Okay so let me start by saying I was completely BLOWN AWAY by this modern apartment. The pictures simply do not do the place justice. You’re expecting just a small 1/1 but when you come in up the stairs you’re met with a wonderful open concept living/kitchen area that’s modern updated and sparkling clean. The bathroom is huge and then the bedroom is off to the end of the hall tucked away on its own with lots of closet space if you are traveling with someone else. The place was well stocked with everything we could need, they even had black rags embroidered with the word “makeup” for those who may want to wash their face off but not ruin the rags. Such a nice touch. It is clear these hosts are into interior design because WOW.
Now let’s talk neighborhood and safety. So some reviews claim the neighborhood isn’t safe.... LOL. I travel to NOLA often. If you’ve never been here and this is your first time, just stay in the hotel zone. Because you’re going to believe everything is unsafe. New Orleans is known for dilapidated houses, or homes with a more “rough” exterior. Especially post hurricane Katrina. This does not mean the neighborhood is unsafe y’all. Please don’t expect what you see in Cali in New Orleans. You’re getting way more culture here. The neighborhood is literally minutes away from Canal, Bourbon, and all fun areas. We went outside in the daytime and all the neighbors said hello, locals were bicycling by on a regular and the neighbor is relatively quiet.
My only con was for two things:
1. The place does not have a microwave. I was so shocked because I assumed the listing would have one just cause...who doesn’t? It was a slight damper to bring leftovers back to the Airbnb that I couldn’t warm up. I’m hoping this appliance is added because I’d like to book here again!
2. There is a bit of remodeling/construction going on in the backyard which is kind of dangerous to walk around in at night with gaping holes in the ground HOWEVER the motion sensor lights allow you to see everything. But again if someone is drunk they could really hurt themselves
Overall AMAZING EXPERIENCE
