Upon first glance, we were really happy with our stay at Algiers Point in New Orleans. The apartment was small but cozy, definitely well decorated. Location was great and we really enjoyed staying in the neighborhood. Check in was also easy. However, as a renovation and DIY enthusiast, I started noticing red flags about the quality of the apartment, typical things you would find in flipped houses. I definitely do not trust the wiring in this place when a ton of major appliciances including the fridge, microwave, and two electric heaters are on the same circuit - it's not safe. The shower is poorly built and not chalked in properly. Doors are not sealed properly and daylight poors in around the edges, not to mention you can hear everything outside. Early in the stay I saw what looked to be pest feces of some sort but everything else looked picked up and cleaned so I didn't make a big stink of it. Come to the last night of our stay we found a cockroach before the sun went down. I understand they are more common in the south, but I had to dig around and see what the cause of the pest was. Lo and behold I find a pile of rotting food behind the fridge, maggots, and more. The pest feces I found the day before I identified as cockroach feces. This is absolutely unacceptable to me and I contacted the host immediately. Their response was that they take precautions with monthly pesticide treatments, but if they were really taking precautions they would make sure the apartment was PROPERLY cleaned. After trying to discuss refund options with them they promptly ignored my last message. Not professional. Only interesting in charging you a ridiculous price for what amounts to a motel quality stay - heck I've stayed at cleaner motels.
