Pearce's place is perfect for someone looking for a cozy spot to have some down time between various adventures in New Orleans.
A good thing to know is this is a place for a person or couple who want to explore and are willing to put the legwork in: the loft itself is accessible via a spiraling staircase, and it's about two or so miles to the French Quarter. Streetcars are a few blocks away, as are bike rental stations. If you find you'd rather Uber/Lyft to a staging point for your day, hailing a car never took me more than 5 minutes, no matter what time of day or night. (Quickly learned tip: if you're coming back FROM the French Quarter, for the sake of everyone's sanity walk four blocks or so west and THEN open your app; if you don't, prepare to wait 20 minutes for your driver to fight through standstills on Bourbon Street) A small convenience store is also just down the block.
For me the joy of the loft was getting back there after a day of the various things I did around the city, and being able to just make a cup of coffee and relax in a chair or outside in the quiet, enclosed courtyard. Be on the lookout for friendly dogs and kitties that stop by to say hi.
The host provides most of your basic needs, from towels to cookware, and even helped me out with some special requests.
