The location of the apartment was wonderful. We brought our two children and it was nice to be able to walk to different kid-friendly places for meals. We did hear quite a bit of street noise. Since it was mentioned in the House Rules, we brought along a little white noise machine. While that helped, there are some small tweaks that could help mitigate the noise. For instance, one of the windows in the main living area didn't latch. I tried closing it a number of times, but some time later it would be open again. As others have mentioned, the shower curtain situation could use some work. I wasn't sure how to position it to avoid having water splash out either the front or the back. Having so much curtain floating around and sticking to them also terrified my kids. Bath time was not the relaxing time before bed we were hoping for. The apartment was clean and the furnishings were cute. Having a small kitchen and washer/dryer was a god-send. Overall, a nice place to stay while in New Orleans.
