Upon first walking in, I thought the was great. Cute, well laid out, and had it's own atheistic. It's in an idealic neighborhood next to the #1 sandwich shop in NoLa if not the US. Great shops and food everywhere.
The architecture around this place is fantastic and historic. You feel the history of New Orleans here in a way you don't get in other parts of town. I LOVE the surrending neighborhood and I meet a few neighbors and they were amazing. Invited me to dinner type of nice. Lovely. It felt well with the price, if not a steal. Loved it. But....
Upon laying in the bed, I immediately knew it hadn't been fully cleaned. The top "comforter" had tons of long hair on it. I came up from my nap covered in hair. The sheets had been washed, but not much else. In times of cv-19.... That's not okay. Everything needs to be washed and changed over.
After my nap, I realized I dropped my phone on the floor and it went behind the bed. So I got onto the ground to get it to find tons of dust bunnies, hair ties, and a plastic bottle under the bed. I then looked under all the furniture and nothing had been cleaned in what I could tell was months. I was pretty grossed out.
So I went to take a shower. The shower looked awesome and I was looking forward to a multi-head shower with lights and music. None of it worked. I turned the shower in just to have the handle fall off. It had obviously been that way for long time. It took me 10 minutes standing there naked somewhat on with hot 🔥 water spraying down to get the handle on so I could make it work. Turned it one way and I almost started flooding the bathroom because it was leaking out the sides. I finally figured it out, but then I realized how dirty it was. It also was filling up and I was now railing a shower in a foot of water.
Now, I know how to fix these things and I did my best to it work, unclog it, take a shower. But $50 at lowes would fix this forever. I almost did it because this place is really cute and the value is there. It just needs love... Just not mine while I'm paying for it.
The shower wasn't really clean and neither was the toilet. Or the bed. Or the floors.
With all that said.... It's cute. It's worth the money. It's a good neighborhood. And here's the thing....
This is the first Airbnb I might book again regardless of complaints. Because I know after seeing this complaint they'll fix it. How do I know?
Because they were so communicative. So caring. So much love went into their space. But I need to put this out there so I can say my experience and ensure the hosts address it and fix it. Which I have 💯 certainty they will. They love this space. And when they do... It'll be worth every single dollar they charge. Again... I'd book it again for the price and neighborhood.
