The apartment made a fantastic base for our family of 8 to gather and enjoy NOLA.
There are many pros including:
- Beautiful apt.: stylist, well furnished, newish, ultra-clean
- Perfect location: to easily explore the city on foot and via nearby streetcar lines
- Nice building: feels like a real residence
- Good accessibility: this unit's on first floor with minimal steps to negotiate
- Great host: pleasant, very responsive, willing to resolve issues to ensure a good stay
- Well outfitted: well-furnished kitchen, washer+detergent, toiletries, etc.
- Comfortable: quiet street, safe area, bedrooms are in the back so very quiet, great beds+bedlinens
Nothing is perfect, but the downsides are minimal:
- Small-ish for 8 persons: fine if you like cozy or have smaller group
- No dining table: but the counter dining is fine (for 5)
- Street: no view, trashcans line the front
- Entrance: apartment's door is often mistaken for building door (so others will try to access it)
- Windows: lack of operable windows (but airy and has good lighting)
- Luggage storage: host will try to accommodate, but you're out of luck if the apt is being turned over
