Victor has done a lovely job in renovating and maintaining the home. We had an okay stay and wanted to provide a candid review of our experience.
LOCATION— on the edge of the Garden District and closer to the expressway but walkable to the French Quarter and downtown museums. We used the security alarm during our stay. The surrounding streets were well lit at night. The window blind remotes were unreliable and made our stay feel a bit less safe as they could not be manually operated.
PROS—Everything was impeccably clean inside, it was quiet at night, and the bed was very comfortable. Plenty of outlets were available throughout the home, and the kitchen was fully updated. The architecture was lovely.
CONS— There were a few essentials missing we had been expecting from the listing which we had to purchase or borrow from other Airbnb’s during our stay (hair dryer, adequate hand soap, body wash). The host did provide a hair dryer upon request; however this mismatch in the listing versus the experience added unanticipated stress, errands and expenses to the visit. Additionally, we found the flooring to be somewhat uneven due to the age of the home, and would caution someone staying in the home with mobility or balance issues. The use of Tide detergent on linens was problematic for us and would be for other guests with common skin sensitivities.
