FANTASTIC location! Very close and convenient to a lot of restaurants/bars and shopping. Walking distance to Irish Channel St. Patricks Day Parade. Neighborhood is super cute (except for construction happening across the street) and we felt safe even when arriving after dark. We had a couple mishaps within first hour of checkin, but host was very responsive and handled as soon as possible the next morning. Home is exactly as pictured and clean, but I docked a couple stars for comfort.
If you are counting on the sleeper-sofa, BEWARE! It’s not for the faint of heart. Extremely uncomfortable and noisy. A simple mattress topper and maybe WD-40 would help. Front windows need some kind of opaque window covering option, not only for privacy but also to block out morning light. It was impossible to sleep-in with the morning sun shining through the front windows. Bring a sleep eye mask!
Double-wide shotgun style house... you hear EVERYTHING next door. Bring disposable earplugs and/or some type of white noise machine! I don’t feel like our neighbors were particularly noisy, but we were still awakened at 3 am with them returning from the bars and simply just walking through the house.
Overall we were satisfied with the stay, but next time I would consider other options in the same area. This is definitely still a great choice for proximity to Magazine Street, safety, and NOLA “shotgun” vibes!
