Muse in the lower garden is a lovely classic New Orleans style house with all the character you could ask for. Place was clean and clean sheets blankets and pillows provided. There was soap and shampoo also provided. The place really has a lot of charm.

The renters stay upstairs and their room leads out into the courtyard patio. The noise level of us talking outside was too much for them as we were asked to be quiet multiple times. We weren't being that loud, but we were enjoying ourselves on vacation. There were 6 of us. Because we were asked multiple times at various times of the day and night to be quiet, we felt unwelcome and as though we were crashing at someone's house instead of renting a unit for vacation. On top of that the owners have two dogs that are very loud in the morning. The entire experience in that sense left much to be desired as we were there celebrating 3 birthdays and Halloween and couldn't even use the courtyard patio comfortably to smoke. We resorted to crossing the st every time we wanted a cig which was awkward and inconvenient. In the middle of our stay we were robbed at gunpoint at 2am right outside the gate to the unit. While this isn't the owners fault it did happen, but other than that the area felt very safe. We also saw cockroaches of all sizes both in and outside of the unit. Not infested, but one would scurry across the concrete or the floor of the unit at least once a day. I chalked that up to the humidity and being in a swamp so it wasn't a deal-breaker but I was scared of stepping on one. We caught a couple that were almost the size of a small first!

The set up is a little weird, as people have to walk thru another bedroom to get to the one bathroom. I'd suggest only booking this unit of you are a family or are very close friends.

And also don't plan to use the courtyard patio as a place to hang out. Actually don't plan using it at all. The inclusion of this in the listing is very misleading.
