PROS
- The location can’t be beat. If you want to stay in the French Quarter, it is hard to argue with this location. An easy walk almost anywhere.
- The balcony was great for people watching and having an afternoon drink.
- We received clear communication regarding check in from the hosts.
CONS
- We had a lot of issues with the guests staying upstairs. We understand that it is New Orleans and an older building, so noise is inevitable. We also don’t expect everyone to abide by the posted quiet hours, but we’re hoping people would be more respectful after midnight. However, there was drinking in the common areas and guests blasting music between midnight and 4am, making it difficult to sleep. We had beer cans, cigarette butts, and trash on our balcony on the mornings and were hit with beads that the guests upstairs threw at people on the street. We contacted the host through the Airbnb message portal and called the after hours number and, although a security guard was eventually sent, the noise did not stop. I totally understand that the hosts cannot control the behavior of the guests, but it felt like while they were sympathetic, they ultimately did not care if the issue was resolved.
