This was our first time using Airbnb. I found the process smooth and Erik’s directions easy to follow.
The house was clean and just as nice as the pictures listed. We were not expecting the tall, narrow flight of stairs to get to our section of the house after entering the front door. It wasn’t an issue for us (wife, two daughters, and myself), but just an FYI for anyone looking at the house.
The beds were comfortable, bathroom was spacious for my wife and daughter to use, and the full length mirror in the master bedroom was as a major bonus for them as we got ready for a night on the town. Seriously! The kitchen was perfect for our needs. Overall, the house has plenty of room for all of to spread out without feeling cramped and on top of each other.
Another reviewer posted about the neighborhood being sketchy. I understand their point of view the first day we were there and we used Uber to get from house to the French Quarter (Jackson Square) and back. It was around $10 each time. By the second day and seeing area more, we had no concern with neighborhood. We started using the St. Charles streetcar to get about, and e even walked to the house from the WWII museum. I highly recommend downloading the RTA GoMobile app for the streetcars.
Only negatives based on our opinions and needs: if you are a light sleeper, which my wife is, the master bedroom gets a lot street noise at night. The bunk bed bedroom didn’t get the street noise like the master bedroom and has heavy almost blackout curtains. Also, the WiFi is slow. Like 5-8 Mbps slow. My daughters complained about it daily, but considering we were not in the house that often, it wasn’t an issue for me and the Verizon signal was decent.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, and we highly recommend this house. It’s a perfectly located to the attractions of New Orleans without being in the middle of the French Quarter crowds and craziness. Parking on the street in front of the house. Close to public transportation and it took less than 2 minutes each of the three times we used Uber.
Thank you, Erik, for an enjoyable stay and adding to the memories of our New Orleans trip!
