I really enjoyed my stay at Sidney's. I did not read the reviews prior to booking I simply went off of the pictures. The place looked as it did in the pictures. It was spacious and felt luxurious. There was also a small balcony that we were able to watch a parade from and open up for a fresh breeze which was nice. We rarely took a Lyft to a from our airbnb as the weather was warm enough in February that a 20 minute walk to the French Quarter was not an issue. The only downsides that I agree with the reviews below are regarding the linens of the place and it's location. The place could have been an excellent experience had the towels not been ripped and stained and the sheets on the bed also had a few questionable stains. Investing a bit of money into those small upgrades would've gone a long way and is something that is consistently in people's reviews. The apartment is also above a restaurant called Morrow's (which I ate brunch at and found it very good actually) and I suspect we were right above the kitchen. This meant we had to deal with a lot of noise during the restaurant's hours so something to keep in mind if you are a light sleeper.
