This is a great apartment/suite in a beautiful big, old house about a mile walk to the French Quarter. We walked it a couple times and it was a nice walk through historic neighborhoods with cool New Orleans houses to look at.
The space is really nice and nicely designed. The bed was very comfy. The kitchen had all you need if you want to use it. We liked that there's a balcony to look out over the yards and see the city somewhat. The blinds were useful and easy to adjust. We didn't have noise issues because the HVAC fan was loud enough to drown anything out when we had it on.
I didn't get to meet Brandon, but Truedell was very helpful and knowledgeable. She gave us some suggestions for things to do and where to eat and was always quick to respond if I had a question.
Potential cons:
- The couch pullout bed was difficult to pull out because of the couch frame. It also sagged in the middle, but since my kid slept on it and he can sleep anywhere it wasn't a problem for us at all. If you have only two people you'll be fine because the bed in the room is really comfy.
- You have to go through the house front door to get to the stairway to the guest rooms/apartments, but the stairway is right by the door.
- Parking is in the street, but we didn't have a problem at all.
- The dogs at the house net door bark a lot. If you can't have the HVAC fan on, use a white noise app for sure.
Overall a great experience and if we head back to NOLA one day we would definitely consider staying again!
