New Orleans Condos | Places to Stay in New Orleans

April 22, 2023 Milan Banda

With a little bit of this and a little bit of that all mixed together with flair and panache, beautifully vibrant New Orleans has made the most of marks left by whomever was calling the shots during whatever era over the past few centuries. Hardly a hodgepodge, the result of such a distinctive blend of cultures is an enchanting cityscape, a set of unique traditions that continuously delight the world, and a jaunty way of living that must be experienced to be appreciated.

Sonder Lafayette Square

Enjoy the laid-back lifestyle and come-as-you-are attitude of the Big Easy at Lafayette Square. Wrought-iron railings and expansive windows complement a sandstone façade. Each sunlit Sonder inside comes complete with an open-plan kitchen and living room plus in-suite laundry. The Central Business District has plenty to offer in culture, entertainment, and dining — the Orpheum Theater and Ogden Museum of Southern Art are within walking distance. And for elevated creole cuisine, we love Luke, the chic brasserie down the street. Experience the best of New Orleans right at your doorstep.

Exceded expectations!

The place was amazing! Great location. Felt safe walking to other locations and walking back at the end of a long day. The place was clean. Parking wasn’t as bad as I thought since the app provided detailed information about the nearest parking garage. Will definitely stay again!

French Quarter Mansion

French Quarter Mansion, a Hospitality of New Orleans property, is a Creole Mansion located in the heart of the historic New Orleans French Quarter on 730 Dumaine, snuggled between Bourbon and Royal Street. It was built in 1820 by John Fritz Miller to house his family and law practice of Christian Rosaleus, founder of Tulane University School of Law. The French Quarter Mansion is now a 9 unit luxury guesthouse, which retains all of its original architectural detail, carefully altered to accommodate today's conveniences, featuring all privately accessed self-contained accommodations with en-suite bathrooms, full kitchens, Living rooms and so much more.

Black Mold and no AC

Reviewed By S9839AArutht

Starting from the beginning, parking isn’t near the Mansion. We parked about 5 blocks away, having to carry our luggage along the way. The outside door wasn’t as secure as I felt it could be. There is a keypad entry that is supposed to aid in preventing transmission of COVID, however you still have to type in the code. We were in apartment 7. This is located on the 3rd floor of the Mansion. There is no elevator. The stair case, is spiral. The steps felt weak. The railing also felt weak. It did not feel safe walking up and down the steps. When we arrived at the apartment, we immediately noticed the coffee pot had not been cleaned in some time. During a pandemic, with NOLA being a hotspot for the virus, this is totally unacceptable. I’m aware old houses have dust, but this dust had been there some time. The fridge was a mini fridge that was not cold when we got there. Our drinks did not cool until the next day. The fridge also was leaking water into the floor. Complementary coffee and wine was supposed to be provided, however it was not brought to our room until after we’d been there 2 days. Opening the cabinets under the sink were 2 dead roaches. The window in the kitchen would not close completely letting out cool air. Moving on to the bathroom, there was multiple large black mold spots on the roof above the toilet. The shower curtain and tub tray also was dark with mold. The bathroom sink ran continuously. Even if the knobs were in the off position. There was a ring of rust around the hot water side. Under the bathroom sink was a water leak that was discovered the last day we were there. The bedroom had access to the porch. The porch felt unsafe. The boards felt weak and slanted downward. The porch is shared with the room next door. The door to the porch wasn’t a secure door. It often came open while we were out. This felt like a security issue since the neighboring room had access to our side of the porch. The apartment had one small tv in the bedroom that was attached to a fire stick. The sheets on the beds were not fitted for the size mattress that we had. They continuously were coming off of the bed with the slightest movement. The largest issue that caused the most disturbance was the bedroom air conditioner was dripping water onto the bed. After seeing all of the above mentioned issues, the property owner was contacted immediately on the day of arrival (Monday) Management sent out a man by the name of Rubio. Rubio glanced at the air conditioner stating it was “blown out” yesterday and that he would contact the contractor. Rubio stated that the owner needed a bigger fridge when addressing the leaking. No actions were taken. Rubio did however fix the window. The next day (Tuesday) no actions were taken whatsoever on the above mentioned problems. Wednesday, after being out in the city all day, we returned to the air conditioner now leaking twice as bad. Water was now running down the walls. Management was contacted once again. Management advised us that all issues had been taken care of. Management stated to us that housekeeping and the owner themselves had made a trip to the apartment. However, they clearly were not. When questioned about the timing of their arrival to fix the issues management then stated it was a misrepresentation and they had NOT actually been there. Later that night management sent out a very nice gentleman to check on some of the issues that never were fixed. Looking at the moldy spots in the bathroom, the gentleman stated the room should not have been rented with mold in the bathroom. When moving the bed to make room for the ladder (the AC unit is on the ceiling above the bed) we found a used mask that had not been brought with us. The gentleman made efforts to correct the air conditioner however it did not work well after. You can imagine the level of discomfort in August in NOLA with no AC. Since our concerns were not taken seriously, we requested a refund. Management stated we would have to take our concerns to AirBnB since it was used to exchange money. I would not recommend this room and will never consider staying here again. Management isn’t in this business for the customers or the nostalgia and atmosphere offered in the Big Easy, but purely out of greed. The entire apartment was cheaply remodeled to make quick profits.

