This place is an insult to the AirBnB community, such a listing shouldn't be allowed. I do NOT recommand to stay here and I understand reading the comments why some people choose not to stay in this place !
The basement is a junkyard with a room on one side and the "bathroom" on the other. The place is dirty there are electric cables here and there and I am not talking of the walls all moist and parasit friendly. I highly doubt this is legal ! The "furnitures" are in terrible condition and fixed with tape, the chair as holes which scratched my pants. There is no window the only way to have some air inside the room is by using a loud air conditioning unit. I have asthma and the air quality is so poor that I could not sleep. I went to Olive's house for the Thanksgiving week and when I got there I tried to find somewhere else but all the listing were gone expect a few very expensives ones. I had to stay there even if the room was a very bad experience. I really feels like Olive runs this airBnB as a business without care for the human beings there.
Also the location is not that great, yes the street car is a 5minutes walk but it is very slow and far from downtown. It would take you about 1hour to reach the French quarter from the house.
Also this room is wayyy OVERPRICED ! I paid 40 + 15 (for 1 more guest) and this is definitly not a great deal. If you look at hostel/airbnb a few weeks in advance you can find nicer places (I doubt you can find worst anyway) in the same price range.
To sum up this place is outrageous and overpriced. If it was 10$ for the night and you don't mind living in a junckyard it may have been "ok".
I really hope such kind of listing will be forbidden one day, this ruins the airBnB reputation.
