My husband and I booked a last minute trip for our spring break. Kay was a great host, very quick to respond and let us check in earlier than the listed time. The house itself was nice enough, I wouldn’t say it was anything special but it has everything you need. It is very cute. The bed wasn’t too bad, and we are very picky about beds. You can easily watch Netflix as well, which is nice. Most things you would want to do (French Quarter, Magazine street, Garden District, city park) would be a 10 minute drive or so. Seems too far for a walk.
With all that said, my husband and I were surprised at the area this house is in. Part of it is our fault as we didn’t do much research about the surrounding neighborhood before booking. It seems very run down. I understand that a lot of the New Orleans area can be sketchy in parts, but to be honest, we did not feel very safe here at night. There are a lot of random people waking around on the sidewalks in front of the house doing drugs and drinking alcohol. Maybe this is normal for that area, but we did not necessarily feel safe. Personally, I would not stay in this area alone as a female.
The only thing we disliked about this house is the neighborhood and that is not Kay’s fault! He was a great host and would book with him again if he opened up a listing in a different area. Overall, we really enjoyed our trip!
