Pros:
>Location is great. You’re downtown in the French quarter.
>Noise level. Even with all the partying going on, the street noise did not travel into our room.
>Clean. We walked in and the room smelled clean, looked clean and felt clean.
>Heater. It got pretty cold while we were here so it was nice to be able to control the temperature.
>We’ll decorated. The room had a lot of cute and local decor
Cons:
>No elevator. They do mention this in the description. However if my boyfriend wasn’t with me, it would have sucked to hall my suitcase up three flights of stairs.
>No comforter. They only had sheets on the bed, so it got pretty cold a couple of nights.
>Misleading. The photos don’t exactly give the most accurate description of the apartment. There was a large part of the wall (2sqft) peeling off due to water damage. It’s also a lot more worn in general then what the pictures display. A lot of the flooring trim isn’t finished and is sharp if you walk around barefoot.
>Plumbing. The shower took roughly 8 minutes just to warm up. Then the shower would have about 3” of standing water by the time you got in it. The kitchen sink also had very minimal water pressure.
We understand these building are old however, this building in particular seems like it’s in need of a lot of TLC. We think it would have been more worth the extra $40/night to sleep in a hotel, we were just hoping to get a more authentic New Orleans experience. The room served its purpose but the photos online are definitely misleading.
