My girlfriends and I stayed an entire week here, it’s decently close to the airports and to all tourist locations like the French Quarter, Garden District etc. Tim suggested we take Ubers instead of renting a car which I agree was definitely worth it. You get what you pay for with the location, the area is a little sketchy and loud but with ear plugs you can tune it out and there’s two locks on the front door.
As far as the cleanliness and interior goes there were a few things I wish I would’ve known when booking this place. To start the sofa is white (that’s obviously shown in pictures) so we were nervous to sit on it and there are a lot of rules in terms of stains etc which is understandable since this is a party city but didn’t make much sense to have a white couch accompanied by two very uncomfortable chairs in an Airbnb. The toilet seat moves every time you sit down, and to be honest I’m tired of staying at Airbnb’s where they are just “cleaned” and not kept well. For instance we found a cockroach crawling around my gfs belongings and after notifying Tim about the incident he said he could only refund me $30 for the inconvenience. Originally I asked for two nights to be refunded and apparently the $30 was “all he could do”. He also offered someone to come by and spray repellent but that didn’t make much sense to me because he had admitted there was an exterminator there the day prior to our arrival so why bother. I was a bit peeved but honestly I just wanted to get the hell out of there and be done with Airbnb’s all together.
While I understand that there wasn’t an infestation having an exterminator come once a month when there are holes everywhere around the house doesn’t seem like they’re doing enough to prevent bugs from getting in. There’s cracks under the door, behind the door in the bathroom another opening into the wall and above the refrigerator there is a large hole surrounding the pipes in the ceiling among other locations.
All in all like I said you get what you pay for but after this I’m definitely deleting this app. Back to hotels I go!
