The well-appointed, quirky home was fun to use as our home base in NOLA. The surrounding neighborhood was a little worn from street construction and dirty with garbage. The owners can’t control others, and we appreciated that. It just soiled the charm a bit.
The only concern we had was addressed overnight by the hosts: The entry door was damaged by a prior user and needed repair. It was not secure. We viewed this as a personal safety issue. The host’s contact number rolled to a voicemail with a full mailbox. We were able to use the emergency contact information to communicate with the hosts. The front door should have been repaired before we arrived.
Even with a bit of a rough start, we were able to enjoy our lovely temporary home and would lease it again. It was comfortable, located near a Ruby Slipper Restaurant (yum!) and a couple blocks from the Canal St streetcar.
