To start with some great things, Sonya’s place is beautiful, the beds are a dream, and the decor is so charming. She’s quick to communicate with and the couldn’t have made the check in process more easy. The apartment was well laid out and spacious for our group of 9.
It’s really important to know for people coming here though that this is nowhere near the French quarter, as the headline of the listing states. It’s a solid 35 minutes to walk to the Trolley and ride it downtown, or a 12-15 minute Uber. The only things in walking distance are a Waffle House and the VA hospital, although one could walk to a trolly stop maybe just 7 minutes away. If you come to this home, plan on either having a car or spending plenty of time and money on transport.
We were a work group, so it also would have been nice to know there were other renters downstairs. They had loud parties and fights through 4 of the 5 nights we were there so getting a good nights rest for our work group was hard. As an owner I know you don’t have a lot of control over that and it is New Orleans, but making clear in the listing that it was a home split with another rental would be helpful for people choosing the right location for them if that’s important.
Overall we enjoyed the home itself but were really disappointed by the inaccuracy of the location description.
