Nicolas was very good at staying in touch, and responsive to our comments and requests. The room was what we expected: comfortable bed, and enough room for our luggage. The shower/bath is, as advertised, shared - but we didn’t really see anybody else so that wasn’t a problem! One warning: the temperature is fixed, you can’t turn those handles. And if you’re cold, the AC unit also has heating (we only discovered that the second day, ha) - there’s also a heating switch in the bathroom. There’s not much food in the kitchen but all appliances are there - we didn’t need it but just something to keep in mind if you expect there to be food.
The place was clean and easily accessible by bus or streetcar (just 3 blocks from Canal st), but it’s not super close to the touristy areas on foot in case you like to walk. The good thing it’s also close to City Park on the other end of the city, which is beautiful (and massive).
Big plus: there’s a locker for your luggage in case you arrive before check-in, or leave later than check out.
Finally: definitely go to Betsy’s for breakfast or brunch! It’s 3 blocks away and a fantastic neighborhood feel.
Would definitely stay there again!
