Location is fantastic, courtyard is nice and cool. People do swim in the pool. There is a reception with a friendly, helpful person available most hours of the day. Our space was clean and perfect for our long weekend.
Our studio was a good size about the size of a standard hotel room, with a few more kitchen appliances than usual.
We were able to walk around the french quarter with ease from this location, and found it to be quiet and peaceful at night.
The only con I could think of is that we were staying in a third floor walk-up.
