The location is perfect, right off from canal st. 4 min walk to bourbon street. Everything you need in reach. The apartment is spacious. My parents had an airbnb in the same building and they place was tiny. And yes you can hear the traffic and noise outside. So if you are a light sleeper this will bother you but if not you’ll be fine. Would definitely stay in this exact apartment again. I would suggest for them to just remove the carpet in the bedroom and update the couch.
