Summary: The place was beautiful and had everything we needed for a great stay. We loved the provided water, coffee and creamers to get us through the first day or so. The building itself was easy to get in and out of and was in a phenomenal location to walk to all the great New Orleans attractions. Barbara, the property manager was beyond helpful in every way. Will stay again!

Summary: Spotless and ritzy and great bang for the buck. Famous and not-so-famous but nonetheless excellent restaurants in every direction within a 10 or 15 minute walk. Property manager - Barbara is her name I believe - was delightful and rightfully proud of the building and the units she manages. As others have mentioned... some mornings... there is an ungodly racket that goes on for several minutes around 6AM. It probably will wake you up. I got up and investigated: there are small wheeled dumpsters in the narrow street (Picayune Place) behind the building. Guess it's too narrow to drive a garbage truck there - so the sanitation workers wheel them to the truck for pick up at the nearest corner. It's blissfully over after five or ten minutes. It is what it is. I suspect that similar street noises would be present just about anywhere this close to or within the French Quarter. Don't know if I'll be spending much time in New Orleans again any time soon but if so, I'll be checking out this unit's availability before worrying about staying any where else.
