    I never had contact with any staff and was unsure how check out worked. I had no idea how to reach someone regarding any questions or requests. I don't know if there are rooms on ground floor levels. I would not recommend for people unable to take stairs and the stairs are steep and narrow. Any heavy luggage will count as a workout manuvering up and down the stairs.

    I enjoyed the location. It was enough out of the Jackson square French Quarter area to enjoy less hectic night life. There were cafes, restraurants , and bars/ music venues near the hotel. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the local resident interactions. The area felt safe and it was only 15 minute stroll to Jackson Square. The room was on the smaller side but had more than enough space for me. The decor of the room and house lended a historical charm. There was a fridge and microwave in the room. The downstrairs common areas were lovely and offered board games, coffee (keriug pods) and tables to eat your to go meals. I would recommend this hotel for anyone wanting to enjoy New Orleans without having to be bombarded by the French Quarter night life. The location offers ease of access to the central quarter, while remaining removed enough to allow a truer local experience of the area. I felt truly blessed to have been able to last minute book this hotel on the holiday weekend.

    My room was adjacent to the court yard.

    The ambiance and positive energy. Jen Lee was very familiar to me prior to my arrival. After a day, I became I’ll , and she did her best within her means to allow me to recuperate after taking my prescriptions, needing rest prior to check out. Of course I was charged an additional fee once or twice, but I couldn’t possibly left immediately, considering I was under medication with extreme side effects. I thank Jen for her immediate attention. However, I hope to be back as long as they’ll have me.

    It was a bit of a problem to get in, ass they sent an email with exterior building and room door combinations in the early afternoon, which I was unable to connect to since I can't connect using my phone. I tried calling their phone number unsuccessfully to talk with someone, so we just waited on a bench outside the door. The manager finally showed up and provided the information.

    The area was quite at night and easy to find. The connected restaurant had good food and wine.

    The sink and shower drain slowly and the room has no natural light.

    It's easy to find, easy to find parking, and easy to get into. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxed and I didn't feel nervous about walking down the block with my luggage. There were extra blankets in the closet so I didn't have to run the heat. Also there's a chill wine bar/restaurant downstairs. It's very low key and is a great place to start the night. It's in a great location, you're just 2-3 blocks from Frenchmen St. and just a short walk from Bourbon St and Cafe du Monde.

    The fact that it is called the balcony house & we didn’t have a balcony off our room was disappointing. There is a shared balcony area in the other building.

    The location was my favorite part of the place. Very quaint!

    It was a double edge sword, you wanted peace and quiet and also a night life to enjoy. I’m one that doesn’t like to get around by car, so I did a lot of walking. I wish there were more of the electric bike access or scooters people can use to get around town. Maybe a guide that pointed out more local restaurants and bars to visit locally. There were quite a few located blocks away, but I just did not know where to go.

    Cozy, staff were comforting, far enough from the strip, where there was peace and quiet. Yet, you were blocks from other sources of entertainment.

    My box spring was broken or of poor quality. It wasn't obvious and was an easy thing to miss as a cleaning crew.

    Location and the place itself were amazing. Small shared kitchen was perfect, patio and balcony smoking areas were too. There was no staff present during my staff but that's fine with me.

    A bit cramped with the sofa bed in use. The sofa bed needs a new mattress & better pillows. Not a fan of the restaurant underneath.
