Great location just off the quarter, very walkable! Two couples were in our group so the two bedrooms and full bathrooms were wonderful. As with anywhere in NOLA being ear plugs, streets are loud. Again, this is not unusual for anywhere you would stay. I would stay again, great place!
My in-laws stayed in this Treme condo, while we stayed in the condo next door. So convenient to be right next to each other but have our own private spaces. Condo building is conveniently located just a six blocks from the French Quarter, so it was an easy walk or Uber ride anywhere we wanted to go in New Orleans. The condo is gorgeous, but more importantly the kitchen and bathrooms are well-appointed with anything you need. The mattresses are also good quality and comfortable. As mentioned in previous reviews, the location is right next to I-10 highway which is very loud, but we knew that beforehand and brought ear plugs for sleeping. The condo also felt safe and secure, with a locked outer door to the building, as well as locked front doors to the two condos upstairs. There is a really cool plant shop in the street level of the building under the condo, and we never felt unsafe in the neighborhood. We all enjoyed our 8-day stay, and it was a perfect home base for our NOLA vacation.
Great experience. The property is stylish, clean, comfortable, and spacious. Exactly how it was described and a perfect âhomeâ for our few days stay in NOLA. Will definitely be booking again!
The apartment is nicely remodeled and clean. It is a short walk to the French Quarter or several of the famous cemeteries. Directly off I-10 so there is traffic noise.
