Wow! My boyfriend and I stayed here for two months - and through Mardi Gras. Our stay here exceed our expectations.
The unit is clean, lovely, and in a GREAT area. The neighborhood is charming. It's beautiful, quiet, but right on the street car line to get to the French Quarter, or a short walk to Magazine Street for dining and shopping. We felt really safe in this area. We particularly loved that the apartment has a private balcony facing the street and the neighboring church. We loved hearing the church bells on each hour, and sitting on the balcony watching the peaceful street (or the wild Mardi Gras parades).
This apartment was probably the best place we could have imaged staying through Carnival and during Mardi Gras. It's right on the main parade route, and we were able to view from the balcony. The parking is gated and you're guaranteed a spot during the parades (but I wouldn't recommend trying to drive during this time). It was honestly a hub for Mardi Gras celebration.
