You pretty much get what you pay for. I read the previous reviews good and bad and fall somewhere in the middle. The host is quick to respond and communicates well, however the photos shown here are not the same place that we stayed!! The floors, front door, kitchen, furniture, etc.... everything is different. I did expect high humidity in NOLA even in the winter so things of course are going to sweat inside, but there’s no windows to open to get fresh air. The fans did work out fine and we just pushed the air fresheners down because they got to be too much for us. The biggest disappointment was the cleanliness of the floors (No I’m not a clean freak, but with the humidity and things sweating in the condo then to have black/dirty feet...) Everything else seemed to be picked up and swept but the fake wood paneling floors left our socks and feet black by the end of the night and we even left our shoes by the door. We ended up sweeping and mopping up the floors a couple times while we were there then they were fine. Water pressure for the shower was not good and it takes at least 10 mins to get warm water so turn it on well in advance. The cleanliness of the tub and bathroom were fine but towel and toilet paper bars need to be hung again, both were off the wall. Host said he would get a new toilet paper holder right away since previous guests broke it but we said we were fine so hopefully it was fixed or he bought a new one after we left. And towel bar or hooks would have been nice.
The neighbors dogs do bark every time someone walks by but it’s not the hosts fault. These poor dogs are stuck outside and I wish the city would do something about it. It’s not a place to have outdoor dogs and they can seem viscous when barking and showing teeth.
This place worked for what we needed. We stayed there with 3 adults and a child and all was fine. Just don’t expect anything fancy or really clean.
