So overall, the condo was a mixed review for us. First, the positives:
- Krystal and Mandy are excellent at responding to questions or concerns about the room prior to the trip
- The condo's location was easy to get to and from the airport, and is centrally located to where it's within walking distance from the French Quarter
- The bed is uber comfortable
- The condo offered some nice accommodations such as bottled water and coffee k-cups
- The management team has a partnership with a local business that allowed us to drop our luggage off before check in and after check out. That made it very convenient to go out and explore while not having to lug our gear around
That said, there are some reasons why we can't fully give this five stars:
- The shower was near inoperable on the first use. The handle broke off, making it a challenge to regulate the temperature and water pressure. Plus the shower had a very slow drain, to where after five minutes, it had an inch of standing water at the bottom of the bin. We did notify the hosts when it first happend and they did try and send a repair man to fix it within five minutes, but we were not dressed and couldn't let him into the room.
- And while this is not under the control of the hosts, it should be noted the condo is near a church where the chimes go off starting at 7 am, and continue chiming every 15 minutes (like an old school grandfather clock). So it may make sleeping in quite a challenge, especially if you're hitting the french quarter hard the night before.
Overall, the place is ok and did the trick for staying two nights prior to our cruise, but there are some things that should be noted and addressed.
