We elected to stay in an Arbnb instead of hotel. We wanted to rent a car to drive across Lake Pontchartrain (Bucket List).
The hotels I looked into charged quite a bit for parking and for the same price, we could have a little more space.
This cute condo is a 2 Bed/2Bath. It also included a parking spot for a mid-size vehicle. It is located in a nice, quite neighborhood. And we really enjoyed the outdoor sitting area.
We slept in the middle room. The bed was centered on the wall with an end table on either side. Unfortunately, the host uses each of the bedroom closets for storage. Neither closet can be utilized by guests. There was a beautiful wardrobe in the back bedroom but we preferred to sleep in the first room. Maybe we should have stored clothes in the 2nd bedroom? Instead, we each used the large table in the first bedroom as a suitcase stand & made do.
The living room was cute but we sure missed our own set up when we tried to watch a few episodes on Netflix. We used the dining room chairs as leg rests.
We live in a very dry climate. We understood that this was going to be unlike what we're used to. We were prepared for the smell of humidity in homes. I brought glade plug-ins and an oil diffuser.
Really, the only issue we had was upon arrival. The person hired to clean simply failed to do the job. Not only was it not thorough, it really did seem like besides emptying the trash bins, nothing else was done. At first, it seemed dirty from sitting vacant. But as we cleaned, the aromatherapy kicked-in and we began to feel very comfortable there.
I really think that this is a cute place/nice property. It has had a few upgrades but could use a few more.
Before we left, I washed ALL of the bedding, towels, and bath mats. I cleaned both toilets, all sinks, emptied all trash bins; taking trash/recycle outside to their bins. I also ran the dishwasher that contained dirty dishes when we arrived.
Long story short, this is a really cute place. Hopefully, the host will hire a better cleaning crew.
