This is a "plus" Airbnb. I don't think I agree with that. While there were some good things about the place, the bad outweighed, leaving a stale taste in my mouth and disappointment.
Good things:
The location! Great location. Right by Magazine Street and directly across the street from a bar. Lots of great businesses around in walking distance, and an uber anywhere was cheap.
The beds! Oh my so comfy! Great linens with soft pillow and mattress.
The decorations are cool. Neat couch, cool table, and the plates and glassware are pretty.
The Bad:
Two roaches welcomed us to the space. Right when you walk in. Not great.
Loud music ALL day! I'm not sure if it's coming for the restaurant close by or what, but you could hear music from 8 am to about 2 or 3 am every day.
The lights. The lights in the bathroom didn't work, leaving it not well lit. Two lights were out.
The shower. The entrance/exit is blocked by the toilet. You have to bend funny to get in and out. If you aren't able bodied, this would be very hard.
There is no water, or water receptacle to keep cool water in. Its HOT in NOLA and not even the running water came out cool! The water was warm everywhere but the shower! The shower water was lukewarm.
Water damage. So there is a hole in the floor that was hidden by a plant. The floor bowed around the hole, and maintenance men came into the unit while I was staying there. I totally get emergencies happen, but it seems like the hosts were aware of this leak that then spilled water alllll over the entrance downstairs. The hole was there and hidden when we arrived, so I wonder how long the water leak was a thing. It was stressful and annoying to have to deal with maintenance people on behalf of the hosts/landlords.
There is NO coffee. I know that isn't required, but in a "plus" stay that had realllly nice coffee machines, why no coffee? They had nothing welcoming. No coffee, no bottled or refrigerated water.
Dirty dishes! I thought there weren't a lot of glasses, turns out they were all dirty in the dishwasher from the previous renter. What else didn't they clean?
The bathroom door knob was also broken, not attached, and I feared of getting stuck in the bathroom if I closed the door all the way.
There was a dirty cup in the hallway that remained there my entire visit.
The patio is not much at all. There was trash on the patio, and it doesn't drain. Perhaps that's the leak source? The floor outside remained wet for days after rain.
There is so much that I really don't feel upheld the standards of an airbnb, much less a "plus".
I get emergencies happen, but this leak was obviously known about before we checked in. Things weren't cleaned properly, and COCKROACHES are just unacceptable!
