Overall, we enjoyed the apartment. It was truly a 5 star place. It was very clean, well appointed, the hosts were great...just like what the other reviews said. BUT...being completely honest...the place had a little roach problem. We killed 8 roaches of various sizes and varieties over a 2 day period. You could tell that the apartment had been professionally treated, because the roaches were "sick" and easy to kill. Joseph was apologetic, and provided us with bug spray immediately - but blamed summer in New Orleans as the reason for the problem. We live in a hot/humid southern climate as well, and know that roaches can be a problem, but can also be professionally controlled. I was very hesitant about even mentioning this because everything else was absolutely 5 star, but this problem impacted our ability to truly enjoy the space and sleep without fear of something crawling on us or into our luggage.
I am confident that Joseph will address the problem, and assuming that this issue is resolved, I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again while visiting our daughter at Loyola or recommend it to a friend.
