We had a good time in New Orleans, and were comfortable in the shotgun house. The location is centrally located, which is a huge plus. We were able to visit the Garden District and Audubon Zoo, as well as the French Quarter with ease. Overall, the house is comfortable and pleasant. However, there are a few issues with the house.
First, there is very little flexibility in the checkout policy. I asked for an extension, but was told I would be charged an additional $20.00 per hour. That was to be going to be more than what I originally paid to rent the house (per day). I would have gladly paid for another half-day ($50.00 - $60.00), but not $120.00.
Second, the front porch light is out and the shower is HORRIBLE! There is poor water pressure, poor drainage, and very slippery. Light bulbs and bath mats are cheap fixes for part of those issues.
Third, we arrived on a late, late flight. It would have been nice to have a basket of snacks and some coffee and tea in the house. Instead, we ordered over-priced IHOP through Grubhub. Also, on that note, the Keurig either needs cleaned and descaled or just replaced. It splatters horribly.
If you are just looking for a place to drop your luggage and go, then this is a perfect house to rent. If you want a little more, I suggest you keep on looking.
