as many ppl mentioned, "you get what you paid for" but i think that is putting it nicely. honestly i dont think this room is good for anyone to stay in. i wouldn't feel comfortable having my friend stay in a room like this for free.
gwen is nice and responsive but i am not sure she knows how to run an airbnb well. this room needs a lot of work. half the light switches don't work, the closets are literally boarded up, and it's really dusty/dirty. the clean towels are in a dusty bin, what's the point? it provides the bare minimum to what you need. you cant control the AC so you're stuck with that temp and the sheets are too warm to use and too cold not to use. bed is nice.
at first, it's not ideal but it was cheap, so i just tolerate it, but after it rained on our last night there, there were swarms of bugs coming into the room. the windows and the doors were closed. i've flagged it to gwen, the host, but she just brushed it off and said the bugs are everywhere in new orleans during may and june and that's how it is but i cant imagine having THIS MANY BUGS in a hotel. the room is not kept well so possibly maybe it's the windows or somewhere isn't sealed properly because they came in SWARMS. mostly in the bathroom but a lot were found in the room when we woke and some on our beds.
location is 20 min walk from french quarters, which is nice and flat during the day, but the area itself has nothing and near an overpass. it is inconvenient to go to and from at nights. you'll need to take a lyft.
