We brought a large group of volunteers into town for Hurricane Ida relief efforts down in Galliano and Cut Off. This was a great spot for our group of 10! It is a third floor unit, so do prepare yourself for that. We came down with trucks of supplies and didn't feel we should probably leave them outside so we humped them up the stairs. The stairs are nicely spaced with landings and wide though! With the work we were doing we didn't get much opportunity to enjoy the pool but it did look lovely! The beds were wonderful and super comfortable. In fact, we delayed leaving on the last day (were planning on 5 a.m.) just to let our tired backs take in the beds a tiny bit longer. The bathrooms and showers were all very clean and well-appointed. The refrigerator was large enough to handle a longer stay for a larger group. Great kitchen if you were going to cook meals there (but really, it's New Orleans, why would you cook for yourself, the food is amazing here).
Neighborhood looks slightly sketch on first inspection but we had no issues at all. There is a homeless camp a few blocks away under the bridge and a meal distribution site a block away but literally everyone we encountered was super friendly. No one gets up real early down here so don't plan on the 7 a.m. opening time for the coffee shop across the street to be accurate! It was a quick and cheap Uber ride to the Quarter for dinner or any of the nonsense there you'd like to participate in. Also a quick ride to the airport if you're coming in that way. Parking is on-street parking but we didn't have too much trouble finding spots for 3 cars.
This is an absolutely stunning restoration of an old building so if you appreciate architecture and preservation, you will love staying here just for that factor. The old buildings of New Orleans are fascinating and it is just awe-inspiring to stay in one with these incredible tall ceilings and rooms that go on forever!
