I really wouldn't recommend staying here unless it's for a very short period of time. We stayed at Brandon's place for a month and experienced all of the pros and cons of staying at this place. This is the worst place we've stayed in through airbnb in terms of cleanliness, host communication and helpfulness and condition of the place, but one of the best in terms of location.
Pros:
- Location (right in the heart of mid city)
- Bed (squeaky but very comfortable)
- Towels and toiletries provided
- Dishwasher for washing up
Cons
- Cleanliness (very dirty and hard to keep clean due to dirty street)
- Huge cracks/holes in the floor
- Lack of hot water in shower for most of visit (3/4 weeks w/o hot showers)
- - Bathroom window won't fully close so constantly cold if showering during winter
- No Wifi available
- No insulation so you can hear everything outside, near two popular bars so there are usually loud people in the streets
- Host can be unresponsive
- Kitchen lacks most necessary supplies to cook food and some burners don’t work properly
- (we had to buy pans, chopping boards, baking pans and some cooking utensils)
We absolutely enjoyed our stay in nola, but please understand what you're paying for if you book this airbnb.
