CONS:
Contrary to the listing THERE IS NO FREE street parking--a big reason why I booked this unit in New Orleans.
--No one answered the phone for instructions (constant communication of my arrival time via app)
-When I asked where the free parking was as stated in the listing, I was guided to a $40 a night parking lot.
-Not only was parking not available due to construction (which I wasn't notified about at all until I arrived at the property and saw it myself)--once it was available the next day, the street parking that was available was not FREE--turns out it was timed and charged parking-- and I received a $60 parking ticket when I parked there at night when I arrived.

-I had to spend an additional $120 to my trip budget for parking in the lot and $60 for the parking ticket. It ended up costing me $180 in total. I had to go home early from my trip because I was short on money due to the huge extra expense :(
-Charges $100 Cleaning Fee that is automatically added to your stay--but then tells the guest to clean and do laundry for the unit in the 'House Rules'. Either charge to clean or partial refund the guest their $100. I did clean and laundry as required.
-The only options for parking is the paid lot across the street which will cost $40 per night to park or 2 hour paid street parking.
-Please put instructions for your guests to be aware of the process and tricks it will take to open the door as it is not your typical lock (At mercy of digital key code working & no keys until you after you enter unit)--would help to have an extra set of keys hidden around the property if all else fails.
-Toilet had a leak which pooled on the floor during the stay. Observed the toilet had not been bolted down properly. Alerted property right away to let them know.
PROS:
-STUNNING PROPERTY. Exactly as shown in the photos! Unit was clean as a whistle and all bedding and towels were clean and ready to be used. Covid era approved!
-BED IS AMAZING. So comfortable, big and relaxing!
-Location was wonderful! 5 mins from the FQ by car. If you love to be near the action but not in it--this is for you!
-Was available to communicate with the property via text during the day which helps if you are on the go.
-Physical keys to the property in case the digital key code to enter the unit fails.
-Will recommend unit to friends and family looking to vacation in New Orleans.
My family has been running property short term rentals for years, so I understand the challenges that arise when properties have guests.
