The positives of the place-
•great location
•walking distance to Frenchman St and other areas
•felt safe
•the place is huge for typical NOLA rentals.
The downside-
•the apartment and building are not very well maintained. The apartment itself is not as bright and clean as the pictures indicate- with numerous newspapers and comics covering holes in the walls
•toilet feels like it wills soon fall through the floor due to rotted floor boards, hopefully not with someone on it during a show in the lounge below
•one bedroom had dog feces in corner
•One bedroom did not have clean sheets but instead had holes, hair and droppings in them.
•Sofa sleeper had mouse droppings
•Floor had not been swept as there were matches and loose change (that may be a plus?)
We did not get the same feeling of how wonderful the host is as when we went to check in, she was on vacation and the other bar manager did not know we were coming.
Overall- for the price she charges the space should be kept up better. Whole feel of the building is one of neglect/run down/don’t care attitude. Would not recommend it except for a frat hangout. This is not our first time in NOLA. We have experience and saw other rentals which are much better maintained.
