You are in the safest place with the cleanest street, and only steps away from the action!

We ask that you respect any posted rules and specific hours. If we are notified of any disrespectful behavior, it will probably result in the termination of your stay without a refund. And a reminder, NO PARTIES anywhere on the property and quiet time is 10pm until 8am.
The Neighborhood:
Union Lofts is located in the "CBD" or Central Business District. Two blocks away is Canal St. Once you cross Canal, what was once Carondelet St. is now Bourbon St. You are that close! So enjoy the clean, quiet street of your condo, yet just a few blocks away you can enjoy the party vibe of Bourbon St., and/or dine at any of the fantastic French Quarter restaurants. If you wish to venture further than walking distance, I highly recommend using Uber or the St. Charles streetcar that runs in front of the condo during the day.
Getting Around:
The St. Charles streetcar runs in front of the condo, and tickets can be purchased online or from the conductor. This is one of the hidden gems of this location. FYI, no change is given so have exact, if possible. Ubers are all over the city and can be very helpful in getting you near or far at a very reasonable price. Taxis are available but can be more pricey. Pedicabs are bicycles pedaled by locals and can be convenient and entertaining ride, yet it is not a cheaper route. There is some pay-to-park along the street of the building and a few parking garages on each block. Most guests will never need their vehicle once they arrive here.
Other Things to Note:
The building is historic, and guests are expected to be respectful of the building and its rich history.
