Overall good value location with all the basics—I would stay here again. Perfect location for me as I was attending a conference at the convention center (less than 10 minutes walk). Of note, I walked everywhere: WWII museum (right next door), casino (15 mins), French Quarter (25 mins), Superdome (45 mins).
The neighborhood — the place looks sketchy on the outside being right next to the highway (two abandoned cars with parts missing right at the entry gate). With that said, there’s no highway noise to deal with as the building is pretty insulated and I didn’t feel unsafe walking around—just practice common sense. Local restaurants must-try in the area: Magazine Pizza (same building) and the Butcher.
The host — I didn’t meet Dev as we communicated via phone—check in/out was easy via lockbox and host was responsive .
Transportation from the airport—I took an Uber to the property and it was approximately $52. On the way back to the airport, I took a Taxi and it was flat fee of $36 to the airport for up to 2 people or $15/pp if more than 2 passengers. So Taxi is also an affordable option depending the size of your party.
