Mike’s place overall was okay. It’s not far from the French Quarter and downtown and also sleeps a lot of people comfortably. Was great for our quick family weekend trip!
Pros:
1. Ideally located to everything to do. Was about 2 miles from everything we did.
2. Having 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms were super nice for our group of 6 adults and 1 child
3. Very large backyard with some games and sitting area (not all pictured were there though)
4. Has a spot for 1 vehicle to park out front which was nice, more than that might have a problem as the street is so so with construction.
5. Kitchen is stocked and can be cooked in (although there is no measuring cups and the fridge filtered water/ice doesn’t work so need to buy bottles)
Cons:
1. You’re working with a large group, majority of my messages where from various people who help run this property and several others.
2. Not everything is listed on Airbnb - for all details including check in, check out, Wi-Fi, and any additional things they continue to tell you to go to a separate link (their website for their properties). I booked through Airbnb for a reason and don’t want to have to click on and read other sites
3. They technically don’t provide check in details until 1 hour prior. I had to ask for the code prior to that since I would be on a plane and otherwise would be ready to check in right at 4pm. I’m just used to getting check in details 24 hours prior like other listings
4. New Orleans overall has a problem with city trash pick up and they tend to go on strike, therefore there were several bags of trash in the cans and sitting on the sidewalk right outside the steps. Not sure why the host and it’s employees won’t take it to a city dump instead of letting it sit outside with flies and bugs. It started to smell and we had to constantly walk by it.
