Joey is a nice friendly guy. And seems to stock the fridge for you. I was initially thinking just leftovers from previous guests but lots of new items, like milk, bread, eggs, that Joey provides. Very nice touch and unexpected.
Good place if you want a lot of people to stay and sleep cheaply. I just needed a place for me and my dog for the week. But I found this quite uncomfortable (tried 2 of the 6 beds, neither comfortable) and very dirty. The beds are all very low and not much support, just mattresses on wood boards over metal frames and hard to get out of. Because they are so low, all the blankets and bedspreads are dragging on the floor, making them very easy to trip over. I had to tuck a number of them up to prevent a second fall after tripping over the one by the door. The entire places needs a more professional deep clean. Lots of dirt in corners and along floor. Too many rugs and all need cleaning/washing.
It was also very cold in New Orleans when I was there. There are a number of space heaters sitting on the floor but I plugged one in the first night and blew a circuit. Even with one working, it doesn’t heat up the place so I was very cold most of the week since it was in the 30s and 40s at night.
Location is good, parking on street. Just a half mile walk from Algiers Point ferry to get downtown, so convenient location. There are a couple bars and restaurants up the street as well close to the ferry.
