Highly recommend - walking distance to all major attractions in French Quarter. Stylish and practical. Communication is clear. Only one thing worth keeping in mind - if you come with a lot of clothes or stay very long our apartment did not have a closet and had only minimal storage space. We rented for three nights so it did not matter and could have been that our unit is for short stays.
I enjoyed staying here! This was
My first time staying in the French Quarter and had access to so many restaurants and bars. The condo was very spacious, 3 bedroom and 2 bathrooms. It’s a beautiful space and was big enough for my siblings and I to have our own rooms. All of the appliances were up to date and functional. There is easy access to an elevator if you’re unable to go upstairs. Another plus is having a bar downstairs. I highly recommend staying here.

The apartments themselves are clean and up to date. The only down side is if you arrive earlier than 4 you do not have access into the apartments and have to pay extra if you would like to get in by 2-3. There is also no where to store your luggage safely if you choose not to sit and wait for access into the apartment’s and choose to leave and visit the city in the mean time… so that means you either have to wait a few hours in the lobby/waiting area or you have to lug your baggage around till then. Other than that it’s a wonderful location and close by to most areas people would like to visit. Very walkable.
The apartment we got for the price for our family of 4 was more than spacious! Beautifully done up and decorated - with a happening bar downstairs. My only complaint is the walls are thin so every night we could hear the people upstairs like they were running or walking inside our room. Woke us all up. Otherwise great apartment we called home for 4 days in a central location from the French quarter and canal street.
Hotel is very close to Canal and Bourbon street, coffee/cocktail bar in the lobby, clean, big and had everything we needed.

Absolutely Taken Advantage of!!
Unfortunately we were extremely price gauged due to the Superbowl. The pictures listed online were so far from what the property actually looks like in person. There was vomit on the elevator rug when we arrived and the hallway is overpowered with the smell of pinesol… we feel absolutely taken advantage of for the price we paid for the weekend. We assumed this would be a fun vintage/modern suite and in actuality, was an old building cheaply converted into used and abused motel quality rooms at best. I never complain, much less leave bad reviews, but this was such a scam and absolutely disappointing experience I felt compelled to speak up so others don’t get swindled to stay here!!
Great location , very clean and very easy to access!

Super Bowl trip
Overall experience and location were wonderful. However, needed dressers and/or storage, couch super uncomfortable (needed pillows), need to be aboe to wat h local programming- streaming doesn’t cut it! On a positive note, loved the access to extra accoutrements like TP, etc. right out in the hallway.
Great location, very comfortable! Nice coffee bar/ bar on first level.

It was an okay stay. 1. There was a huge construction in front. It wasn’t noisy but it was inconvenient as you have to walk around the construction. 2. The locks don’t work 100%, it finicky. 3. One of The rooms was not cleaned. They refunded the early checking hut it was such a hassle.
4. Pillow was too thigh. I had a neck and shoulder pain and the pillow wasn’t restful.
5. Chairs and tables were not stable.
6. Sofa was not too stable. It kept moving on uneven surface of the floor.
Suggestions: consider adding a full sized mirror in the bathroom or any area.

Birthday celebrations.
I stayed to celebrate birthdays within my family. The location was close to restaurants and attractions. We were 2 blocksaway from Bourbon Street. The living space was clean and spacious.
