Joe’s place is very charming! It was exactly what we were looking for this trip to NOLA. The unit is well maintained and still retains classic old style charm. There is a great, busy bar across the street but street noise across the street is minimal. (Although we do live in NYC where we are used to much louder streets—I thought it was peaceful here). There was some roof construction going on during our stay, which was only a bit annoying when they began hammering away at the roof at 7 am on weekdays. The location was great because you can pretty much walk everywhere around the city. Only caveat might be if you’re very tall, you will have to duck in the shower. But my boyfriend is 6’4 and he managed just fine. You have to remember people used to be much shorter! Overall very great place at a very reasonable price.
