Red Streetcars travel along Canal Blvd. from the Mississippi River out to City Park. The streetcars are cash only, unless you buy a pass. The Hop on Hop off tour buses circulate around some of the more popular areas of downtown and offer pickup every 30 minutes. The Algiers Ferry is a fun way to get across the river.

My wife and I stayed for a week and had a great time. The apartment is well-cared for and a fun place to stay. I was able to easily chat with the property owner while I was there to organize late checkout. I'd definitely stay there again.

We really enjoyed our stay in the condo. This was our first time staying outside of the French Quarter. This condo is very close to the Quarter as well as Canal and Poydras Street so you have lots of great options for restaurants. The condo was quiet with the exception of when trash pick up occurred in the alley behind the building however that typically happened around 8am so it didn't interrupt our sleep. The bedroom and bathroom are spacious. Lots of counter space in the bathroom. Condo was clean and we will definitely return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Proximity to many destinations a real plus - no need for a car. The only negative is pre-dawn noise in the alley behind the building.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this property so much for our New Orleans vacation! It is so close to the French Quarter without being all up in the action. It was easy to walk everywhere we needed. Communication with the property management was clear and the instructions for check-in and check-out were easy to follow. The condo was clean and stock with a few complimentary essentials, which we appreciated. We’d definitely recommend this spot for anyone looking to be near all the center of the city while still being able to get away and relax at the end of the day!

The location was perfect! It was walking distance to the French Quarters. Barbara the host was extremely accommodating and helpful. The condo was super cute and had just about everything we needed. My only suggestion would be a few more towels for guest staying several days.

Everything about our stay this past weekend was top notch! The booking process, the customer service, the condo itself, the location, the check in/out process…was seamless!! I have stayed in many vacation rentals, but I have NEVER encountered such informative, knowledgeable and friendly service from the owners/agents like I did with this rental. They really know how to serve! Now the condo itself is AMAZING! It’s in the best little spot! Parking is available (~28/day) in garage directly across from the condo. Cheaper than valet at the hotels. The condo was SUPER clean! Super modern! Provided everything we needed for the long weekend stay! Complimentary beverages in the fridge is an impressive touch!! The bed was comfy. The ceiling fan in the bedroom packs a punch and we even talked about wanting to get that exact one for our son’s bedroom! The best part of the bedroom is how dark it stays in the morning with no outside windows in the room!! Very little noise except for a few times people coming and going in the hallway, but not at all a bother. Nothing obnoxious like we experience when we stay in hotels. Very safe around the entire area…we walked everywhere! Amazing cafes within walking distance. Caught the trolley just a couple blocks away one day. Super easy walk to French Quarter, Jackson Square…riverfront. I honestly can’t say enough good things about this place and the agency and I will recommend it to any of my friends when they want to visit NOLA!

Great location, easy check-in, clean, cute condo, good comminication with property manager, nice kitchen. Unfortunately, we could hear all the neighbors through the walls and the alley was very noisy pretty early in the mornings. The furniture (including the bed) were really uncomfortable and meant 6 restless nights of tossing and turning. My biggest suggestion would be to upgrade the mattress, couch and table seating for a more comfortable stay.

Great condo, good location.
One feature you need to change is the TV set up, you need to put local channels on the system. Watching 40 year old Price is Right is not good, the movie we’re old. Pay the extra money and get local channels.

Luxury amidst history
Our stay was perfect. Beautiful condo steeped in history, with unique details to bring the theme to life. The location was very accessible to the French Quarter and Central Business District. It was close to the action without being right in the middle of it. Other attractions just an uber ride away. Great service from the property managers. I would highly recommend and would love to stay here again someday.
