I stayed in the home for a month so keep that in mind. You might have different needs for just a weekend. I'll start with what was good: the location near Tulane was perfect; parking was never a problem; the deck is really nice; there is a soft bed and a hard bed - both are comfortable; large space with wonderful decor and comfortable furniture; bonus bedroom; fairly well stocked kitchen for two to three people; big dining table; the owner was flexible and let me bring my food in before check-in time; she was flexible and allowed me to have my kids stay with me for short times; it is a lovely 100 year old cottage; heating and AC worked great; loved the table in the kitchen.
The bad: the owner smoked in the home all the time, she didn't communicate very well and at the end of my stay I was informed that she has short term memory problems which would have been good to know from the get go, the door was locked when I was supposed to check in causing a bit of consternation (she eventually unlocked it); I wasn't supposed to change the thermostat but I was there for a month with temperatures ranging from 35 to 80 degrees. I felt bad every time I switched it from AC to heat and hoped that it was ok; the big aluminum trash can in the kitchen was unsanitary so I bought a new trash can; very few cleaning items so I bought some to keep the place clean - like swiffer pads, glass cleaner, counter cleaner; I should have read the description better. I thought entire home meant that I had the entire home but if I had read the description more closely I would have understood that the owners live there as well and there is an interior door with a chain lock in between; I had to deliver the mail that came in through the front door to the owner under the interior separating door (not a big deal but I wasn't sure if I should do that and the owner never responded when I asked if that was ok); the bathtub/shower is difficult to get in and out of if you have any mobility issues; there is a motion light on the neighbors house that is essentially a spot light into the bedroom (bring eye covers); there is a loud HVAC beside one of the bedrooms sounding like someone is vacuuming in your room (bring ear plugs).
