Generally a good place to stay. Sky was flexible and had good communication during the booking and checkin process.
The two main issues we had while staying there were cleanliness and noise.
As for cleanliness, the floors were quite dirty when we arrived, with visible dust/dirt sticking to our feet, and there was a good amount of debris under the couch cushions (they slid out when we were sitting on them, so we saw that). We didn’t bring the cleanliness issues to Sky’s attention, as the rest of the place seemed clean enough. We did ask to check in early and were able to check in 1.5 hours early, so perhaps the cleaning service did not have adequate time to clean.
The bigger issue was that we had noisy neighbors for the last two nights (Airbnb guests on the other side of the duplex). The first night, the noise woke us up 5x throughout the night, and I had to call the police station to file a noise complaint. I was able to get a hold of Sky the next day (he was understandably asleep when I tried to contact him at night), who talked to the other tenants about being more considerate. The second night was better, as we used earplugs, but they still managed to wake us up once. When I initially brought these concerns up to Sky, he was apologetic and communicative, but when I updated him to let him know that the neighbors had still woken us up at night, he did not respond. He also did not send any checkout instructions, which is fine, but it was strange to have no communication from him after telling him about our poor experience.
There was also a tenant neighbor earlier during our stay who was smoking marijuana on the porch, but that seems to be quite common in NOLA.
Overall, the place was comfortable and at a convenient location. It didn’t seem to be the nicest or safest area, but it was a pretty good value for the price. If more thorough cleaning and a stricter noise policy was enforced, I think this would have been an amazing stay.
