The location of the property is situated in a central part of New Orleans, driving or cabbing it to many different areas would be 10-15 minutes as it is literally right next to Interstate 10. The neighborhood is a bit run-down but we never had any issues. There are some local supermarkets nearby or a Whole Foods that is 10 minutes away by car. The airport is roughly 20 minutes away from the property. The streets around the house are covered in potholes and the area is prone to flooding so I would check the weather while you're there and make sure you park in the driveway instead of the street.
Alvin was very communicative and checked in once in a while to make sure everything was okay. He was always available when I had questions to ask him.
The property is as pictured. It is a single-story home with 5 bedrooms and full 4 bathrooms. The house was clean when we arrived as the cleaning crew just left. One of the bathroom showers only had lukewarm water so we ended up not using that one for bathing. All other bathrooms were fine and shampoo/body wash was provided as well as a towel in each bathroom. There was one blow dryer as well. The bedrooms were good and the beds were comfortable, so no complaints there. There is a washer/dryer available to do laundry towards the back of the house.
The furniture is a bit dated around the house and the layout of the living room/dining area is a bit odd as the TV is mounted on a wall near the dining table and away from the couches which were too soft to be comfortable. We sat on the bar stools most of the time to watch television. Other than that, there are no real complaints here.
The kitchen is fully stocked with pots, pans, plates and utensils and has most of the basic cooking condiments as well as a coffee maker. There is also a microwave and dishwasher in the kitchen.
Overall the property was good if you don't mind the neighborhood. We rented a car so it made it more convenient to go out whenever we wanted or just to go pick up some things and there was a place to park the car when we came back. The price is a bit on the high side considering the location and condition. I would consider staying at Alvin's property again because of the number of bedrooms/bathrooms.
