Antonine Apartment Upper Garden District

Great location - beautiful neighborhood. Walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, and bars.

I’m typically satisfied if a place is simply clean, but this place was dingy (one small window with very little natural light) and unclean. Didn’t use the couch due to stains.

Very convenient to Tulane university which is why I was in town. Unique little cottage, Dominique was very accommodating.

Entry was easy and our host, Dominic, was very pleasant and responsive when we requested towels, bowls, and a toaster. You will love meeting Bruno and his twin Remy! Invest in a few dog treats and you'll have them eating out of your hand. Street parking was fine and we walked to many stores and restaurants on Magazine, St. Charles, Tchoupitoulas," and beyond. We always felt safe on the property and around the neighborhood even after dark.

No washer or dryer on site, but the laundry at corner of Magazine and Valence was convenient. We dropped off our clothes and "Cindy" had them washed, dried, and folded for us within a few hours.

The good: Location! Easy walking distance to Magazine Street and everything else in the garden district. The price for the area was a good deal. Lots of great local restaurants, bars, and shops nearby, and a very safe neighborhood.

The not so good: The apartment smelled mildewy and everything seemed slightly damp - the air conditioning units didn't seem to help sufficiently dehumidify the space and all of my clothing felt damp. The floors were sticky. The pillows were incredibly flat/broken down and the bedding didn't feel very clean or fresh. The shower was super slippery and needs an anti-slip mat to avoid accidents. The lighting in the bathroom is awful so it was tough to get ready for the day. There is only one window in the bedroom, which makes the unit very dark. There was construction going on in the backyard, which I would have appreciated a heads up about as it was disruptive when I tried to take meetings in my unit/the back garden and also made my privacy feel limited. Communication with the owner was subpar (e.g. not getting check-in instructions until I reached out; short and rude replies). Coming home one night, a large rat jumped off the gate and ran along the fence as I walked through! Overall, while the place was affordable, I wish I had had a more accurate sense of the lackluster apartment so that I could have chosen to spend a bit more on somewhere that felt cleaner and more comfortable. It felt like a spot for a college kid/someone who's just in town to party and crash, which doesn't really fit with the neighborhood.

Great location tucked away in a side street off the fun Magazine street. Easy enough to get into the city. Place was clean and beds were comfy, did the job perfectly.

Water pressure from the shower was a little weak, but generally can't really complain at all

Loved the location and convenience

Very quaint. We enjoyed having morning coffee in the courtyard. The location was perfect. Our host was very accommodating.

Although there was a coffee pot, there was no coffee. Other than that, everything was fine.
