The property is a lovely new-ish one bedroom apartment built on top of the garage behind the main house. Access is through a separate entrance on Thalia St. Check-in is easy, with a keypad with an access code.
The apartment has a spacious living area, with a couch and a TV. We didn't use the TV, but it looked like it had Netflix and other streaming services. The kitchen adjoins the living area and has a large fridge, full stove, and microwave, so it is easy to prep meals or heat up leftovers. The bedroom has a door, so one person can be up while the other stays asleep. Note that the bedroom window faces east and the blinds do not block the morning light, so bring an eye mask if you are sensitive to this.
The bathroom is connected to the bedroom, with a shower and tub. Water pressure is on the weak side, with the toilet taking maybe 15-20 minutes to refill. Shower pressure is light, but good enough.
All the main areas and surfaces were clean on arrival. Some secondary surfaces (e.g., display shelves) had a bit of dust on them, but no big deal. Despite cockroaches running around on nearby streets, we had no unwelcome guests in the apartment for a week. No bed bugs too.
The location is great, being about halfway between St. Charles and Magazine, just south of the Pontchartrain Expy. Within 15-20 minutes you can walk to the main part of the Garden District, the CBD, and Warehouse District. The French Quarter is more like a 20-30 minute walk, but still very doable. Although it is easy to walk to some of the great restaurants in the above areas, it is worth nothing that there are some good places just blocks away. French Truck Coffee has great hot and cold brews and we bought their beans to make coffee in the apartment every morning. Barrel Proof is a nice place for a drink before heading out or heading in. Fat Boy Pantry has a tasty deep fried lobster po-boy. We also eyed, but didn't get to try The Bower and Birdy's Behind the Bower. The location is also fairly quiet at night, though there is a bit of traffic noise in the morning.
Mike was a very responsive host, responding quickly and helpfully to any questions or messages.
Overall, a great place to stay if you don't mind being a bit further from the Quarter.
