We (2 middle-aged couples) loved loved staying here! The apartment has a perfect rock n roll vibe, in a fantastic location, and Charlie is an amazing host. Very welcoming, great advice (he also turned me on to some great stuff for a side trip to Lafayette). In one of the bedrooms you can hear music from nearby when bands are playing, but we enjoyed the serenade, even when we retired early. Of a dozen trips or so, this is the first time I felt like I was really *in* New Orleans, not just occupying a hotel room. It's an older building with some rough edges--pretty much the opposite of the convention hotels and not for everyone. But the description is very accurate and it is clean and comfortable (the beds are great, and lots of thoughtful little touches). We'll definitely recommend to friends and plan to be back!
