Jeanne was a great host – she embodies southern hospitality. Weeks before our trip, she inquired how we liked our coffee so that she could make sure to have the right milk, creamer, whatever available. Our flight landed at MSY airport at 10pm, and when we got to the Trois Soeurs just before 11pm, she was patiently waiting outside the building to welcome us and give us a brief tour. As a New Orleans native, she’s also a great resource for answering questions regarding the area. Based on her recommendation, we purchased single day Jazzy Passes for the RTA streetcar ($3/day) since the streetcar stop is literally a block away on St. Charles Ave/Louisiana Ave. This saved us from having to rely on Lyft to get to the French Quarter. When it came to checking out, Jeanne was very flexible. Due to our late-afternoon flight, she allowed us to stay a couple hours beyond the 10am checkout time, and she also gave us the option to store our luggage even longer in the locked laundry room.
The unit itself is spacious, clean, and well-supplied with towels, toiletries, etc. There are two keypad-locked doors to get into the unit – one for the building, then another for the unit itself – so we felt very safe during our 4 nights there. The neighborhood in general is safe and mostly quiet, but since the Trois Soeurs is directly across from a hospital, you will get the occasional ambulance sirens. The location is great overall – it’s just 1 block south of the St. Charles streetcar line (as previously mentioned) and 4 blocks north Magazine St. We would definitely consider staying here again for future visits to New Orleans!
