First, the good:
The host was super responsive to our last minute stay and accommodating in every way. The house was within walking distance to a great coffee shop. The bed was comfortable.
What I wish I would have known:
Yes, this house is historic, but in my opinion it was also dirty. I appreciate old homes and the character they bring, however without the feeling of being unclean. The refrigerator and the shower were the main areas which felt unsanitary to me. Build up of dust on bathroom baseboards and light fixtures just reveal the need for a deep cleaning.
The neighboring homes were a bit questionable, but not out of the ordinary for NOLA.
While I wouldn’t book here again, I see others enjoyed their stay and we did have a good experience with the host so we wish them the best.
