My husband and I traveled for work and pleasure to New Orleans and stayed at Mint House. We had a nice stay and enjoyed being close to everything but yet, far enough away from the crowds of the French Quarter. We were able to walk everywhere and enjoy all that New Orleans has to offer. My only suggestion for those who are light sleepers is to consider the fact that the Mint House is a converted warehouse so plumbing is exposed. In our unit the pipes were unfortunately in the bedroom. I was up in the middle of the night due to loud water noises from toilets flushing and showers running. For those who could sleep through anything, you may not have an issue. For those who are light sleepers like me, just know this going in.
