The location is perfect for walking around the French Quarter and as a home base for cabbing/Ubering or using public transpo to other parts of the city. The apartment was clean, true to the description/ photos and the AC window units blew cold and kept us comfortable. Other folks have mentioned construction and there was a work site set up but I think we lucked out on coming while they weren’t active, so the noise was never an issue for us.

Communication with the hosts was easy and met with quick responses. We met with Vince when we arrived and he gave us a tour of the apartment and told us several times to let he or Lyle know if we needed anything.

There’s a beautiful plant lined corridor and courtyard that you get to walk through when you enter and exit and the balcony is narrow but a nice place to sit and catch a breeze in the morning or late afternoon.

There are a lot of unique touches to the apartment that you wouldn’t find at a hotel like the art and the cabinet in the bathroom which the hosts have stocked with basically any toiletry item you might have left behind. The bed and sheets are also insanely comfortable.

This isn’t the W and if you’re a certain type of person, you’ll be really glad of that.

(And as an FYI I didn’t smell anything funky in the hallway or the apartment. And the staircase is definitely steep so if you’re coming or going in heels or intox, I suggest taking it sloooow.)

Cons: It’s an older place so I get it, but the sink is one of those with separate hot and cold faucets. Not a huge fan of that.
The couch is pretty hard but you’re probably not going to be sitting around very much inside while you’re there so not really an issue.
