Full disclosure... It has been 15yrs since I was in NOLA & this was my husband’s first time, so obviously we’re not very experience guests. Our first impression at arrival & throughout our first day was skeptical (but improved). The interior of the unit is great, as pictured, very clean. A bottle of wine on the counter was sweet. It was the surroundings (immediate & a block or two out) that worried us. There was a nearby park & under a bridge filled with homeless people and many homes on the block abandon and/or under construction. The backyard of the unit was also under repairs/remodel. You would need to keep a very close eye on children near the pond (?) that was just at the bottom of the stairs. My husband was questioning my decision in choosing here. A few other things maybe on the con list were no tv in the bedroom (only in living room & not an issue for me) & thin walls connected us to another unit. I’m not sure if it was other guests nextdoor and maybe they left, but we only heard them the first day. Also to note, there’s a VERY narrow path leading to the back of the unit (where you enter), a set of exterior wooden stairs and then another set of stairs to climb inside the unit. Wasn’t fun getting my giant suitcase in, but doable with a helpful husband (it was extra heavy). We never had an issue finding parking right outside the gate. And an Uber ride to FQ was only around $7 on the weekend. We had everything we needed in the unit, except a full length mirror, which I found at the $1 store & left behind. By the end of our stay, we realized the dynamics of the area better. The homelessness, construction, repairs, etc. were found almost everywhere around. Now that we realize this, I would not have an issue rebooking here. I just think being prepared to see that would be helpful for those who aren’t aware. The hosts were also very quick to reply to any questions. Check in & out were as easy as can be. Looking back, we’re glad with our decision & enjoyed it.
