My husband, parents, and I recently stayed at Erich’s place. The place was very clean and looked exactly like the photos. There were water bottles in the fridge, coffee pods, and extra bathroom toiletries in case you forgot any. The check in process and communicating with Erich were both very easy. We had a car and always got a parking spot right in front. The immediate area is not exactly the best, but we never felt unsafe and were also just a few blocks from St Charles Ave and Magazine Street where it was a bit more lively and busy.
