Firstly the hosts and the cat and the dogs are lovely! They were incredibly friendly and responsive and though I asked for nothing, I know they were willing to help and assist if needed. I checked out a little late and I was thankful for the flexibility. That said, here are a few things to consider before booking:
I booked this very last minute so I didn't exactly check the location as I should. If you want quick and easy access to the Quarter, this is a bit away from it. if you're relying on rideshare, many drivers do not want to drive past the bridge at a certain point so you will find yourself struggling to get ubers. If youve been here a few times, you might not mind that. it was a bit annoying but honestly I loved the neighborhood and you are very close to local eateries! A great breakfast place! The bar near the home is also more of a locals spot which is exactly what I wanted
I book air bnbs because I want to live like the locals do so I feel that comes with a certain degree of accepting a bit of grime. New Orleans is swampy and I'm leaving with several mosquito bites I know I got from staying in the room. I saw a giant roach run across the room and that did make me a bit uneasy. the pillows were pretty coarse, but I feel like that probably has to do with the weather as well. I'm not sure but bites, roaches and itchy skin don't mix well with coarse pillows imo. However, the big issue is likely an issue in most places so I'm not sure if its a mark against them really. I hate bugs but to me its part of the experience. The issue is exacerbated by the fact that the two rooms are separated so you are constantly going in and out. if you'd like to sit, you can really only do it in the bedroom or outside. Again, part of the experience.
Other than bugs, I loved my stay and would absolutely book again. The hosts are Incredibly friendly and warm and that would make me come back! Definitely a hidden gem away from the Quarter.
