The airbnb required a lot of additional paperwork to book (ID checks, etc.). It also makes you download an app. It has a super late check-in (4pm) and when we requested an earlier check-in (which we were willing to pay a fee for, of course), we got denied. We were only requesting 15-30 minutes so we could drop off our bags to make our 4pm dinner reservation and we were still denied. They blamed housekeeping. When we got there, the floors were dirty and some paper items were not restocked so I very much doubt that was the reason. It seemed like the management company just didn't want to deal with it. It's worth staying at one of the available hotels in New Orleans (and cheaper) just for the bag check capabilities and use of amenities until you're able to check-in (which is certainly earlier than 4pm).