DO NOT STAY HERE - NO SOUND ISOLATION

Reviewed By AlexInAruba

Do not stay here. Several of the rooms are on the side with the Streetcar and this building has basically no sound isolation (it was originally a factory, not a residential building. The streetcar runs 24 hours a day. It sounds like a plane is landing in our bedroom every time it passes. When I asked Sextant for a different room, they didn't do anything to help even though another room was clearly available on their website.

NOLA 1st Cousin’s Trip

Reviewed By lashaviaf2022

We were a group of cousins from all over different parts of the country who chose, The Natchez, for our place of vacationing. The staff at The Natchez was exceptionally attentive, especially a staff member named Axl. Axl had a very warming personality, as well as, a warming smile, and was very kind to me and my family. I would recommend The Natchez for any of your vacationing needs while in the area of New Orleans. The rooms were more than satisfying and the shower heads in the bathrooms were to die for! I also personally enjoyed the cabanas that they had above the pool as well. Thank you staff! Until next time… Shay

California Building

Great apartment, but not quiet due to location near hospital

Reviewed By lorrih663

This apartment was very nice, clean, and felt very safe due to needing a code to get into building, then a separate code for the apartment. We got it with our Venture points thru Capital One, then had to check in with Hosteeva. Check in was a complete pain as you had to upload your ID and a selfie, but it wouldn't work no matter how many times we tried. However, the lady at Hosteeva was super helpful and made it work. I don't feel it was worth the amount as it was over $800 for 2 days but it was very central to lots of stuff and about a 15-20 minute walk to the French Quarter. Street car stop is right in front too, which is very convenient.

Wonderful apartment/ condo but….

Reviewed By Frank M

We chose this location for the size and pool. We traveled with 3 teenagers and a 9yr old. I parked for cheap two blocks away with spothero. We unloaded everything and the boys couldn’t wait to check out the pool. New Orleans is not the most kid friendly town so we needed this amenity. Turns out the pool had some issues and looked like a swamp and was not fixed during our stay. While the location is not ideal for being in the middle of the quarter, it was ideal for what we needed for our stay due to space. It had 3 bedrooms, kitchen and a non working pool. I still gave it 5 stars because perhaps a group of friends would not be worried about a pool because they want to enjoy the quarter and it is perfect for that. The bar on ground level is amazing for a good cocktail. Bartenders are great. Lounge area is beautiful in the bar. Bring ice because there is no ice machine in the building like a hotel. You have ice trays but who has time to wait for water to freeze when needing that beverage. The apartment was truly beautiful. Location was not bad unless you just want to be in the middle of it all but for the money and if splitting it with friends…..ideal.

8. Sonder The Gallier

131 Carondelet St, New Orleans, LA 70130-2501
Sonder The Gallier

Built 100+ years ago, the apartment walls are part of the historical nature of this proud city. Sample some of New Orleans' most iconic dishes at Daisy Duke Express.
