What the pictures don’t show is the need for a new cleaning service. Despite the house being so close to downtown New Orleans and a host who is relatively responsive, the house and its front yard were not cared for much. If you’re looking for a place to sleep while you drink your way around the city, this is your place. But being it’s surrounded by a maximum security prison and is a duplex with paper thin walls, this would not be a pick for families or anyone with excellent cleanliness expectations. It’s almost too affordable and now I know why.
