My friend and I stayed at Mac’s Cottage for an evening while in New Orleans. Overall, it was a nice place to lay our heads for the evening, but there are a few issues that need to be addressed by the host. While Mac was accommodating to us and went of his way to allow us to check in early, which we appreciated, it was evident that certain areas of the home had not been cleaned thoroughly prior to our arrival. There were crumbs on the carpet in the living room, crumbs and a used napkin in the bed, and hair in the bathtub. The drain of the bathtub really needs to be cleaned out because every time you turn on the faucet, bundles of hair float out of the drain. Another major issue we had with the home is how hot it was. If you are someone who is used to living in a colder home, this is not the place for you to stay. My friend and I were both sweating throughout our stay and slept on top of the bedding to prevent excessive sweating throughout the night. The A/C controls for the Cottage are not in the unit itself and are controlled by the host. When we messaged Mac to ask if he could turn down the A/C because we were hot, he replied as follows: “The A/C is at maximum. When it’s very hot, being a old house with high ceilings, sometimes the A/C struggles a bit.” In leaving this review, we just want to make sure people are aware of how hot the cottage is. The layout of and decorations in the cottage are very aesthetically pleasing.
