I could not believe how QUIET this apartment is, given its absolutely prime location. We walked everywhere we needed to go, and the coolest parts of the French Quarter were visible from the cute balcony - the cathedral, the river, Cafe du Monde, Bourbon Street are all part of your view. The balcony is shared with another airbnb which wasn’t an issue for us, but if you each had groups expecting private use of the balcony, or if the other group was rowdy it might be a little awkward. Still, I’m confident that you wouldn’t be able to hear anything on the balcony with the bedroom door closed. We didn’t hear a thing from the street or our neighbors any of the five nights we were there. The place was very clean and well-appointed. Perfection.
