This apartment is in a really great central location, which made it easy to walk to and from the French Quarter. However, it is in a crowded and dirty downtown area and this made night time walks a little uneasy, especially if you are a woman. This also means that at night when you go to sleep you will hear people randomly shouting on occasion, sirens, car alarms, and other sounds of the city. You do get kind of used to it after the first couple nights. If you’re someone that likes to sleep in quiet and in darkness, this may not be the place for you. The curtains barely cover the windows and the blinds don’t block out much light either, so you will have a room that stays lit by the city lights at night, and brightens up early in the morning. Bring earplugs and a mask if that’s you!
All in all the place was pretty clean, the doorman was always friendly, and it was decorated very cute. The furniture and decorations looked nicer than they actually are and are too cheap to withstand the normal wear and tear of a rental (things were hollow, wobbly, had no weight, etc.) the apartment echoed. BUT, the beds were very comfortable! Our host was responsive and checked in on us to make sure we were okay. Self check in was easy and everyone was kind. Again, it was an easy location for getting around by foot. It just wasn’t the best location and the unit could use a few updates to make it function and comfortable as nice as it looks in the pictures.
