This is a cute, charming little place and pretty convenient to the Quarter. The things I liked most about it are the bedrooms. They are very big and spacious. Plenty of room. The bed was a king size bed and super, super comfortable. The back patio was just adorable and it was very quiet all around, even with neighbors in close proximity. We did have access to the thermostat so we could be comfortable during our stay.
The things that I did not like about this stay was no closet space. They were locked. Everything was locked. The closet in the hallway, bedrooms, and cabinets in the bathroom were all under lock and key. So I didn’t have anywhere to hang up my clothes or place my bathroom necessities. That was a huge inconvenience.
Secondly, there was no access to the laundry room. That was also locked. This was probably the only Airbnb I have ever stayed at that did not allow us to have the convenience of a closet and laundry.
Last but not least, the check in was pretty kind of a hassle so to speak. In the welcome “memo”, it did state that if we needed to check in a little bit earlier, reach out to them and they would try to accommodate. Well, that wasn’t the case. We were coming from Baton Rouge and we were hoping to check in maybe an hour or so earlier based on what was sent to us, but we were told no we could not because the cleaning crew had to clean from the previous guests and that took several hours. It was raining and pouring all day and we didn’t feel comfortable going anywhere with our car packed up with all our belongings so we kind of just drove around for a few hours waiting to check in. By the time 3 PM came so we could check in, we couldn’t properly do that because the cleaning lady was still there 30 minutes in past our check in time. She was parked in the driveway but from our standpoint, it looked like someone lived there. So we were circling around the neighborhood trying to figure out where we go to check in because as I mentioned, the check-in time was at 3 PM but there was still someone in the house. We had no idea who she was and that’s why we thought someone lived there. I did get a hold of the host and she said she would find out what was going on.
There really isn’t much parking around the area especially when it rains because it started flooding and I didn’t want my car to get stuck. Our host let me know I could park across the street but the way the street is, I would have to park half on the street and half in sort of like a ditch and that’s what I was afraid of getting my car stuck so that was an inconvenience.
The cleaning lady finally left so I was able to park the car in the driveway but our host did inform us that according to their description, the driveway was not guaranteed to us because there are tenants that live on their property. In any case, we got past all of that and enjoyed our stay.
