David’s place is conveniently located, a short 10-25 min walk to dozens of great restaurants and popular New Orleans destinations such as the French Quarter. Neighborhood is relatively quiet and we didn’t have any issues with finding street parking immediately in front of the unit.
The unit has an old build, so paint, trimmings, amenities and/or furnishings are not numerous or high quality but we didn’t have any drastic issues with anything. If you’re just looking for a place to sleep far from the crowd, this is a decent value.
Some of the apartment highlights include the mattress (very comfortable!) but I would recommend bringing your own pillows as the ones provided did not provide support and truly made a disservice to the mattress in my experience. We also appreciated having a small outside garden but it did not have clear boundaries/rules posted so we were unsure as to how much we could explore or use without bothering neighbors. Nonetheless it was a nice to have!
Lastly, we had some issues accessing the unit (door and deadbolt were very old, loose, and didn’t unlock without some serious jostling) but the owner was immediately available via phone to help out which was nice.
All in all, this unit has a very responsive host and would be ideal for a single/couple looking for a simple and inexpensive place to crash far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
