I booked this rental solely on it location - close to the fairgrounds for Jazz Fest. There are some cute little restaurants I wanted to explore - all within walking distance. There are a couple of markets that are well stocked with anything you need. The neighborhood is cute and quirky. It's a $10 Uber or a short walk to the bus stop. Everything I wanted and was ok with the peak pricing when I booked it.
The house is a very different matter. This is the most bare bones rental I have encountered. The pictures are accurate so I wasn't put off by how it looked but what isn't obvious in the pictures is the little things....like the maybe 5 working outlets in the entire house. The bathroom sink that takes forever to drain. The bed made up with a twin blanket on a double bed that squeaks every time you move.
The front steps are lined on both sides with planters so the handrails aren't accessible. The internet going out and the owner not communicating outside saying "Maybe it was the storm". I don't know when it was restored because we left and moved to a hotel.
I would not recommend this house during peak pricing periods. It is not worth the cost even if you want to walk to Jazz Fest.
