I grew up a block off of St. Charles on First St just blocks from this place. I know the neighborhood and am not naive to the dangers of New Orleans. With that, I also know that terrible things happen in dimly lit places. There was no light at the entrance of the building and with a house full of women, that poses a terrific danger. Windows that do not close or lock are also potential for break ins, especially when we witnessed a drug deal interaction directly in front of the house. Again, not naive, just a desire to be safe. The overwhelming stench of cat urine was also a deal breaker. We discovered dirty/stained sheets in one of the bedrooms and a bra and t-shirt in one of the beds. That certainly does not give off a good sense of cleanliness leading one to question if the sheets were even changed. There was laundry in the dryer and closets filled with junk and the main hvac vent was filled dust and dirt, not allowing for proper ventilation. This stay was not in the cards for our group. We did not stay here. Communication was terrible before we began the trip. The host mentions being able to get tickets, etc. but when asked… no response.
