There are some really positive aspects to this space. Namely, the fact that they don’t charge a different price for two or four guests is amazing, and an especially great deal for those with four guests. It’s a less great deal for two people (see below). The free off-street parking is noteworthy too, though it was only just big enough for our Camry. Not sure that a larger vehicle would be able to fit there. Additionally, the bed was pretty comfortable, and the room had much of what you need for your stay, including two free beers. Also, it’s a good location, very close to Canal Street. Free cancellation is another serious perk.
Much of the less great aspects involved relatively poor communication. I reached out to ask about check in procedures and never got a response. While I did find the info on the webpage, we could have used some extra info the night we arrived as it was dark and raining and not entirely obvious where to go. Additionally, I asked for a bath mat via text (as there was not one) and again no reply and so no bath mat for days. A second big issue for us was the fact that you truly do feel that you’re inside someone’s else house while you there. The hosts live there too, and the home is somewhat older, so you end up hearing every little thing. For example, we were in NOLA for a holiday away and yet the host’s alarm clock woke us up more than once. We also heard lots of talking and movement. Whole conversations could be heard. It made us feel that we needed to be super quiet to not disturb anyone, which is not what we were hoping for on our holiday. We did know that we’d be in someone else’s home, but we didn’t expect that to feel so obvious and limiting. Overall, for the price, we wish we’d booked a more private, quiet space. Overall, for the experience, I don’t feel it was a particularly good value for two people, though it certainly would be for four people who didn’t mind the set up.
