Roami at The Esplanade

The property is in an amazing location, was spacious, comfy and clean. Cute decor, nice amenities in the bathroom and kitchen. But. When we arrived one bathroom had no towels. There were instructions for finding towels in a bureau out in the lobby but that was empty. We were able to find some eventually in another closet in the lobby. We then could not get the door from the lobby to outside to stay closed (locked) I sent a note to Roami that was never answered. For checkout (11am) we were asked to enter a special code in the door to indicate we had checked out. While still in bed at 9am, someone lightly knocked and then opened the door to our space to see if we were still there (left with no conversation). There were a lot of good things but not sure they outweighed the not so good.

We loved this place. Perfect location, quiet, comfy! Apt 201 is unfussy with super clear Roami instructions. Entry is from street level (vestibule has a washer/dryer closet) and you walk upstairs to the main apartment. The best feature is its location—we listened to music on Frenchmen until around 1-2am every night and walked here in less than five minutes. And there's a little market downstairs. We couldn't have hoped for better at this price point and really felt fortunate to have been in this spot for our five days there. All that said, be realistic—I believe any of my criticisms about this place would apply to any other vacation rental apartment in this price range or pricier. The walls are a bit scuffed, the couch is marked up, the bed frame is squeaky, and we did squash a roach (roaches are super common in NOLA and it was downstairs). The cozy vibe is put off by the Roami signs warning you about potential extra fees. Finally, one of the three locks on the downstairs door to the street doesn't work (you still have two good locks!) and the locks on the balcony windows and door were flimsy. Ultimately, the apartment was clean and perfect for our purposes (aka a place to sleep or reconnoiter in a relatively central spot while planning to be out and about a lot, but making 2 or 3 meals ourselves and taking a work video conference call). My partner is already talking about our next trip to New Orleans and booking this same property, so we’d absolutely return.

OMG! Firstly, a man in room 106 pulled a GUN on me and my family because he said we were too loud, we were just laughing at a movie 🎥, then I attempted to call 911 in New Orleans 10 times and even waved down an officer 👮 and he said he couldn’t help me, I was fearing for my life and got no help! There was no manager or personnel on property, UNACCEPTABLE! There were no lights around the entrance, the curtains on the windows didn’t cover up the entire window so people could look in on us, the floor was dirty and had pieces of broken glass, I almost cut my foot going barefoot, the dryer didn’t work - it kept stopping after 1 minute and the bathtub was clogged. I will NEVER come back to this establishment. I demand a refund or some sort of compensation. I need charges filed on that crazy man in room 106 with a firearm 🔫 and by the way we were unarmed.

Plenty of Bars and restaurants in walking distance

Entrance is on the left side of the building. Was only 1 washcloth and no dishtowels. Floors needed cleaning. Great location. Nice to have 2 full bathrooms and a washer/ dryer.

Only issue is didn’t have enough comforters for 3 people but other than that great stay. Great location, and the loft looks amazing inside.

Perfect place to stay for your visit to New Orleans!! 3 min walk to Frenchman street, across the street from the jazz museum, and conveniently close to Jackson square and French market!! Rooms were very clean, area was roomy, and easy check in. Will definitely choose this stay again for my next visit!

Great location - you're close to the French Quarter, Frenchman, and the Marigny/Bywater. Everything is walkable and there's a trolly stop a block away. The place itself is fine and very livable for a few days. Not super quiet - you can feel the rumble of the train and you're on a busy street so bring a sound machine. Nice to have a kitchen so you can reheat leftovers - it's not really stocked well for cooking. They supplied us with coffee but no filters. Dishwasher, but no dish soap. Blowdryer that didn't fit the outlet. The floors and furniture were so dirty - it was a little gross sitting on the couch. Furniture was pretty wonky and needs updating. It definitely feels run down but the location can't be beat.

The apartment was really nice, in a nice spot. All amenities were present, even more than we expected. Maybe it could be a bit cleaner as we found some things on the floor but no big deal. thank you. I would go again.

My daughter and I went to NOLA for her birthday with her two besties. The location is great - right by Frenchman for excellent jazz, and across the street from the French Quarter.
