The main disappointment about this property was the state of the outdoor areas and cleanliness issues with bedding and beds. The entry and porch are considerably dirtier and untidier than the photos led us to believe. Max does inform us that he has a dog, but not that there are in fact three on the property and that they "do their business" in the communal area. This added to the humidity and heat of New Orleans and how long the host takes to "pick up the bombs" results in a fairly unpleasant smell.
All three of our party got a considerable amount of bug-bites when staying at this apartment which, considering how much insect repellent we used can only be bed-bugs.
The laundry and dryer announced are not functional (we tried to use them despite how rusty they were, and neither worked), however Max did immediately allow us to use his laundry and dryer in the adjacent apartment.
Max's communication is fast and he responded to our requests. Check in and out are set up so it's easy and fool proof.
The kitchen and living room are pleasant and cosy and the location is fairly good (average uber price to french quarter is $8-11 or alternatively a 45min walk).
A disappointing stay in an awesome city.
