My trip consisted of five sorority sisters needing a place to crash for Mardi Gras, so of course we needed the balance of being on a budget but not wanting to suffer. This place provided all of that. All of the comments about the noisy overpass right outside your window are unfortunately true, but being someone who needs white noise to fall asleep I truly didn't mind it.
As for the comments about it being a sketchy neighborhood, we had absolutely no trouble walking to and from the place every night to partake in festivities. The neighbors helped us get into the complex when we were having trouble with the gate. Stay on the right side of the overpass and you're good to go.
I would call Jose an exceptional host. He messaged to make sure we checked-in okay and even came right away when we told him a remote control for the parking was broken to replace it. He also kept in touch with us throughout the trip with suggestions of parties and parades to go to, and I really appreciate that since it was our first time in NOLA.
The only tip I can give for potential guests is that you will not be able to do extensive cooking. There is a microwave and stove and oven, but no pots or pans or cooking trays. We only had a few frozen meals so it wasn't an issue, and you should probably go out and experience the local food anyway.
Thank you Jose for making our Mardi Gras stay comfortable and stress free!
