I would definitely stay at Merchant Lofts again. The location was prime for getting around in New Orleans. The district is definitely noisy at night but we made do. I had a couple issues that I had to address while I was there that were minor and Merchant Loft was super responsive and helpful. The only negatives that I would have is that the bed and couch were pretty uncomfortable and the walls are super duper thin. I could hear what was going in units around me easily. We made it but a new mattress and couch would not hurt in the unit I rented. I felt safe at the property and check in was easy. For the price and location I would definitely recommend Merchant Lofts if you're looking for a place to stay in New Orleans.
