The plunge pool was completely unusable when I stayed. The water was black and had maggots and the stench from it was foul. Other than that, it's uptown, about a 15 minute drive from the French Quarter. About 25 minutes using public transportation. 45 minutes if you include waiting for the bus. The restaurants near the stay were fantastic. The water pressure and heat were fantastic. Shower-head was adjustable and detachable, but might not be great if you're very tall. Kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. Bed was very comfortable. Everything was very clean and overall the stay was very lovely. The atmosphere was great. I am sad I was unable to use the pool.
