Charles’s place is a fairly plain but convenient place to stay with responsive and helpful hosts. It was a great location and homebase. As mentioned in other reviews, the interstate noise right outside the house is very apparent but the provided ear plugs were helpful. If you’re wanting to cook, the kitchen with basic inventory doesn’t lend itself to that. Keep in mind, all the food we ate in New Orleans was amazing! So really no need to cook unless you’re frugal like me. The location was great. Initially we felt that the area could have been unsafe but we walked in all directions at all hours, every day and did not feel unsafe at all (in a group of 5). We did have a maintenance issue during our stay and Kim and Charles responded in person immediately. Overall, Charles’s place could benefit from a deep clean. All of Kim’s recommendations were spot on, and she is willing to serve as your concierge at anytime during your stay.
