I’ve stayed at many places in New Orleans and this has been the cleanest one. The building itself was quiet and was close by to the area we wanted to frequent on our visit. My only complaint was the wifi. Wifi wasn’t important to our trip since we spent most of our time on the streets but when we wanted to come back and relax and watch a movie we were not able to do that on the provided tv. Other than that I would definitely book here again in the future.

Our favorite part of our stay was the location to Bourbon St., Canal St., and the French Quarter. That was great. As for the place itself, there was an awful smell coming off the elevator. We would hold our breath until we got inside our unit. The unit lacked that homey warmth. There was a dirty rug that made the place feel dirtier than it actually was. Sofa was definitely not comfortable. But again, location was great. For the price and location we enjoyed our stay, although we will probably try finding a comparable place/price in the same vicinity for our next visit before booking here again.

This is a very comfortable apartment with a great vibe!!! The washer and dryer and dishwasher are nice touches but it took time to find the laundry pods and dishwasher pods—under the sink. It was probably written somewhere but I didn’t see it. More than 3 hangers would’ve been nice in the closet but I made due. Great shower!!!! The ceiling fans made everything comfortable.
“The Ruby Slipper” a favorite New Orleans breakfast restaurant is across the street, Mother’s restaurant is about two blocks away and the streetcars are just around the corner. A corner store is a hop, skip and a jump away for cocktail and snack needs.
The bed has a foam mattress — which I am accustomed to — and is very firm at first contact. Lay down and give it a few minutes to form around you. I slept very soundly and woke rested.
I really had no reason to turn on the television so I can’t comment there.
I owners were very attentive via email and I really couldn’t have asked for more. I would definitely stay here again. :)

Through little-no fault of the property managers/owners, I can’t give a 5-star review. Everything was perfect with location, cleanliness, security, ease of check in/out, and did I say LOCATION? The unit was spacious, clean, and had laundry in the unit!
The things that weren’t good were how loud it was trying to sleep on a very uncomfortable bed. The older building had older windows, which is part of the ambience, but it was loud! We stayed from a Wednesday through Monday and the loudness was worse on the weekend. With Magazine St. being a seemingly more busy street than others and closer to the river, sirens, honking, train. screaming people, and trash go all hours of the night. Again, it’s part of the “experience” of New Orleans and ambience of the older building that some might not be bothered as much as we were.
The bed was very hard and uncomfortable, but we managed. We didn’t call to complain or find resolution…it was a mattress. All the good definitely out-weighed the bad.

We enjoyed our stay... Just me and my daughter came for VB tournament. The place is really nice, spacious, great area, walking distance to everything. Coffee/filters included. Very secure with outside door code then room code.
Very loud.. but then again it’s New Orleans, they never slept. I would suggest a sound machine.
-The bed squeaks like crazy.
-The futon/couch is very uncomfortable.
Looks good, but not comfy.
-Rooftop is not what the pictures portray. Great little area, just needs to be cleaned up.
I would stay here again… it's a great loft

The condo building was a good concept and great location. We enjoyed being able to walk to just about anywhere. Never had a car and never even needed an Uber. The unit itself had some flaws. Kitchen was great but we never really used it because its New Orleans and eating out is a must. The biggest issue was the bed and sofa. Not comfortable at all. Big need of an upgrade for both. The two things that would get used the most were sub par. Struggled to get a good nights sleep for 5 nights. My concern going in was the water pressure because of previous reviews. Not an issue at all. The restaurant across the street Ruby Slippers has the best breakfast I have ever had. Went 4 times. Go early because the wait time gets crazy the longer you wait to go. We loved the place but it needs better sleeping conditions.

Great apartment - but extremely loud area
Apartment was as described! Very easy to navigate and check-in/check-out we’re a breeze.
The ice and water dispensers on the refrigerator need servicing. The water filter needs to be replaced and I suspect there is mold in the ice dispenser.
The windows are very old with a very bad seal, and sound travels through them from the street very easily. There was loud construction and other public works projects taking place on the street corner just outside. Loud noises on the street woke me throughout each night even though I wear earplugs to sleep.
Very loud area.

Great location, location, location. Wish there was more water pressure, or any water pressure.
The rooftop patio would have been nice if the furniture wasn’t broken, and the damage was repaired. The stay, overall was wonderful.

Great location
It's a nice place to stay. Walking distance to everything. If I had to grip about anything it would be the very very low water pressure in the shower and the coffee pot doesn't go with the maker.

Security of room
The type of lock seemed to lock on its own, however it didn’t. We found out accidentally on our own. Luckily we did cause we had a good amount of cash in our room. There was a beak in two floors above us. There should be a note on the back of the door or something. Everything else was great.

The location was fantastic we could walk everywhere within minutes. We had a problem with the neighbors being loud and management took care of it right away!! The only cons were the bed was not comfortable and if you have a car parking can be tricky and get expensive. I would totally stay here again!!!

This left is in the perfect location. Its beautiful and well kept inside. The courtyard on the roof is amazing and perfect for drinking your morning coffee while listening to the city. We really enjoyed our stay and cant wait to go back.

Awesome place-I'll never stay in a hotel again in New Orleans. One thing-it can get active at night in that area.

Clean but a bit noisy
Clean. A bit Spartan. There is a very noisy warehouse right across the street- they start work quite early. But the place itself is nice. The large window is a little drafty. We had a nice stay there. Be aware no parking comes with the unit. This means that one must use either expensive or inconvenient (or both) street parking.
