This was my first time staying in an Airbnb. Kitty's place was amazing!! It looks exactly like the pictures and was very clean. There were plenty of towels and washcloths, which was good because I am a messy bathroom person. Under the sink were makeup remover wipes, sunscreen and q-tips. I brought my own sunscreen, but knowing there was some in the loft just in case was great. The kitchen is very nice although I don't use kitchen's much on vacation besides for beverages because I don't want to have to clean up. While Kitty had real dishes, there were also plastic cups which I definitely used. The couch is comfortable too. Location is spot on! The street the loft is on leads right to Canal Street and Bourbon. I literally walked everywhere in the French Quarter. Check in instructions were clear and easy.
As a female traveling by myself, the security of the building is what made me book with Kitty. And the security is perfect! I felt safe on the street and in the building.
The street car does drive directly in front of the loft. However the noise didn't bother me at all. The street car kind of sounded like thunder in the distance. Not an issue for me, but if you are a light sleeper this may not be the best option. The street car drives by about every 20 minutes.
Just FYI for people who like to sleep with the TV on it watch TV in bed, you won't be able to as there is only one TV and it's in the living room.
All the furniture was great and in really good condition. The only thing I would change is to add an ottoman. I tend to put my feet up when sitting on a couch. That's just my personal preference though. NOT a deal breaker at all.
I only had one issue the whole time but I didn't get to tell Kitty because my schedule was hectic. The issue was the iron. It leaks water from the top if you move too fast. Which I found out after water came out onto my silk shirt. Also the silver plate on the iron was broken in 2 spots. The top of the iron and a bottom corner. I didn't notice the bottom corner until it snagged the pants I was ironing and it tore a whole in them. I was annoyed but the pants were from Target so not too big of a deal as they will be easy to replace. This issue did NOT effect my trip at all. Just noting so Kitty can replace the iron.
Great host! Great place! Great location! Safe building! I would definitely stay again. May be as soon as next year if our plans for Jazz Fest pan out 😀
