This really is a gem of a hideaway! Perfect for folks who want to experience New Orleans without sleeping in the center of all the action.
PROS:
1. Location: Most attractions are within 10-15 minutes of the Airbnb. It's also off a major street with a few fast food offerings to grab if you're hungry after getting off the road but don't want to sit in a restaurant. It's also a quiet street.
2. The Space: Can't say enough the pictures are accurate. The kitchen is massive (I had kitchen envy), the couch and bed are comfortable and the overall aesthetic are lovely.
3. Cleanliness: I could smell the cleaning products when I walked in. Space was clean top to bottom, no errant hairs or odors. Also clean sheets and bath linens were provided. This was a highlight of the experience!
CONS:
I'll preface this by saying these were small things that I think were really unique to my time there but it did impact my overall experience.
1. WiFi: Ashely was as helpful as could be, however I was unable to connect to the wifi network the entire duration of my visit which hampered my ability to wind down after a day exploring and to work remotely near the end of my trip.
2. Access Gate: Had a possible shortage (?) while I was there. It was fixed the next day and Ashley helped with a work around but inconsistent access to the space proved concerning.
3. Overhead Noise: This is a basement unit, a truly lovely one. But it's good to know that you can hear folks upstairs walking or running if they're doing so heavily. I was woken up in the morning a few times during my trip by this. It wasn't a huge problem because I was heading out anyways but can be if you're hoping to sleep in.
Overall, I'd stay again, if I could get the wifi to work! It really is a good space to call home for a few days while visiting the city. It's worth booking it!
