You can see from all of the other reviews that Charlie is the best host you could hope for. Available and communicative. The space is clean, has great light, good beds, and, important because we visited in summer, excellent air conditioning. The location is fantastic if you love music. Stumbling distance from Frenchmen Street. If you are in NOLA to listen to music, you are about as close as you can be to the highest density of music in the city. This space is funky with antique furniture that has character. All of this said, there are a few "heads up" I would give. New Orleans charm is it's age so be aware: It's a 3 floor walk up in an very old building. That is an advantage for the view and to get you above what can be an active street scene with night clubs. As others have written you are on the busy edge of the funkiness that is Frenchmen Street and that might not be great for the faint of heart. There can be a fair bit of people hanging out in the neighborhood as you would expect from a hot spot location like this so on occasion we had to ask folks to give us a chance to get to the front gate. Once inside and upstairs, the apartment was an oasis. Charlie has also informed us that he is about to renovate the kitchen so it's only getting better. Thanks so much Charlie.
