So this was our experience:
Check-in and communication were smooth and fluid. The apartment is nicely placed for going to the French quarter and Bourbon street and downtown.
As to the space itself:
1. Water from all faucets (shower included) was lukewarm when first checked-in. There was no hot water. I communicated with Megan and the water was fixed the next day and we had hot water the second day. We were out all day in NO, so it was done when we got back. She was very quick to communicate so that was nice.
2. Parking in back was nice. I was able to get a Toyota van with a Thule top box and a trailer hitch through the narrow alley with no issues. But it is difficult to get to the driveway from the road due to the sharp turn from the main road. Other area residents park very close to the driveway so it’s a very difficult turn to make.
3. There is no stove, but there is a hot plate where you can cook. It works just great, and best of all it shows that Megan listens because a former guest mentioned that a hot plate would be nice.
4. The neighborhood is kind of run down… my kids were a bit scared at night due to people parking in front of the house, and talking loud outside, slamming car doors, and yelling and having their car running. The house is on a major street so I suppose this can’t be helped. But it was not quiet unless you’re towards the back of the house.
5. Lastly, I saw a cockroach coming through a crack in the bathroom wall on our last day. I was surprised since the place was clean and presentable. These critters aren’t around were we’re from so I’m not sure how to interpret just seeing one inside the house.
Overall, I would stay there again. I’d probably NOT drive; so Uber, taxi, or Lyft. I wouldn’t bring small kids there.
Megan does a very good job communicating, listening to guests, and addressing issues they might have.
Safe travels!!
