Pros:
- Lovely architectural details (wood floors, tall ceilings, interior doorways with transom windows) that reflect New Orleans’ historic charm. If you’re looking for accommodations that help you savor this part of New Orleans, this apartment will be a match!
- Easy self check-in and check-out.
- The apartment appeared to have been professionally cleaned by a cleaning service.
- Multiple good restaurants - with a diverse range of cuisine from Vietnamese to hot dogs - within walking distance and a grocery store across the street.
Cons:
- I have the impression that the host is not really available if there are problems. I received a couple of communications from him that looked to have been auto-generated, but no response when we had a substantive issue. There was a broken window that was stuck in an open position when we arrived. The low temperature that night was going to be in the 30’s (Fahrenheit) - too cool for an open window. I alerted the host mid-afternoon, shortly after we'd checked in, but he never responded. My husband and I were able to wedge something in the window latch to keep it closed and fortunately our solution held overnight but had it not, I think we would have been on our own. I mentioned the window to the host again via AirBnB’s messaging system when we checked out the following morning, and again he didn’t respond.
- There was no hand soap or shower soap in the bathroom. There were tons of little shampoo and conditioner bottles, so we used a shampoo bottle for soap, but it was a strange oversight at this price point.
Just FYI:
- If you’re staying in this AirBnB for one night, the single-night cost with cleaning, service fees, taxes, etc is $425.
- This AirBnB is directly above a restaurant and on a street with multiple restaurants and nightlife options. The bedroom windows open directly onto the street, so if you’re a sound-sensitive sleeper, you will probably need earplugs.
