The good: The two bedroom apartment on the 2nd floor was perfect for our stay - in a busy location on the edge of the Quarter, on Canal. Walking distance to everything we needed, and a bodega downstairs for essentials. The A/C was crisp, and the full kitchen was great! The luggage storage came in handy - as was the option to check in early and out late for a small fee that was worth it! The cost of the apartment was very reasonable and we felt it was a good value!
What wasn’t great: Sadly, a few things like late into the night volume and early morning dumpster noise interrupting sleep every single day at 5am was a big downside. Noise is to be expected, especially in a city like NOLA, but soundproofing is needed. As other reviews stated, the warm water took a long time to heat up - thankfully in July we didn’t miss it too much - but the broken elevator on day one was also a let down as we had to haul our things up the long staircases. A few times the code for the door didn’t work, and we had to wait to be let in. And lastly, the chicken shop downstairs was cleaning their grills and the smoke set off the fire alarm at 7am, which meant the entire building had to evacuate until the fire department came.
There are a lot of great things about this property, but we definitely left feeling exhausted. I’d consider booking again in an off-peak time, or perhaps on a higher floor.
