Loud, loud, loud. It should be stated as clearly as possible, this unit sits a sidewalk width away from the major traffic corridor feeding the French Quarter. There is a 6 lane surface street right outside the front door, and a 6 lane Interstate just above that. The noise of the traffic was unbearable, loud music from cars and party busses shook the unit until we left at 3am to find other accommodations.
•When we booked the unit we told the host we were looking for a "quiet" place to rest before a wedding, they confirmed the booking anyway knowing this is not a quiet place (there is a pile of earplugs next to the bed).
•We first reported the noise at 10:30pm and the host told us that the unit was fully disclosed to be "high noise potential", during this communication she was short, rude, and condescending
•At midnight we reported that the Air Conditioning was not working in the unit, a fact she later disputed as being operator error, and threatened to charge us for the service call
•At 3am we left because it was still 78 degrees and so loud that neither myself nor my girlfriend (who can sleep through anything) were able to sleep.
We were forced to find other accommodations in the middle of the night on a busy holiday weekend, only to wake up 4 hours later, to messages from the host stating that she was changing the lock codes, securing the property and would be seeking to bill us for the AC service call.
I'm certain the unit is a good fit for some, who enjoy the loud party scene, constant noise, etc. The unit is well appointed, the parking lot is a great touch, and the location to the quarter is a short walk. However, for us, this experience was a nightmare, not soon forgotten.
