The Space:
Nestled within the historic embrace of New Orleans' Central Business District, The Picayune stands as a living testament to the city's rich history, with roots that delve deep into the realm of journalism.

The property was perfect for my stay. It had just what i needed to feel at home...i cant wait to book again. Just the right distance to everything necessary for me. The hallways smelled amazing and i never wanted to leave the bed, it was so very comfortable and the heat in the bathroom was just the extra i needed.

We were actually booked for the Investigative Reporting condo but were kindly offered a free upgrade to their larger space Outdoor and Adventure a few days before arrival so this is more of a review for that apartment but I’m guessing my experience will apply to the entire building. The condo was secure, bright, updated, tastefully decorated, IMMACULATELY clean and exactly as described! The beds were comfy, the water hot and the a/c was cold which you need in NOLA in June! Having the kitchen was nice, there’s a grocery a short walk away and we made breakfast several mornings and snacks at night. We used the washer/dryer several times and detergent and dryer sheets were provided. The location was great, only two blocks to Canal Street with tons of shops and restaurants, the streetcars and then another quick couple blocks to Bourbon Street. We walked or took streetcars everywhere. Yes, there is some noise currently happening in the alley but that can’t last forever and can’t be helped..we just closed the bedroom door which was at the opposite end of the condo and it was fine. Barbara was so easy to work with and we had all we needed after sightseeing, touring and let’s be honest, day drinking. If you’re visiting NOLA, we highly recommend the Picayune!

I loved this condo! I'm from New Orleans and I've never had the opportunity to stay in the CBD. The condo is gorgeous and very clean. I had trouble getting when i first got there, but Barbara was very responsive and helpful and made this trip a pleasurable one. If you're looking for a great place for your visit to New Orleans, this is it. I will definitely be back.

Awsome property. Would definitely stay again. But,as almost all other renters have mentioned intheir reviews, and i know there is nothing the owner can do butttt.... the garbage pick up at 4am is a real thing, and takes 30 minutes.

My husband and I booked this condo a year ago for Mardi Gras. From beginning to end, our stay was fantastic. The condo was exactly as described and the extra items left by the owner were just perfect. Before arrival, I had many questions answered by Barbara who was very accommodating with her answers and suggestions. We love New Orleans and will definitely book this unit again for our future travels.

This location just couldn't be better. Only a few blocks to Bourbon Street and the French Quarter, it was much more quiet than if we were in the FQ. If you are visiting from the suburbs or a small town, don't forget this lovely apartment is IN the heart of a city. There are city noises; however, they were less than I expected. Simple ear plugs go a long way in cancelling such noises at bedtime. The bed was extra comfy, the bathroom scrumptious, and the kitchen well equipped. The management company is very helpful and gave us lots of great suggestions. When we go back to NOLA, we will use this same company and (hopefully) stay in this same apartment/building. We hope sooner than later!

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!

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!

Brought my neice to NOLA for a long weekend and we loved this rental. Cool building, clean, large bathroom, comfy bed, nice kitchen etc. It is not in yhe quarter so kone of the noise, but within a few blocks walk to nice restaurants shops and bars. We loved the corner cafe for breakfast- Marjorias Commerce- get the biscuits!! We had great communication with the manager of the property and no concerns ir issues at all. Highly recommend!
6.0
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.

Lots of communication. Great place to stay and we would stay again.

We had an amazing weekend in NOLA! From the reservation to the check out, this was just the best process. The condo was spot-on and clean and the host was easy to reach when we had any questions/concerns. All around a great place to stay and I would definitely stay here again and recommend this place to anyone looking for a great location and fantastic accommodations!
