This apartment is in an amazing location! The neighborhood is quiet and elegant. We found parking right in front every time. 2 Minute walk to Gris-Gris for dinner, Saint Bar for live music and late night drinks. 10min uber to the French Quarter, 15mins to Frenchmen Street.
The building itself felt safe and secure, double keyless entry with long term renters on one side and airbnb guests on the other. I felt safe about leaving the dogs in the apartment when I needed to and that there wouldn't be too much activity to make them bark or cry, the second floor was great for that, and I think the neighbor uses his own entry, not the hallway entry. The backyard and patio were also wonderful spaces to hang out with the dogs and the mosquitos were surprisingly mild compared to Houston.
This restored old building is full of charm, the creeky hardwood floors make it a bit difficult to sneak to the bathroom or kitchen at night without waking your partner though, and you can literally hear someone fart in the airbnb unit downstairs. I think the back bedroom is above their kitchen because I was woken up by conversation about stirring butter in the grits and I kind of wanted to go down and knock and make friends. Did I mention how friendly New Orleans is?!
Amazing communication and hospitality by the host and his team, I will absolutely be staying in Samuel's place again on my next visit!
