I debated long and hard about renting this house and then about writing this review. It is not easy to find a great rental in New Orleans because the city is against AirBnB (there are none in the Quarter). This one has great photos and the master bedroom/bath were awesome. The house is nearly as pictured.
It is located in the oldest neighborhood for free people of color (HBO has a series about the area) and has a lot of New Orleans charm as it transitions through gentrification. We felt safe as there are plenty of outside lights and a security system. Several good restaurants nearby like the famous Dookey Chase and Willie Mae’s Scotch House. Just far enough from the Quarter to be out of the hustle and bustle without a significant commute. No issues with noise.
The design of the house requires walking through bedrooms to access the second bathroom. The upstairs “bedroom” needs redone. The four twin beds are not well suited for adults. That area is only for sleeping. It needs upgraded to fit the rest of the house. No closet. Major disappointment to our group.
The furnishings for the house are very sparse. What you see in the photos is what you get. Perhaps this is due to Covid. The kitchen is open and contains the basics. No skillets so using the stove griddle has to suffice if you cook at all (but who cooks in NOLA?).
The back house is nice as a separate getaway. Room air conditioner. Nice bathroom.
Courtyard seems nice but we didn’t use it due to the time of year.
Overall, I recommend the house just know the limitations. We had issues with the dishwasher (broken) and washer (needs repaired) which we communicated to management. These things happen. They are quick to respond but didn’t fix anything. We were there during a holiday so that is challenging. WiFi connection to TV was not easy. Hopefully they will provide better instructions.
New Orleans is a great town and this house is a good option. Could be great if some minor improvements were made.
