If you have ever been up in the air about choosing an Airbnb vs. a hotel or traditional B&B, this place will seal the deal. It is one of the best set ups we have ever stayed in. The entire house is lovely and there are several apartments, some with different entrances so you aren't even aware of most of the other guests. It's very private and secure. The Royal Quarter apartment is everything it promises: simple, spacious and stylish, well appointed and comfortable and very clean. The kitchen is well stocked if you want to cook. And Thomas provides all the necessary cleaning products, paper towels and even coffee filters. Someone kindly left some coffee in the pantry thank goodness because we forgot to grab some at the store our first day! The gorgeous, bright bathroom has full supply of soaps, shampoos and towels. The shower head has good pressure (my husband is picky about this), make sure to find the adjustments for different settings. The bed is on the soft side for my preference but I tend to like very a firm mattress. The furnishings are wonderful with plenty of bureaus and closets. There are plugs on the lamps on nightstands on both sides of the bed to keep your devices charged! Wifi works great. The front fenced-in courtyard is a charming spot to discreetly sit and absorb the friendly neighborhood activity with coffee or a cocktail. There is also a small private patio in back. The location is perfect. You are literally a block from the outer edge of the French Quarter and two blocks from all the fun stuff on Frenchmen Street. It took us 10 minutes to the walk to the heart of the FQ and 20 minutes to reach the opposite outer edge. Great breakfast places within 2-3 blocks. The best nightlife and music at Cafe Negril and Spotted Cat also blocks away. There is a very lively local joint less than a block away but as the other reviews indicate, once you are tucked away in the apartment, we weren't bothered by noise at all even on Friday and Saturday nights. Thomas is a wonderful, responsive host. He gave us plenty of recommendations places to go. He even graciously accommodated our early arrival which gave us a full day to enjoy exploring. If you want to get to places farther out (Garden District etc) Uber was very reliable. Always came within 10 minutes. Took it to the airport too. No need for a car here! We rented bikes one day as well, a great way to get around. Treat yourself to a lovely way to enjoy Marigny and the French Quarter by staying here!
