The Mistress was absolutely the perfect place to stay while my husband, myself and a friend were visiting New Orleans. The home was beautifully decorated, comfortable, spotless, and in a great location. We were just a quick trolley ride or $6-8 uber to all the hot spots in the French Quarter. We had no issues whatsoever with noise. The digital lock system is so convenient. The beds were beyond comfortable, and we loved sitting on the balcony in the evenings. There was everything we could possibly need, down to sunscreen and toiletries for us to use, which was so thoughtful. I would recommend this space 100% to family and friends, and I would definitely want to stay here again.
My only issue was the lack of communication from our host. When we fist considered booking with her in April, I messaged her with a few questions about the location and details on her place. I got no response, just an invitation/approval to book. Since we needed to book early, I booked the trip anyway. In late July, I messaged Lauren again with a question and still got no response from her. The week before our trip, I had a death in the family and needed to shift our trip over one day on each end, so I texted her number explaining the situation and letting her know that I was requesting to alter the trip slightly. Although she did press the button to accept the alteration, she still did not send a reply. My husband texted her the day before our trip asking about dropping our bags off a couple hours early, and she DID respond to that message, graciously allowing us to do so, but this was the only time we received any type of response to our messages and questions. I have never experienced this from a host, and I was surprised seeing as she is listed as a super host. Hopefully this is a fluke thing, as everyone else seems pleased with her level of communication. It just made me uneasy leading up to our trip as I am a planner and expect communication from my hosts.
