Jay is a very kind and flexible host. He communicated well with my guests and I throughout our stay. We could contact him at any time of the day and he would answer very quickly. He allowed us to change our checking in and out times as our schedules changed at the last minute with delayed flights and meeting our next hosts.
THE PROS:
- The space is large. We comfortably had 6 people stay in the three bedrooms.
- Jay provided tons of bottled water in the fridge.
- Jay gave information on a reliable taxi that he uses.
- The door is a keyless lock with a code for entry which made it very easy for multiple people to enter and exit.
- WIFI and TV were of great quality.
- Quiet family neighborhood about 15min by car to the French Quarter.
- A cab ride is only about $12 to downtown.
- The balcony was a nice touch.
- The beds were comfortable.
- AC unit and fans provided in each room.
THINGS TO NOTE
- It is easier to stay here if you have a car because it is a 10min drive from the main attractions. And the bus takes about 45minutes to an hour.
- There is a driveway but not for guests usage. Only street parking.
- The pictures are pretty accurate but note that this is an older building with modern touches.
THE CONS:
- The closet doors were not secure in the largest room. We were afraid each time we moved it that it may break. Same for the medium sized room.
- The rooms are separated by swinging shutter doors. The set closest to the kitchen were missing door knobs which made it a bit difficult to enter and exit. This style of door also allows sound to travel easily. For our family once one person was awake, everyone was because you could hear everything.
- The iron provided leaked water.
- The space could of used additional cleaning prior to coming as there was lots of dust on counters and the floor and old soap stains or calcium deposits in the bathroom and kitchen.
- The bathroom sink was clogged.
