Billy's place, and also his lack of communication when we were facing problems (with wifi, hot water, cleanliness), were both a major disappointment. We wish we didn't choose this place for our long-awaited stay in New Orleans, and do not recommend it.
The main problem was that the house was noticeably not clean. There were hairs and nail clippings strewn about, from previous guests. There was lots of dust and debris; the whole place was really not very clean. Also the linens had marks and stains on them.
Secondly, the hot water in the shower did not work, it was only running cold. When we tried to contact Billy about it, he did not respond. The shower also flooded regardless of whether or not the hair catcher was in place, having us stand in over an inch of cold water while taking a shower.
Lastly, the wifi was not working and I was on a deadline for work, and was not able to send emails that I needed to send. Billy also did not respond to this when I contacted him about this. Because of all these reasons, we left Billy's place and have checked into a hotel, bearing the extra expense and time. We are very disappointed that this place did not live up to these basic expectations - functional hot water, wifi and cleanliness - as it was advertised.
I don't recommend this place for this reason, and truly wish we chose differently so that we could have had much better time in New Orleans without facing all these problems and not having basic accommodation needs met.
