We (my girlfriend & I) stayed at Via's place for 4 nights over the 2020 New Year. We really appreciated being able to park in the driveway. Additionally, the apartment felt very private since it is at the back of the house with a wood fenced yard surrounding the backyard. It seems like previous complaints have been addressed as far as noised, as I noticed that Via had a white noise machine & earplugs for light sleepers. I am a heavy sleeper and especially after walking around town exploring so much and frequent imbibing, we didn't have any trouble sleeping at all. The space is decorated very nicely with lots of interesting art pieces and the high ceiling in the room and bathroom really make it feel open. We'd love to stay here again when we are in town.
This apartment is close to St. Charles (which you can take the trolley down to the French Quarter for $1.25) and the Magazine Street district. We really liked being able to get a coffee down on Magazine Street and walk around the Garden district nearby. Additionally we were able to get a reservation at Commander's Palace for lunch (book at least a few days in advance). Everything was delicious, the service is top notch, and it was actually reasonably priced during lunchtime (especially factoring in the 25 cent martinis).
