Buchi was very accommodating with our check-in. Since we were travelling by car several hours away, this was important and definitely appreciated. She met us right outside and showed us the apartment and welcomed us to the city, giving recommendations and reading materials for the area! The place was very nice and clean, and we had our own private bedroom. We liked being able to make coffee and watch some quick news in the morning. We didn't get to spend much time on the patio, but did check it out and it was great! There were other individuals staying in the apartment at the same time, and although they were very respectful, our bedroom was off of the living room and noise/talking was very easily heard, but it was rare! My advice to anyone travelling by car is to park in one of the parking garages on the street in back of Buchi's building. It was about 20$ a day, was extremely convenient and close, and was the best we could find. The location was close to many bars and restaurants and was very convenient. Buchi again accommodated us at an early check-out and met us at the apartment to collect the keys. I would definitely check Buchi's place out again when I'm back in NOLA!
