Here is a list of everything wrong we experienced during our stay:
Room not ready at stated check in time
Trash left inside upon arrival
Floor soaking wet, later found out it flooded earlier in the day from thunderstorm. Host requested we stuff a towel to seal the bottom crack for rain later in the day. There were also multiple cracks along window seals, not allowing to close fully
Multiple spots of unfinished drywall, including a hole exposing HVAC wiring and interior to outside air
WiFi signal not strong enough to reach our room or TV. We offered resolutions, such as resetting the router. After multiple hours, dealing with a clueless household caretaker and essentially being blown off by host, the best he could offer was blaming our devices/service as he claimed this had never happened before. He said he could come look at it in the morning if needed, but we would already be checkout out by then!
HVAC unit quit working mid-stay
No comforter on bed, just a thin sheet
The bathroom is newly redone, but the shower’s water pressure is lack luster, heat runs out very quickly and grouting is unfinished
Be advised:
Pictures and amenities listed on air bnb are misleading. Gives a different image than how the property is actually structured, as well as furniture not present. Be aware you won’t be able to make large meals in this private kitchen, but you do have access to the main house (a space other private rooms share). Fireplaces are boarded up so don’t get excited about that. It says breakfast is provided which is not something we were expecting but it’s definitely not...?
The two positives were the bed itself was very comfortable and the location is on a beautiful street very accessible to many “hot areas” of NO (just a few blocks from Bourbon St).
Overall, this property does not provide for comfortable living. Nothing but issues upon arrival, which the host did little to nothing to help with. I understand this is a building of older architecture and history, but it is not maintained well enough to serve as a quality air bnb. There are many other wonderful options in New Orleans I’d choose. Would not stay again.
