If you think you are renting from homeowners you are not. This is corporate rental. The late check-in (4pm) is to get a $35 fee to check-in at 2pm. Do not pay the fee until you know your condo is ready. They will not refund, even if you wait nearly an hour for the room. The location is walking distance to Bourbon Street. Definitely, is noisy with trucks and commercial activity but didn't really bother me. My unit was not as clean as it should have been. I ended up washing everything my first night because the bedding had stains. Also had to clean tub, floors and sinks due to finding hair on surfaces. If it didn't have a washing machine I would have requested another unit.
