The Tremé neighborhood on Esplanade is lined with beautiful homes. The photos of this historic apt (as opposed to the old school upstairs apt) I stayed in are pretty accurate. This home is very close to the 10 Highway. There is one abandoned house in between this place and the highway. In between this house, the abandoned house and the highway is a liquor store called Man Chu- the kind where the clerk is behind glass. The parking lot of the liquor store is a big party scene (cars blasting music) and it’s right across from the raised highway- under the highway are large spaces where people live and party. Apparently on Sundays- the underpass becomes a party/ BBQ place. So the immediate area surrounding this house is a bit sketchy. The last night I was there, people came and hung out in the back yard of this place- their backs right up against the wall of the bedroom- screaming and yelling for hours. Sounded like they were on drugs. It’s sad that people live like this on the streets, are on drugs and perhaps have mental illnesses. Just a heads up: this particular part of the neighborhood is loud and there are many people who could be homeless, drunk, high or sick near by. My arrival was forgotten about. I even checked in with Brandon 24 hours before. I called Trudell a 1/2 hour before my arrival as I was told to do. She had no idea about my reservation. So the room was still dirty. She said she’d be right over but she never came. She sent two cleaners over who arrived an hour later. It wasn’t ready until 8:30 pm. No one ever checked in on me or offered an apology during my stay. I clean houses and air BnBs for a living- I get that reservations get screwed up- but I was there 3 days and no one checked in on me to apologize or offer any discount or anything. This place is cute. It could have a better bedspread, towels, pillows- (they are all very worn and old). There were only two wire hangers available. Bathtub, plastic tub mat and shower curtain: gross. I didn’t take a shower there. For the price it’s ok.
