I highly recommend this residence for any type of visit, business or pleasure. The best aspect is the location, as the Uptown and Garden districts represent the real NOLA, whereas the riverfront and French Quarter will be overcrowded with only tourists. There are about a dozen restaurants and cafes in walking distance, as well as a Whole foods in an old trolley barn with parking. Even with all the businesses on Magazine, the neighborhood is totally residential and safe with 100+ YO homes that have all been renovated. The neighborhood looks just like it did in the 50’s when I visited my grandparents as a kid.
The description of the apartment in Abnb is very accurate, the bath rooms both have new fixtures, and the kitchen appliances are also new. The coffee maker is a French press, so be prepared. The apartment is in the rear of the building with two businesses in the front including the Yoga studio. It is very quiet. The climate control systems in the living and bedrooms are located high on the walls against the ceilings and are very quiet and efficient. Don’t worry about the heat. The entrance is via an alley on the side that is well lighted at night with a motion sensor. Parking on the street can be a problem when the studio is open, but you can always find a spot around the corner on Webster. My wife has a handicapped tag, and walks with a cane, and we had no problems. Overall, a very nice accommodation that we will try to rent next time we visit.
