I suggest taking a taxi from the airport to the place. Only $20 ($18+$2 tip) versus $24 for the shuttle.

Please note that you are sharing a bathroom with the other guests. The bathroom on the 1st floor was my favorite. That being said, I would go to CVS up the st (10 min) walk and grab some toilet paper and hand soap so you'll have your own. Also people are gross, so just be aware that sharing a bathroom can be a annoying.

I loved the location, we literally walked everwhere! 10 mins to the river walk or the French market. 15 mins to cafe du monde. 20 mins to canal st. The location saves you a lot of money you would've spent on taxis.

The room can get really cold! There are 2 fans, but i think the windows don't close all the way because it would be really stuffy if they were closed. I really like the sitting room separate from the bedroom. Gives a bit of privacy and space from who ever you are sharing the room with. It was a really pretty room with plenty of outlets and comfy furniture. There is no cable on the tv, which kind of sucked. Bed was super nice and huge! 3 people could fit lol there is also a sofa bed.

Noise is to be expected since you are literally across the st from frenchman. I highly suggest ear plugs. Did the trick for me! Also you can hear everything next door, upstairs and outside, so if you're looking for a quiet getaway in new Orleans, this may not be the place for you. But if you're looking for a place within walking distance to the best of New Orleans and don't mind noise or a shared bathroom I say go for it!

Safety: I never felt unsafe. They have a pin pad to get in the building and another to get in your room. When walking home just make sure to take frenchman st so you're not walking on the warf side which is super deserted.
