New Orleans is a very specific kind of place with various types of neighborhoods. Michelles place is in The Frenchmen area, this used to be a quieter area than The Quarter/ Bourbon Street but its turning a corner toward just as rowdy and loud and the house is right in the action. Michelle was helpful and communicative. The place is cute, clean, well equipped and comfortable. Being an older building there is a lot of noise from the street and neighborhood. There is considerable noise from the unit upstairs and the parking lot next door. The house is an older shotgun style home, not a lot of natural light and thin walls, its straight up authentic New Orleans architecture which is cool, just be prepared with ear plugs and a tolerance for loud cars, loud neighbors and music. The area is gritty and diverse but safe. Thin towels, thin toilet paper, slippery tub, tiny floor mat, at $500 with fees, daily this could improve. You want to party, be close to loud action, this place is for you.
