If you're looking to be surrounded by drunks, vomit, the stinch of urine, loud noises in the middle of the night, blaring music coming from across the street until 5 am, dirty floors in your room and cold water for your shower, this is the place for you. If you need to sleep on vacation, want to have a shower that you can regulate the water temperature, have clean floors and not smell vomit and urine when you walk out of your hotel every morning, stay elsewhere. I get that this is an old house, but I live in a large house built in the 1800's. I wasn't expecting quiet but I was expecting something better with the 4+ stars review on this place. This place is not worth the money, unless you just want to party on Bourbon St and stay in the French Quarter. You'd be better off staying off of Frenchmen St so you can still walk everywhere, be close to the French Quarter, be surrounded by authentic jazz music, and still stay in a quiet neighborhood. I'm giving this place 2 stars instead of 1 star only because you do have a semi-private balcony overlooking the street and another one overlooking the courtyard. But it's only semi-private. You share them both with the people beside you. Obviously, I would not recommend staying here. You can find better especially for the price.
