Hi! Mom of two here, reporting in on our experience at St. Charles Balcony Condo 2- Lower Garden District. At this time, I would NOT recommend this place for parents coming in for a visit. I provided GiGi with a handful of helpful ideas to make this a more family-friendly home and I hope she takes them to heart instead of feeling defensive. She's so concerned about controlling the typical partier coming into town, she's super unwelcoming to a tired family needing a some rest and relaxation.
I also felt very "watched". She lives on the property and while I appreciated her providing us with cereal bowls on day two of our stay, they just sort of let let themselves in whenever they wanted, conveniently when we were not there instead of waiting until we got home and just treating us like humans that deserve privacy by knocking on the door before doing anything. It was super uncomfortable. To feel like we were "big brothered" (with someone coming in and turning off lights we accidentally left on - which happened) while on vacation is WEIRD.
Also: we left 3 bibs that my kids use daily and she just threw them out. No message to ask. Just disposed of our belongings... So unthoughtful, I'm honestly hurt. Families beware (for now).
