This is a really lovely two bedroom unit. Everything is new, sparkling clean and comfortable. It's in a good location to get to the fairgrounds or the French quarter or other New Orleans' sights. We felt there was just one drawback.
The location of the unit is less than 100 feet from Interstate 10, an elevated highway. Beneath the interstate is a major city arterial. Traffic noise in this neighborhood is pretty intense.
Also on Saturday and Sunday night neighborhood partying was very noisy during our stay. Apparently sports cars and motorcycles gather along the local arterial on certain Sundays, and there's a lot of engine revving that made it very hard to unwind after a day at jazz fest. If we had known , we would have definitely chosen another location.
New Orleans is a city and you can expect Urban noise in that kind of environment. I've lived in Brooklyn and Manhattan and I'm aware of acceptable noise versus excessive noise. At this location, noise levels were definitely up there, particularly on Saturday and Sunday.
We brought this to our host's attention on multiple occasions in the hope that the listing would be a bit more transparent and truthful. We expressed concern about the value when on two evenings we could not relax in the unit.
We did not walk away with the notion that they shared our view. Hopefully folks can be fairly warned.
As I said in the first paragraph this is a very lovely unit and if noise is not an issue for you you will absolutely enjoy your stay.
