The most amazing New Orleans apartment! I was worried because there was only one review but I guess they just put the apartment on the market and the owner gave me a discount so I took the risk.
I have never seen an apartment like this! The wood paneling is so beautiful! The old tile. Two bathrooms. An actual steam bath that turns the shower into a steam room? The incredible beds! The king bed in the main bedroom is hand carved. The tufted bed has side mirrors attached. And the place is truly enormous with extremely high ceilings. Except in the one bedroom up the stairs in the corner (they said they built the room over a jacuzzi?). Anyway, that bedroom has very low ceilings. Still, there were 5 of us and we felt like we were splurging staying in such a ginormous apartment so close to the French Quarter.
It's such a strange, beautiful old place. The pictures really don't do it justice.
Entering the apartment is a little strange with the outdoor metal stairway. But it's easy and straightforward and keyless entry, which I definitely prefer. No need for lockboxes.
As I mentioned, the beds are amazing. There are also lots of very comfortable towels (I hate when hosts skimp on towels). Large television (I think 60 inches). Oh, and I appreciated that I could play my iPhone through the blue tooth speakers.
As mentioned it's a great location, just a block from the Petite Jazz Museum. Armstrong Park is just down the street. It says 3 blocks to the French Quarter but they're actually just half blocks or mini-blocks so the French Quarter is extremely close. A very short walk.
This was my best AirBnB experience, hands down.
