All the pros and all the cons to follow. But I’ll say they aren’t really “cons” just logistics to make note of:
Pros:
Great location in NOLA.
Parking is easy, free and nearby.
Comfy bed.
Very clean inside of fridge and freezer.
Space heater, ceiling fan or window A/C is all available.
Ms. Melissa communicated very clearly and was also always quick to respond.
Extra blankets, towels, shampoos, etc.
No issues with the neighborhood. Overall felt relatively safe.
“Cons” (again, not really bad, just make note - most of the following things I know Ms. Melissa doesn’t have any control over - but you can adapt if you know ahead of time):
The walls are pretty thin. Thankfully the night I stayed the neighbor was very quiet, but it’s super easy to hear other people.
You’re sleeping two feet from the front door. Bring your own fan because any time a car drives by, you’re gonna hear them!
The front door is vintage and old, and the door has no bolt lock. It’s just the handle that locks and a little chain. Definitely isn’t the most secure.
- Overall -
It has what you need, it’s not super fancy and maybe lacking in some areas, but you can absolutely make do. I’m assuming not many of you are going to NOLA to stay inside the whole time. Her place is reasonably priced and has what you might need. Ms. Melissa was easy to work with and answered all my questions in a timely manner!
