Initially, there was a disconnect. While the listing mentions that "maps of parking garages will be given upon check-in", I did not realize this meant NO direct parking was available, period. I simply thought it meant additional travelers may need to park elsewhere. When I texted the property manager about where we should park, he responded with "a parking garage, lol". However, not being from the area, I felt the parking garage info could have been sent ahead of time for coordination efforts. We were able to find a last-minute parking alternative ($70 for the weekend), and Uber ($8) to the destination (a walk would have been doable, but we opted not to due to luggage quandaries).
We stayed in the "The Palace Suite". The space is gorgeous, with two beds and a trundle couch. There are not separate rooms, so you should expect to commune closely with those staying with you. This "studio" feature was not obvious to me from viewing the listing.
A relaxing courtyard waits just inside the main door. It's a stone's throw to Bourbon Street and The Clover Diner was just up on the corner: 24 hours and perfect for hangover grub or quick, simple nibbles. The people-watching from this location is spectacular.
About 3 hours into our arrival, we discovered we had no hot water. I texted the property manager and he immediately dispatched maintenance. The issue was cleared up in a handful of hours. Correspondence was immediate and helpful.
We had to suffer through the CONSTANT slamming of the front gate as occupants came and went. Our room was just inside the gate, so when the gate slammed it sounded like a car had hit the side of the building. That was not great. It did make sleeping a bit of a challenge. I wouldn't advise this room if you're a light-sleeper.
All of that said, overall, our NOLA2018 stay was clean, courteous, entertaining and worthwhile. #NOLA2018
