We loved the uban environment of this apartment. The space met every expecation and exceeded in making us happy. Loved that it is not overly decorated and everything feels new, not shabby or worn down. Felt like a swank corporate city apartment rather than someone's home which is what we sought. The location is the absolute best thing. My husband and I booked this place to visit our college son at Tulane in the Uptown neighborhood which was easy to get to via Uber/Lyft. What's nice is you can wait comfortably upstairs and then quickly meet your ride when it's nearby. Though the street car would normally be easy to use to head Uptown/Downtown, the rail system is under construction nearby so the street car wasn't running past the Garden District. We would have had to catch a bus to the current start of street car service in the Lower Garden District which was not for us. But using it to come back from Uptown was easy since a bus waits at the end of the street car to pick up passengers to continue their trip downtown. This was especially helpful when we got stranded Uptown during peak hours 5-8 pm when we simply could not book any driver of any kind to take us anywhere including private limos. Fortunately, the streetcar solved our problem and got us back to the Warehouse District with enough time to make our dinner reservations nearby.
The only possibly negative thing potential guests might find helpful to know is that amplified exterior sounds intruding in the quiet enjoyment of the unit might be a downer for some people but that's how it would be in any restored loft-like urban space with hard surfaces throughout. The urban 15-foot ceiling feel with exposed brick is the main appeal of this property and we expected that it would come with the sounds of an apartment in a city. You might hear plumbing, above neighbors' footfalls, door closings, voices in the entryway hall, plus outside weekday construction noises from the nearby development project. Sound sensitive guests should bring ear plugs and pop them in before retiring if they anticipate that this could disturb them. It definitely should not make anyone pass up this terrific property because the whole experience is really that extra. I wish all air bnbs offered this level of quality. Will definitely consider staying here again.
