Everything in the building and unit is highend. You will not be dissapointed by the accommodation or the location. You are within walking distance of everything New Orleans has to offer. You are even in walking distance of The Mercedes Benz Super Dome. If you want to experience New Orleans the way it should be this is the location for you...
The most common definition of the French Quarter includes all the land stretching along the Mississippi River from Canal Street to Esplanade Avenue (12 blocks) and inland to North Rampart Street (seven to nine blocks). It equals an area of 78 sq. blocks. Some definitions, such as city zoning laws, exclude the properties facing Canal Street, which had already been redeveloped by the time architectural preservation was considered, and the section between Decatur Street and the river, much of which had long served industrial and warehousing functions. Any alteration to structures in the remaining blocks is subject to review by the Vieux Carré Commission, which determines whether the proposal is appropriate for the historic character of the district. Its boundaries as defined by the City Planning Commission are: Esplanade Avenue to the north, the Mississippi River to the east, Canal Street, Decatur Street and Iberville Street to the south and the Basin Street, St. Louis Street and North Rampart Street to the west.[4] Bourbon Street is a famous and historic street that spans the length of the French Quarter in New Orleans, Louisiana. When founded in 1718, the city was originally centered around the French Quarter.[1] New Orleans has since expanded, but 'The Quarter' remains the cultural hub, and Bourbon Street is the street best known by visitors.
The most popular section of Bourbon Street is 'Upper Bourbon Street', an eight-block section of popular tourist attractions. Bourbon Street begins at Canal Street (across Canal is Carondelet Street in the New Orleans Central Business District). The straight street continues downriver, southwest to northeast a few blocks from and roughly paralleling the Mississippi River, and comes to its terminus at Pauger Street in the Faubourg Marigny. (In the 19th century, Pauger was named as a continuation of Bourbon Street.) Bourbon Street was named in honor of the House of Bourbon, the ruling French Royal Family, at the time of the city's founding.
From Dumaine Street to Pauger, Bourbon Street is largely residential with scattered businesses still catering to locals. Also on this stretch of Bourbon exists (Jean) Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop, which is a very popular bar, showing the style of the original French buildings (before the Spanish iron balconies) which burned in the first Great New Orleans Fire (1788).
Though largely quiet during the day, Bourbon Street comes alive at night, particularly during the French Quarter's many festivals. Most popular among these is the annual Mardi Gras celebration, when Bourbon Street teems with hundreds of thousands of tourists. Local open container laws in the French Quarter allow drinking alcoholic beverages in the street in plastic containers (drinking from glass or cans is prohibited). The streets are packed with tourists drinking Hurricanes, Hand Grenades and Huge Ass Beers - a large plastic cup of draft beer marketed to tourists at a low price. Other festivals and events focusing on Bourbon Street include French Quarter Festival and Southern Decadence.
One of the oldest and most popular restaurants on Bourbon Street is Galatoire's, which was founded in 1905 by Jean Galatoire. Known for years by its characteristic line snaking down Bourbon Street, patrons would wait for hours just to get a table — especially on Fridays.

The location was walking distance to every place we were interested in going. The bedrooms were large and comfortable, however, the noise from the alley was unbearable. Trash trucks at 3:00am woke us up repeatedly as well as loud neighbors. Other than that, I would highly recommend this spacious and secure unit.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, sightseeing, age 55+, adventure seekers.
Owner response: The garbage trucks pick up on Tuesdays and Thursday. The building is located in The French Quarter so there is bound to be some nosiy neighbors every once in a while. We have decided to addres the sound issue with adding sound glass on the interior of the bedroom windows. This is the first time anyone has complained about the noise from the ally. My husband has said he hears the garbage trucks every once in a while. So we are going to add the sound glass to reduce the nosie and fix the problem. Hopefully this will be our first and last complaint about this issue. thanks, Crista

We absolutely loved staying at this condo - gorgeous, stylish, clean and in a great location. The beds were super comfortable and the baths were modern and clean. We were able to walk everywhere - to Bourbon, Frenchmans, Jackson Square, Treme, etc. The owners were very responsive and friendly. The only thing I would note that may be an issue for others is that the master bedroom faces the street and it can get a little noisy, but it's nothing that a pair of ear plugs couldn't solve. We would definitely stay here again. LOVE NOLA!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This condo is beautiful. Brand new everything. The beds were super comfy and soft. Nice sheets, very soft.I loved that there was a tv in the bedroom because I can't fall asleep without one being on. Great location. Parked the car and walked to everything. The two master bedroom/bathroom lay out was perfect for two adult couples. It gave us all plenty of room to get ready every morning. The only draw back was the noise early in the morning when the dumpsters were being emptied. It didn't bother me that much because I was more interested in day time activities and wanted to be up at a reasonable hour anyway. The owners are very nice. They contacted me to see if we needed anything. I would rent this condo again, worth every penny.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

We loved every minute of staying in this condo! In fact, multiple people said they were sad to leave it. It is in a perfect location, is ultra modern, is decorated perfectly, and the beds were amazing! I will not be staying in a hotel in New Orleans anymore, I have found my home away from home!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 2/2

We loved our stay in this perfectly-located condo! We were able to walk everywhere except one restaurant that we wanted to try. One cab ride in 5 days - not bad! The condo itself is very attractive and comfortable. The 2 master bedrooms were perfect for 2 couples travelling together. Much nicer and more relaxing than staying in a hotel, and well-suited to socializing with your travel companions. The owners were VERY accommodating - I had to replace a cell phone while in Nola, and they helped with shipping arrangements on my new phone. What more could you ask for? One word of advice to future visitors -- read those parking/street signs carefully. On Tues & Thurs mornings a lot of parking spots are off limits because the city uses special vehicles to clean the sidewalks. They WILL tow your car if you are in the way! :)Recommended for: Romantic getaway, sightseeing, tourists without a car, adventure seekers, girls getaway.

This condo surpassed our expectations in every aspect - close to everything in the French Quarter, absolutely stunning decor and extremely clean and comfortable. Honestly, I don't want to over hype this place because we want to make sure it's available for our next trip to New Orleans. Gerard and Crista were more than accommodating for our every need. We felt safe with the entry codes into the building and the unit itself. I will recommend to family and friends who visit New Orleans. Our thanks to Crista for the southern hospitality and sharing her wonderful home to us while visiting for the Rock N Roll Marathon.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

Really enjoyed our stay at this French Quarter apartment. The apartment is exactly as shown in the photos. Two bedrooms with their own private bathrooms. The location is perfect: at the edge of the French Quarter close to everything but without the noise. The apartment is spacious and fully furnished with all the modern amenities one could wish for. A high-speed WiFi signal is also available. I highly recommend this property.Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing, age 55+, tourists without a car, girls getaway.
