Gabrielle was awesome and super sweet and helpful. The morning of checkin she called and said there was a plumbing issue from the last guests, but that she was taking care of it and we should still be able to check in on time. When we got there, she personally introduced herself and gave us some extra garbage bags and said that everything should be fine with the plumbing, but she has the property next door in case and we can stay there if need be. She always answered any questions I had and sent me some extra info throughout our stay.
Some complaints I have: my boyfriend and I (who are in our mid twenties) spent hours searching for an Airbnb close enough to the center of New Orleans to walk so we wouldn’t have to spend ridiculous amounts of money on a hotel. This place is definitely in walking distance of almost everything, but i find it a little disingenuous to not mention how dangerous the neighborhood is. Every single Lyft driver that took us back mentioned that we shouldn’t walk around by ourselves; once we were walking in the morning and the neighbor across the street told us we should be walking the other way because the way we were walking was so dangerous. That was really scary and we felt like we had been lied to.
Another thing is, though there was a laundry machine, iron, full vanity, bathtub and shower, coffee machine with cups, etc, there was no basic amenities like ... hand soap. or dish detergent to reuse our mugs. or laundry detergent. all there was were 2 hairdryers and a bottle of lotion. We flew, so we couldn’t bring laundry detergent with us, although probably wouldn’t have thought to need it anyway! We ended up picking some up and some bar soap and leaving it for the next guests. There’s a Family dollar nearby — but again — you can’t walk there at night because it’s too dangerous!
