not the worst place ever, but not somewhere we will return... my family stayed here for Tulane family weekend, and this home just gets an OK at best
the positives:
location is PERFECT, quiet neighborhood, plenty of street parking
all 4 king sized beds were very comfy, good pillows, extra blankets
enough toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, laundry detergent, kitchen essentials (S&P), etc. to get you through a weekend - which is very nice! also kitchen has plenty of dishes, cookware, etc.
the problems:
1. the property is generally neglected/tired/run down - the fence is falling down, doors are falling off the kitchen cabinets, the couches are stained & sagging, the barstools jiggle & wiggle, the ice maker freezes up, etc.
2. the property is surface clean only - the floors are swept, but your feet/socks are black at the end of the night, there are fans provided in the bedrooms, but there is no way you'd turn them on because there's an inch of dust caked on the blades, there is debris in drawers and under beds, etc.
3. we had no functional showers the first 24 hours+ of our stay (the shower rod broke in one bathroom and the shower head was broken in the other); the owner/manager seemed to not believe me, telling me the cleaning crew had checked these things after the previous rental, but he would try to get by to take a look when he had time the following day; we were left to shower in the one bathroom with no curtain, then clean up that mess ourselves; I had to ask again about the owner/manager attending to the problem, then had to follow up a third time to learn that he had indeed come by and made the repairs; so the lack of communication, let alone an apology for the inconvenience, was a problem
4. the house does not meet ADA guidelines; YOU MUST GO UP STAIRS TO ENTER THIS HOUSE (I don't think this is even mentioned in the listing); the primary entrance, per the owner/manager's instructions, is through the back door - there is no handrail for these stairs, just a set of floating concrete steps; additionally the front stairs are obstructed by an overgrown bush and the light above them is out; very difficult to maneuver for those with sight difficulties
I would also caution future renters that the owner/manager required a COPY of my drivers license the day prior to my check in; the house rules note that a license is required, so I assumed that this would mean my license would be checked and returned (in person or via FaceTime) as it is at nearly every hotel check in; I did alert Airbnb to this practice and was told it would be investigated, but as a verified renter who has submitted my documents to Airbnb, I cannot fathom why the owner/manager would need a COPY of my personal information; when I asked him, he was pointed and aggressive in his response; however, it was too late to secure alternate reservations
overall, if you just need clean comfortable beds in this spot, but don't really HAVE to have a shower and know for sure you'll be sober enough to get up the steps every night, this may be your house - LOLOL!! otherwise, I'd skip this one...
