We came to NOLA to enjoy the parades and festivities of Carnival and Mardi Gras. We stayed in the property for a week. It is an excellent location for walking to the parade routes, and the French Quarter. It appeared that having a car during Carnival parades and Mardi Gras is a huge hassle due to the demand for parking and traffic jams. We parked our car in a parking garage close by and we did not need it for the entire week. The property is in the city so we experienced typical city street noise but it was quiet at night in the bedroom. We were never awakened by street noise. The property is very secure with two locked doors that you need codes to get through. We were unable to use one of the codes to open the door to the property itself so I called the property owners and they were immediately available and were able to reset the code and give it to us over the phone. Very easy! We would not hesitate to stay in this property again.
