Our family visited New Orleans for Christmas and we stayed at Lauren's apartment. It is located on the 2nd floor where the 1st floor is a store run by the host. In general, we really enjoyed our stay!
Great things about the apartment:
1) It is a very nicely decorated and cozy apartment! We all love the decoration. In the living room there is a notebook with all the notes by the people who have stayed there. It is very nice to read it!
2) It is very clean and fully functional. The host provides enough things in the apartment: spices, cooking appliances, towels and showering essentials, etc. It is even more convenient than a hotel.
3) Check-in and check-out are super easy. Lauren is very helpful and replies in 20 minutes.
Neutral things about the apartment.
1) The location is just fine. It is located in the lower garden district, which is close to both garden district and french quarter. It is on the streetcar line so it is convenient to take public transit. But if you want to walk to either district, it takes at least half an hour and the streets are not well paved to walk.
Not so good things about the place:
1) There is a 24-hour bar right next door. It is super noisy during the night, especially in one of the apartment. We stayed there during holidays so that might be the reason. I guess it will be better during weekdays.
Overall we all like the place and I definitely recommend it! Since it can be noisy sometimes, I don't think it is that family friendly. But we still enjoyed our stay! Thanks, Lauren!
