Good location few minutes walk from downtown and French quarterThe place has a great location a block away from the WWII museum and within walking distance of everything elseSuch a great downtown apartmentsometimesThe building entrance is often blocked by a huge smelly trash container No washing machine (it was out of order during our stay)Washer / Dryer were out of commission and there was a noisy garbage pick up in the morning Other than that the property offered a great location and everything we neededRead more reviewsAmenities & Room:
