We had such a wonderful time staying in this condo. A perfect location to everything. We decided to rent a vehicle due to some activities further away and the hosts provided fantastic recommendations regarding a lot next door. We easily walked to the aquarium, Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, WWII museum, and Canal street from the condo. 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths made it extremely comfortable for the 6 of us. Hosts communicated necessary information throughout the process. Also very responsive. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and when we come back to New Orleans we will definitely be staying here.

My friends and I had a fantastic time staying here. The place is even more impressive in person and was very comfortable and clean. The neighborhood is lively and interesting and the place is conveniently located to many New Orlean’s sights. Can’t wait to come back and we would definitely choose this place again.

During a girls trip to NOLA, stayed in the cutest loft! Near everything, walked everywhere. Smelled amazing. Air conditioning was not working properly, but the management team was amazing as accommodating and trying to make it right. I do wish there was a more cozy living area downstairs instead of the massive dining table. We made it work and would stay here again for sure!

I can say how incredible our stay was. The location was super close to anything we wanted to see but far enough away that it was nice and quiet. Communication every step of the way was amazing with a huge call out to Barbara who took care of us from booking right through our stay and who had terrific recommendations of things to do. The property was clean and as described and I travel a lot, little things like the towels were plentiful and thick. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to NOLA and would stay again. Thanks!
