Two small issues that we ran into while staying at Louis’ location. As he mentions, street parking is available but it’s a busy street and there was always cars parked throughout the weekend. We weren’t able to park in front of our door until the last day when we needed to pack up and go. So that was a little frustrating especially seeing that behind the house there’s a drive way and it’s gated in. Would be nice if that could be offered to guest especially when there’s no parking. Other issue, a kevo lock/key is assigned to you and I uploaded the app but the first night my cell died and we didn’t think anything of it since a physical key was given to us and to my understanding you didn’t even have to upload the app to use it but that wasn’t the case. When we got back after a long day of being out, we returned and had difficulties with the key and couldn’t get in. Since I was the one who reserved the place, I had Louis contact info and I couldn’t access my phone since it was dead. I remembered him saying he was right next door to us but there was like 2 doors next to ours that I knocked on and no one answered. I went around the corner and saw one other door and knocked but no answer even though I could hear people. I didn’t want to be rude and knock hard. After awhile we we’re frustrated so I thought of getting on my husband’s cell and tried logging into his Airbnb app to contact Louis but couldn’t and after waiting a while I had to figure out how to access all my info from his cell to try and contact Louis in some way or figure out the kevo key on his cell. After about 20-30 mins of standing outside our door trying to figure it out we finally got the key to work and got in.
Other than those issues, the place was just as shown in the pictures. It was super clean! The bed was comfortable! It was perfect for a couple. Louis had a “Welcome” sign inside as we walked in which was cute. The place is two blocks away from the streetcar which was our main way of transportation. It was very convenient! There’s a few restaurants in walking distance but we didn’t try any of them, we stayed at the French Quarter most of the weekend. Louis was responsive for the most part and he even did me a favor of printing out our concert tickets last minute. The neighborhood had its areas or homes that weren’t in the best condition, it was a quiet street and hardly saw anyone out on the street so I had no idea why there was so many parked cars.
I would recommend this place!
