6/10 Good

Location and communication great. Layout good. Plumbing fixtures loose. Shower doors leak. Cheap, uncomfortable furniture throughout. Neighbors upstairs from us had a melee with screaming, abusive language, and a lot of crashing around, on our first night after midnight. With no desk staff or security, we didn't know how to address the issue. Entry through the first floor lounge was a weird vibe. People hanging out at all hours it was open. That felt unsecure as well. Might be a New Orleans thing.

6/10 Good

The microwave stopped working but there was an immediate response on the app Chat and the was fixed. The number of bath linens was inadequte for a 3 bedrm. 5 person reservation, a chat brought more the next morning. On our 3rd and 4th night the upstairs apt. was very noisy. like someone , kids? running, banging well after 10:00 Pm quiet time. after midnight.one night. I was reluctant to report at the time fearing retribution (?) from the occupants. That is on me, so I would suggest other report this type of problem. The 3 bedroom 2 bath on the edge of the French quarter is hard to find and the cost was reasonable with a common area to spend time with the group.

4/10 Fair

College Dorm Vibes
Building front door and entrance front door won't work with mobile key, 2/3 beds without duvet covers, sheets pop off beds, broken table in living room, bottom floor frosted window doesn't block headlights when someone sits in their car for 20 minutes blasting us with lights at night. No mini bar or snacks per the listed amenities. Bathroom sinks trickle water out and faucets are too short. They barely make it into the sink, cheap toilet paper, low water pressure in shower, toilet base leaks, elevator broke and had to walk up and down Stairs with an injured knee to get to pool. No bathroom at pool level. Pool base is crazy slick and edges hot as hell. Pretty dangerous. Trex Boards sagging on pool steps. It sounded like someone was doing construction above us. Constant banging and clanking. Poor insulation on floor above with people stomping around. Every door inside creaked so loud. It would wake people up if you opened a door. Bed frames are high enough off the ground for stuff to go underneath, but it's really hard to get under to pull things out. Lack of luggage storage wasn't cool either. The pictures and the way the place is marketed make it seem much more luxurious than it is. I would equate the space to a college dormitory or a hostel. Overall not a great stay.

Great place to stay
The apartment we stayed in was perfect for our family trip. Just big enough for what we needed. There were a few hiccups in the beginning but everything was worked out and the remainder of the trip went amazingly. Although there is no front desk, the communication process was simple and easy. I will definitely use this company again.

Great stay close to canal street where you find a bunch of places to shop and eat nearby and far enough away from busy to enjoy a quiet sleep. Great communication by the staff. Only critique is the tricky front door. Once you figure out the push and pull after you enter the code your good to go!

Definitely will stay again
Well built solid building that is superbly located close enough to the French quarter to walk but not too noisy at night. The plunge pool on the roof is perfect to cool down in. App is great and comms was really good. Cafe/bar downstairs lovely and staff really helpful. Can’t recommend highly enough.

10/10 Exceptional

We loved the location and the space! It was walking distance from almost everything that we wanted to do! The covered parking garage across the street was convenient and not too expensive. The bar downstairs is more like a lounge and serves teas, coffees and breakfast croissants in the morning as well. We had three a bedroom apartment and it was comfortable, cozy. spacious enough, clean, and well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. There were no closets but hooks and hangers on the wall to hang your clothes. That worked fine for us. The bathrooms were up-to-date and there was an iron and ironing board in the hall closet next to the washer and dryer. In terms of value, we paid the same price as I would have paid for a Marriott room with two queen beds. This wss a wayyyy better choice for my family. I'll definitely look for this spot for any future trips to New Orleans!

Cockroaches, black mold and unkempt conditions ruined our trip and made us physically sick. I am requesting a full refund to my original form of payment. I am currently suffering from exposure to cockroaches deadly black mold qmd when I have enough energy to drive, I'm going to the ER.

This property gets a lot of things right but misses is on a few details. Amazing communication with staff and quick response on the chat function. The coffeehouse/bar downstairs is also great. Location is excellent if you want to be right beside the French Quarter without all of the noise all of the time. The pool was closed for most of our stay, which was disappointing. Our room also faced a wall, which we would’ve liked to know in advance. No live TV, which is difficult for international travellers who don’t have American login information. The bedding was lovely but they use plastic mattress covers that are noisy and uncomfortable. Really close to being great but overall good.

No place to put your clothes. Had to live out of a suitcase. Thermostat was set to go no lower than 70. Could use ceiling fans in the bedrooms. It got warm in the room. Other than that, the location was fine, the place has charm. Parking there was very easy.
