Recently stayed here for five days including Mardi Gras Fat Tuesday. Aside from the steep stairway leading up to the second floor we have nothing but positive things to say about this unit (we are in our mid-60's so maybe not an issue for younger renters). The location was a block away from the St. Charles parade route, but still quiet enough for those who prefer to be away from Mardi Gras madness. Free off street parking was a major plus for us. Host was very communicative - Would definitely rent this unit again when visiting.
