For the price, the Oasis was hands down the best value we could’ve gotten for the New Years Week for four people. We were not penny pinchers but definitely were able to put more money into nice experiences like an Emeril’s restaurant for dinner, bottomless brunches, tours and harbor cruises, and many nights out in the French Quarter without as big of a sting in the wallet.
The neighborhood was safe the entire time and four people were accommodated. As expected, what you pay in lower price had a few setbacks but these were laid out in many other reviews and nothing was a ‘dead surprise’, but just to help with expectations:
-two bedrooms and two full/queen beds; the bottom of bed in bedroom closest to front of house is balanced on bricks.
-no WiFi
-heat DOES work but the gas heater in the hallway takes some finagling to work and is not securely screwed to the wall
-floors are a little sticky (not from recent spills or unclean, but from age). Recommend wearing shoes or socks
-all doors shut and stay closed but may not close the entire way
-enough pots and pans and microwave and a baking oven to cook with, but would not plan many meals here due to no table or extra chairs (this was described in other reviews so was expected)
-no clothes bar in one bedroom
-there are dogs with each neighbor, who weren’t incessantly barking to the point of major issues but I could see how someone might mention in a review
-not close enough to walk to anything, including attractions, gyms, grocery or liquor stores. Our ubers were $9-12 typically over the bridge and only surged on NYE so it wasn’t bad, but just try and combine any necessity shopping trips with plentiful cvs/Walgreens in tourist areas before heading home.
In summary I would stay here again knowing the above and we had an amazing time!
