Future Guests: I apologize in advance for the lengthy review, but there is a lot to unpack. However, I do recommend that you read the review in its entirety to avoid what I experienced, and for you all to be well informed. The day of my arrival, in transit to the residence, the neighborhood was very concerning. I have visited New Orleans years ago, although never stayed on the outskirts. In addition, this was my first time using Airbnb. Although, the photos looked great on-line, in person, not at all what I expected. Check in was after 4PM, but my family and I arrived sometime between 6:30PM-7PM. When we walked into the residence, clearly the photos that were taken gave you the illusion that the rooms were much bigger. In attempting to lock the side (entry) door, I noticed a rather large gapping hole where the original door lock had been. The residence has a keypad added for Airbnbers to use self-check in. The original faceplate appeared to have been tampered with. Almost as if someone tried to pry the door open. I immediately messaged the hostess to address this safety concern. I was told that the home is historic and only certain modifications can be made. I was aware that the home was historic, however, an electronic keypad I'm sure would have need the cities approval. Additionally, who would approve leaving a large hole without recommending fixing the door. I was told that the reviews speak for themselves, but honestly, based on what I witnessed first hand, the reviews may have been written by the hostess, property management, or friends. I would advise using Google Earth to zoom in on the area/residence and cityratings.com. There was a large dead bug in the kitchen, potato chips on the living room floor, and the bathroom was not clean. I had to take a show with my sandals on, and was praying that the shower curtain did not touch me. Each of us secured all doors with a prop, and checked all of the windows as we felt very uneasy. Within two hours, I was already looking for another place to stay. Everyone that I encounter who were natives stated one of following: "you guys be careful in that area", "that area is a little rough", "they're in the middle of gentrification" , "I would not recommend walking around here". We were coming back one night after dinner, and we had to circle a block due to police presence. The police had two cars pulled over, but were searching an empty lot for something. The last nail in the coffin, the hostess/property management agreed to allow us to check out the following morning by 11AM. However, we had to wait outside from 10AM to 4:30PM, as the rental car we had enabled the security system. We called the rental car facility and we told that someone tried to steal the vehicle. My family and I had to wait in the excessive heat for AAA to come to move the car. When the AAA technician arrived, he stated that we should not be out here in this area, it is not safe. Although, I did receive a partial refund, I feel that I should have only been charged for one day, minus the cleaning (based on the lack of cleaning). Maybe they only clean the areas that they feel were utilized, or may need to invest in a new cleaning company.
