We loved this place! Paula was unbelievably accommodating in adjusting our suite and our dates on short notice as our plans changed. Short version: we give this place 5 stars and would happily stay again.
Here is the long form review since it seems most of the 2BR reviews are on the 1BR listing:
Check-in was a little complicated -- I recommend you read ALL the airbnb check-in instructions carefully (i.e. including the multi-page check-in process) BEFORE attempting to check-in. Tip: stand IN the front door vestibule, turn 180 to face the street--the front door key lockbox is at c 6 ft height on the wall bump out on the left side.
While the common areas and outdoor space feel a little cluttered/overwhelming, the suite itself was clean, spacious, and full of character. High ceilings and ceiling fans in every room gave it an airy, open feel. In particular the many, many thoughtful amenities were truly refreshing given the seeming trend for airbnb spaces to offer a shell only or the barest minimum of items. The suite included essentially everything you could need to avoid hauling or purchasing basic household items for a vacation stay-- full size shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, hair dryer and plenty of extra TP in both bathrooms, a fresh roll of paper towels and ample cleaning products in kitchen, including laundry supplies, as well as coffee, filters, and coffee supplies. There were also bottles of hand sanitizer throughout both common areas and the suite, which was much appreciated.
The kitchen was stocked with plenty of dishes, eating and cooking utensils, and pans/pots et al. We did not cook extensively (mostly breakfast), but I think you could comfortably cook more involved meals with the available items. Full size refrigerator with ice-maker (clutch), dishwasher, gas stove and oven, microwave, plus washer and dryer. Ample towels and bedding throughout the suite.
The beds are EXTREMELY soft, and the one in the main suite was quite high, so do note this if it would be an issue for you. For us the comfort level was incredible, I woke up with no back pain for the first time in YEARS. Actually better than my own bed at home, I was stunned. Important details for me -- full length mirror and plenty of storage to keep your luggage out of the way.
The balcony offered little in the way of view or space, but having immediate access to an outdoor space was definitely appreciated.
Note re bathrooms--the main suite bath is a couple steps up from the living room with shutter doors. There is no lock or air vent (altho the hosts did provide air freshener). We did not have a privacy issue, possibly bc we did not use the living room heavily, but you might consider a portable white noise machine or maybe a blue tooth speaker for sound buffering. Same for upstairs bathroom, with even less door coverage. Again, not a problem for our party and did not detract from our experience at all. The bathrooms themselves were very functional and well appointed, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water.
We did not use the couch bed or turn on the TV at all, so I cannot comment on these items. Wi-fi mostly worked but was a little sketchy, if you plan to rely heavily on it you may need your own hot spot.
Having a hallway thermostat outside the suite was a little confusing, and it took me a minute to realize it might control multiple suites. It had been changed from my settings literally every time I looked at it, sometimes dramatically, and I finally gave up on it. The ceiling fans and AC bedroom units were adequate for us to regulate our suite temp, altho the weather during our stay was mostly bt 70 and 80 so not sure how more extreme temps might affect that.
Location was outstanding, literally across the street from a streetcar stop and walkable to many sites and restaurants, including magazine street and lafayette cemeteries. Overall it was very comfortable and a remarkable value, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.
