We were a party of 3 that stayed in Stephen & Greg's for 4 nights. We arrived on a rainy evening, and were slightly surprised to enter a house that felt much like a dungeon; there was a strong musky odor, which was inevitable with all the wooden structures plus the rain. When we mentioned it to Greg, he offered helpful instructions on turning on the heat to get rid of the humidity, which worked perfectly. We spent most of our time exploring New Orleans so that the tasks we performed in the house were merely showering, sleeping, fixing quick coffee breaks and having a beer with a cigarette in the backyard. Stephen & Greg's accommodated all of those with no problem, although not necessarily beautifully. We all agreed that for what we needed the house for, there wasn't much to complain about; however, me and my husband did keep waking up with red itchy bumps on our bodies after sleeping in the front bedroom for the first 3 nights. We inspected the beddings ourselves and it was free of traces of insects although the brick walls surrounding the bed naturally have numerous crevices. We decided to sleep on the sofa bed for the last night and we didn't get any new ones. We reported this to Greg, and he was very considerate and understanding. Since we came back home, thankfully there hasn't been any new development. I personally think it'll be unfair to attribute our skin reactions to the house itself, since we were told by our dermatologist that insect bites sometimes take a few days to surface like that, so it's hard to determine when and where we were bit. However, I still feel morally obligated to share our experience as is publicly. The itching definitely impaired our ability to enjoy our time in New Orleans, but there is no evidence that it was directly inflicted by staying in this house. Overall, I think this house has great potentials if some of the maintenance challenged posted by the interior aesthetics are better met: it will result in a much cleaner, brighter and more comfortable house to stay in.
