Charlie was a very good communicative host, despite being out of town. The key was left for us at a music shop around the corner, and Charlie gave photos and a hand drawn map of the building to show where the apartment was.
The the location is awesome and the interior is spacious. It is definitely well lived-in, don't expect the Ritz Carlton, but I can't imagine a better deal in NOLA. Expect some noise at night - it's right above Checkpoint Charlie's and close to lots of bars / venues. We were out late, so we mostly outlasted the noise, and it didn't bother us since there's something nice about falling asleep to the music of New Orleans. I'd recommend this for a group of friends, a bachelor party, or anyone looking for a big space to use as headquarters for their New Orleans adventures. Thanks Charlie!
