The apartment is big and spacious. Has all the basic amenities one would need. Ideally located if you plan on going to the stadium. The host was very responsive with our questions and concerns. The location is good for those who like to explore and walk.
However, if you have small children/elderly/ mobility issues and wish to see more of the French quarter etc it’s a little over a mile walk. If you a not familiar with the area or the transportation system (like us) it can be a bit of a challenge. The “downtown” area seems to cover a wide millage area.
The area is very close to the freeway and overpasses - so it’s quite noisy- so light sleepers be warned. The views are mainly of the stadium and the freeway/overpasses. There is a nice supermarket just down the street, as well as a cafe and restaurant.
Our main issues was how clean the apartment was. We understand that there were renters before us and the time frame is short, however we have stayed in many rentals and this has not been a issue before. Sheets and towels were just thrown upon shelves or in draws ( hard to tell what was clean). Drier was full of the previous renters towels etc. There was stains on some of the bedding - (looked like grease). The sofa bed was filthy - food etc. We did let the host know and he attempted to rectify some of these issues. He has also stated he will refund our cleaning fee.
We did appreciate the host’s communication.
