Good set of amenities (washer/dryer, coffee machine listed) and secure building; however guests reported issues like a full washer/dryer, missing towels, and absent coffee despite machine.
Value for Money

Perceived value reduced by unexpected paid parking fees and meter costs; otherwise apartments are spacious which helps perceived value for some guests.

The bathroom shower and microwave was dirty. The fire alarm keep beeping and going off . They had wet clothes in the apt
Pros:

Bourbon was walking distance and it was shopping place and food place I loved that

Cons:

That I had pay 32.00 for 4 days straight didn’t know that I wouldn’t got a renter. Feeding the meter everyday blow me bad. Wish I was told that no paying was included or at least a one day parking fee I was ok with that .

OVERALL I requested a refund for the room as I left within 15 minutes of the stay.
Pros:

The 3 bedroom was spacious and look clean; however there were ants crossing the threshold when I arrived to the room. Inside everything appeared to be clean and organized.

Cons:

When we arrived early there was no attendant so we weren’t able to store baggage until we got confirmation to check in that really suck for people traveling and arrive early. Then we left to find refuge in the 107 degree weather and couldn’t get back in to grab my wallet and cup.. Returned to the hotel at 2 o’clock once the code came in and both were gone and the cleaning person could not really speak English stated she saw nothing… Went into the room I saw ants and then the biggest issue was NO AIR my watch read 80 degrees for the room I was standing in…….

Make this your last resort, or don't do it
Pros:

I like the size of the apartment. It was close to the French Quarter.

Cons:

I didn't like that there was no parking. There were roaches in the refrigerator. I made several calls to the property manager, and he did nothing about our concerns.

Horrible experience
Pros:

T I didn’t like anything after I had to purchase items that ruined the trip. If they wasn’t gonna provide anything, it should have been stated.

Cons:

his was a horrible experience. We had to buy our own toilet tissue and had to buy washing powder to wash towels because they did not bring more towels as they stated they would. I never could get in touch with anyone for anything that was needed for the place, but the fact that I had to buy Things that should have been in there was very disappointing. Also, I have never had to wash my own towels for them to say that this is a hotel and it was not no one was ever on duty. Just floors were very slippery when you get out of the shower. I almost broke my neck. I called every day left messages. I even email for someone to respond back to me about us getting some type of discount and no one has responded yet. I will not stay or recommend this place ever again.

The inside of the place was fantastic, i would definitely stay there again.
Pros:

The feel of the room, it felt like a home not a vacation spot.

Cons:

The location was a little busier than I like but being New Orleans, a party city, it was expected. Iwould recommend to families with older children. Mine fit the mold well enough but anyone under 11/12, depending on the maturity level, not a good idea. But my family had a great time and stay.
