is in a centralized location, easy to get to French quarter, Bourbon street, and warehouse district etc. Check in and check out were Super easy. The 2nd floor condo we stayed in was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. Sonder was very responsive through the app and I will likely rent a Sonder property in future. CONS: The hot water was only warm (and sometimes less than that). The air conditioning didn't seem to be working in the bedrooms but worked very well in other rooms (bedrooms slightly warm so we turned down air to try to cool them so we were a bit cold in parts of condo). The biggest issue we experienced was the music from the restaurant directly downstairs from the condo. We were on 2nd floor and the music was very very loud and plays pretty much nightly until 5 am, and one night until 8 am. It is no exaggeration to state that one or two nights of our stay, our floors were vibrating with the music after 1:30am. We had ear plugs and phone sound machine noise and these did not drown out the noise. Suggestions, if you rent and are on 2nd floor, bring a fan, a sound machine AND ear plugs but it may not be enough to let you get to and stay asleep if the volume of noise isn't addressed. If staying here, as anywhere, be aware of your surroundings. There was ALOT of traffic in front of condo at all hours (we were there during a busy week). I wouldn't recommend walking through the alley way next to the next door market as it appears to have little to no traffic, a lot of construction, and appears there would be concern for safety in alley (but it is NOLA so one should always be aware of surroundings) . So all in all, a beautiful condo with big windows in living room, furnished with what you need, responsive hosts, but with some issues you may want to consider as they could affect your stay.
