The good:
- great location. Right on the edge of the French quarter - close enough to walk to everything in the French quarter but far enough away that it wasn’t too busy.
- responsive host. We thought we had an issue and he responded right away which we appreciated.
- good check in process. We received clear instructions and had no trouble checking in (although we had to message the host a few days earlier to receive those instructions).
Helpful tips:
- the unit is at the top of a building without stairs. You have to climb up three flights of stairs. This was a slight problem for my mom in her mid 60s who has mobility issues and who had hurt her knee a few weeks ago, which exacerbated her knee issues.
- place is advertised as a luxurious location. This is an overstatement. Furniture is dated. Place is not particularly clean. For example, sponge in kitchen sink for washing smelled. Bathroom has some stains and rust. Door knobs were loose. Handle to shower was broken and came off.
- although there is a kitchen with a stove top and dishes and what not, there is only one small pot (we had to cook pasta for four people in two batches because the pot was so small) with a very loose lid, one pan and very dull knives which were very difficult to use. We ended up only cooking the one dinner because it was too hard to cook with such limited supplies.
Overall, we would stay there again because the host was responsive and the location was top notch but we would not be willing to pay the same price.
