So first of all I’d like to say that the room was clean and appeared to have been recently renovated. The location was also accurate and it was a short walk to lots of things to see and do in New Orleans. This is where the good reviews of this place end. My husband and I have stayed in Airbnb’s all around the world for many years and have never left a bad review until now. This is a Hotel like company fronting as an Airbnb. They own the entire building and rent each room on Airbnb. Had I known this I never would have booked it. I worked in luxury hospitality for 8 years and I choose to stay in Airbnb’s because I prefer the personal experience. Before checkin I messaged the host and requested an early check in. What seemed like an auto response was sent to me stating that it wasn’t available but it was signed by a different person so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and figured it was just a message from a different employee. The walls are paper thin. And since this is essentially a hotel there are people coming in and out of the hallways all hours of the night. You will hear them EVERY time. Even quiet casual conversations. This also means they can hear you. The room was nice and I didn’t even notice that it wasn’t the room I booked because that has never happened to me with an Airbnb before. That is what happens when you stay in hotels. I didn’t even notice that it wasn’t the room I booked until I messaged the host requesting a late check out. I was also given an auto response then stating that late check out wasn’t available but I could request one if I downloaded the Sonder app. So was it and they were just lying in an attempt to get me to download their app? Needless to say I didn’t download the app because, again, this is supposed to be an Airbnb. It was then that I saw the picture of the room I booked and noticed that it was not at all what we got. I’m extremely disappointed in this stay and will be cautious of listings like this in the future.
