Annie’s place is conveniently located in the central business district just two blocks from Canal Street. This puts it within easy walking distance of the French Quarter, the restaurants on Magazine Street, and the waterfront. Others have commented on noise, but we didn’t find it to be noisier than other big cities. (We were there long enough to learn that the garbage truck comes through at 4 a.m. every Thursday.). Although there is a bar next door where people sometimes congregate on the sidewalk, it didn’t appear to be too raucous nor did we feel unsafe.
The building has a secure entrance accessed with a key pad, and Annie uses a lockbox for her keys. She sends the information for both before you arrive making arrival and departure very easy. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, this would be a comfortable place for two couples. Also, the washer and dryer makes it ideal for stays longer than a couple of nights.
Finally, I was impressed with the cleanliness of the bathrooms and the fact that they were stocked with basic toiletries. There was even enough coffee in the kitchen to keep us going for a couple of days. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
