We loved our stay at Heirloom. From the outside looks like a closed down warehouse/office building. The inside was extremely nice! Plenty of space for all of us and room to spare.
The actual location in relevance to getting around was great! A hop, skip and jump to Ceasars Dome, Bourbon Street, French Quarters etc. About a 20min drive to/from airport.
The location was close to what many want to see and do, the part of the city it is in is a little sketchy. There is a homeless camp just up the street which at night you can see the rats running around. On one occasion as our group left the house, a black lady with Black Power sign started screaming at us. Yelling "White Mob", over and over. She ran and hid behind a nearby tree. Oh and there where signs talking about lynching (wth) so wrong.
Parking was not as plentiful as suggested. With the location I wouldn't want to have to walk at night especially alone to find a parking spot. Other than that the house and proximity of address was great!!
If I were to plan a trip back to New Orleans (which we won't..it was a 1 and done) I would consider the Heirloom again. it is a awesome house.
Why 1 and done?.. Sadly my sons girlfriend was robbed on Bourbon Street which is full of trash, drugs and homeless people. A young homeless lady who had a German Shepherd assaulted my sons friend then took money from his girlfriend. Thankfully we all traveled together in our group of 11 as she didn't get to far. We won't go into details, but will say we got her money back! People gathered around with phones recording a d saying things like we were assulting a homeless lady (okay whatever, give her your money) We reported to the 4 officers who were standing in the middle of the road a short distance away chatting and snacking (no wonder the crime is out of control) who said oh we will talk to her. No report, nothing they just walked in her direction. We just shook our heads, laughed and went on out way.
Oh we also learned one more very important thing while there. Do NOT cross street when cars are coming on time to walk is ready to expire. It is true...drivers will NOT slow down and will hit you and continue on as nothing happened. We had a call to close and were SHOCKED!!
**HEIRLOOM was the best, just the city is filthy dirty and sucks.**
