Finding Asia's place in NOLA was a real GEM! It's was as stated walking distance to the French Quarter.
The Place
Beautifully decorated and expresses the heart of New Orleans charm. I loved the stained glass lamps and the bowls filled with beads. The bed is incredible and so comfortable beyond!! It's amazing to come
home to after being out and about on the streets in NOLA. There is a Keurig with coffee pods available!
My friend who stayed with me said the pull out sofa was extremely comfortable. Very spacious and welcoming. There are really cool historical photos on the walls along with amazing art as well, which I love!! The door entry pad was very easy to use and I felt safe. I loved the shutter doors and also they can be latched closed at night which gives you that extra security.
Location:
It's off a busy street but it didn't affect me much although the soundproof isn't that great. For a historical building I expected that and being in NOLA I was expecting that city feel which I love personally. There is some development going on in some spots but it's on a very pretty street. Starbucks is a couple of blocks down as well as a whole foods. Also there is a Family Dollar nearby which was perfect to buy some beverages and snacks for your stay. Asia has ice trays filled as well. A couple of blocks down I found a great coffee place, one of the few open very early called Envie. They have everything including a full style breakfast as well. After you can take a walk a block away to the French Quarter Market. I found the most beautiful mask there!!
Parking
Great parking in front of the building. If not available, you can drive two blocks down, make a right,
and there is valid parking on the left side of the street. The next morning all of the spots were open
and I was able to move my car and leave it there the entire weekend.
Transportation
United Cabs was a great suggestion by Asia and was cheaper at times than Uber. If you need to go in the heart of town and come back late, Uber is pricey after a certain hour. They are not allowed to drive on Bourbon street. If they make you meet them a specific pick up location, and it's not convenient you can request that they pick you up where you are. However, i would make it easier and meet them where it's not hard for them to find you or get stuck in a grid lock of traffic.
Asia was very easy to communicate with and very pleasant to correspond with. I would definitely stay again. I really loved and enjoyed it here.
