General info: Our family of four stayed in this apartment for 5 nights. Some of the things we found annoying or frustrating may not bother a couple of people who are out partying all night. This is a house that has been sub-divided into several small apartments.
Whoever is running this business really could improve the whole operation.
Pros: Location is close to French Quarter (5min walk) and just a couple of blocks to catch the 91 bus to other neighborhoods and art museum. .
We appreciated being in a neighborhood, away from touristy traps.
The bed was comfortable.
Cons:
Really poor communication from the owner. We had to make a few attempts to reach Mark to get the code to get into the unit- after the 4pm check-in time - and then we were finally turned over to another person, who was there cleaning and showed us to our unit, which led to problem #2…..
We were put in the wrong unit… this led to us being called back to the house in the middle of our first night out in NoLA, so we could pack up our stuff and move downstairs, where another group of weary travelers were waiting to get into the space they had booked. 🙄
The unit had the BARE minimum.
There was a not a single cup, mug or glass in the unit. There is no table and chair.
So even though you have a kitchen, don’t plan to make anything in it or have a drink of anything. To make matters worse, I messaged Mark about this on first night, and he responded that some would be brought over…. Nothing ever arrived.
The unit was not adequately cleaned.
There were dishes in the dishwasher from previous guests. The sofa bed had a used fitted sheet on it when we pulled the bed out, and we had no clean fitted sheet to place on the mattress.
The pull-out sofa bed has the worst, most uncomfortable mattress I have ever experienced. It is really only fit for a couple of small children…. Anyone else is going to suffer.
I briefly considered cancelling and moving to a different place after the first night, but couldn’t be bothered to spend valuable vacation time on that process.
