Our stay was different than the usual tourist, as we were visiting family nearby and simply needed a place to keep our things and to sleep. We were not there to take advantage of the Magazine Street shops and restaurants, or the ease of downtown transport that this location offers.
The Positive:
Very economically priced for this location
Washer / Dryer in bedroom
Full bath with tub
Functional kitchen
Clear check in /check out directions (we never met the host in person, but very nice on the phone clarifying a mix-up on arrival).
The Negative:
The apartment suffers from its’ basement-like structure, without any natural ventilation - adequate A/C which we use to circulate air and de-humidify. It is also very dark without natural light and insufficient lamps.
Uncomfortable bed
Cable TV without clear controls, unable to get local TV news offerings, Netflix in Spanish
