In general I try to keep a positive attitude in front of adversity. However, I also don't want to mislead people so here are the facts, some of which I communicated with the Frontdesk team. Regarding check-in: I was given the wrong code to access the mailbox with the key. I don't know why. Thankfully, I was able to find someone when I called and he gave me the correct code. The shower: it was not working in the first day. I had to devise acrobatics to get myself cleaned up and be presentable for work. Thankfully it was fixed the same day and Frontdesk gave me a small refund. A/C: there is no A/C in the bedroom and the one in the living room made so much noise at night that I couldn't sleep and had to turn it off.
Positives: the people responding to text messages were supernice and accommodating and helpful. Location is excellent, very close to the French Quarter and Canal Street. And the apartment is spacious.
