Luxury and comfort in the midst of NOLA’s grittiness. We loved our stay! The neighborhood might look a little rundown, like most of NOLA, but once you enter you’ll find your own little oasis of clean comfort. (I would suggest giving your shoes a good cleaning on the doormats. I learned the hard way by slicing my foot on some broken glass we tracked in the first night, but after a good sweep and being more careful we had no more problems going barefoot. )
This is a great place to stay if you want the feel of a big city, which we did! The sounds of traffic across I-10 and sirens from ambulances and cops lulled us to sleep each night. We slept like kings on the firm memory foam mattresses, with the heavy black out curtains and ceiling fans making the space just right.
We loved the showers, the water stayed nice and hot even after all four of us were done. Cleaning of the day’s dirt and grime is a must.
While you might rarely cook with so much excellent food in walking distance, (try the snowballs with cheesecake right across the street!) this place has all the pots, baking sheets and utensils you’ll need for anything you might want to make. Not to mention the gas stove, oven and dishwasher. We appreciated the huge fridge and filtered water! Being able to use the washer and dryer halfway through our stay was very helpful.
When we needed new batteries for the remote control, they were brought to us immediately, and an extra blanket was provided. Great response to our needs.
If you don’t mind stretching your legs, we were able to walk from here to the French Quarter to explore both day and night. You can also easily get around with public transportation, and if you bring a car it’s nice to park under the overpass. Our car stayed high and dry after a torrential downpour.
We loved our stay here and would absolutely choose it again if we ever have the opportunity to return!
