Location: Best you could ask for in the French Quarter. [think Bourbon / Royal / Dumaine] You're right in the middle of it all but surprisingly enough it wasn't loud at all in our room when we went to bed at night. 5 Stars
Parking: We drove to NOLA but parked at a friend's house so we didn't have to deal with street parking next to the unit. So- I won't comment on whether it seemed good or bad. I will say that Barrett left us clear and concise instructions on street parking next to the unit if we had done that. I'd recommend doing that or a garage or driving to the airport then uber.
Host: Barrett was very easy to get a hold of after needing a quick troubleshooting with the AC unit. He even gave us a pretty solid local recommendation on restaurants/bars/things to do etc. Hell he even gave us Zapps so that's pretty cool in itself. 5 Stars
The Unit itself: I stayed in Unit #4. Absolutely stunning and unique. You walk in from the entrance/street door and there's this gorgeous courtyard waiting for you. Very very cool. Go up the stairs and you'll find the unit. This once historical house has obviously been renovated to serve as a mini apartment. Well decorated and big enough for a couple [or maybe two if you wanna share the space i.e. 2 queen size beds and 1 pullout sofa]. It has a kitchenette i.e. mini fridge, stove and dishwasher. Balcony is very cool, furnished and overlooks the street. It's semi private in that you share it with the unit next to you but it's plenty big for both units so it's not like you have to stay in if they're out and vice versa.
The only downsides are the following: AC Unit and the mildew smell coming from the bathroom.
AC Unit: I understand this is an old place and followed the instructions of not setting it below 69 and keeping the windows closed, but even in March- it could barely keep up with the early spring muggy weather. I'm from Mississippi so I get it but it was muggy for March.
There's no way that it can keep that place adequately cool come summer months.
Mildew Smell coming from the bathroom: Again, older place and it's New Orleans but that has to be addressed immediately. Fortunately- It was just confided in the bathroom but it was terrible. Please fix that.
Overall this place was awesome and well worth the price. 5 Stars.
Thanks Barrett!
