I had a lovely stay. Take the negative reviews with a grain of salt, this place is not for everyone. Keep in mind that this house is nearly 200 years old, yes there is peeling wallpaper in places, a bit of water damage in places that don't really matter, but I didn't care so much. It was comfortable, clean, and the host is very friendly.
I suggest giving the host a call before you come all the way out here, because while I was ten minutes away, I hadn't gotten a text back, so I called her, but she hadn't known I was coming. Her daughter had the schedule, so I was safe once she found out, but I won't lie, that gave me a bit of a frighten, but that is the only negative feedback I have.
Some things that are not the host's fault but that guests should keep in mind, there is a shady overpass a block away from her house that is on the way to the French Quarter, it basically separates Treme from the Quarter. I walked passed it just fine during the day, and even once after dark when it was still early, but best not to walk around there by yourself if it's really late. Coming from the airport, the Lyft driver told me to be careful under there. I was only there for the French Quarter, so I had no reason to go north of the house, but there is an abandoned house another Lyft driver told me to avoid because there are addicts that frequent it. We were only driving past it after a night out so I wouldn't have gone by there otherwise. Also, right next door is another abandoned house, it looks broken into, but it doesn't look like anyone or anything was living inside of it, so I wouldn't worry about it. I walked past it by myself just fine every day. Again, none of this is on the host, just the surrounding area, but the neighbors are very friendly, people down here are friendly in general, no one bothered me, so just avoid those two places and you'll be fine.
Everything is within walking distance from Gwen's house, it was clean, comfortable, and warm, that is all I needed and so I am very happy with my stay here. I would book again in the future.
In regards to some other negative comments I have seen, no there are no plates or cutlery, I suggest getting disposable ones, but there is a shared fridge and a stove and a microwave. The "antique junk" 🙄 is BEAUTIFUL and gives the house character, it almost felt like staying in a little museum. And no, there is no black mold, if it smells moldy or damp, that's because New Orleans is a swamp and this house is almost 200 years old, cut them some slack for that. This isn't a hotel, this is someone's home.
