The penthouse is an EXCELLENT choice for staying in New Orleans. I'm a very seasoned AirBnBer. Yes I thoroughly read all reviews and carefully weigh my options. Well, the penthouse is a 5-star choice! Checkin was simple and easy, since my flight from NY arrived earlier than expected, the owner arranged for me to leave my luggage so I could begin my exploring of the neighborhood. Bourbon St was a 4 minute walk, literally this units location is centrally located to all of the best restaurants, bars and shopping. Canal street, buses and street cars (Trolley) are right around the corner. Frenchman area was about a 7 min drive at most, super easy to Lyft or Uber. We also visited the mall which was also about a 7 min drive. Excellent! The penthouse itself was clean and offered everything I needed. The views of the city was beautiful, so was the rooftop views. Since I was there to vacation I didn't spend alot of time in the penthouse but definitely felt like coming home after a day of exploring the city. There was noise during the day and night here and there but nothing at all terrible. At all. There's a washer and dryer in the unit which was awesome. Plenty of towels bathroom and shampoo dispenser in the shower. I'll definitely book the penthouse on my next visit of course, if its available. Thanks for making my birthday weekend stay in NOLA perfect!
