Location
The location is excellent. It is close to many attractions in New Orleans yet far enough to get restful sleep. There is minor noise from people passing by, but all in all, very peaceful.
There are security cameras visible on the computer in the home. Overall I felt completely safe during my stay.
Check-in
I appreciated that we were able to check in several hours earlier than expected.
There was only one lockbox contained the key to the gate and back entrance. The second code provided in the instructions no longer seems relevant because I could not locate another lockbox. I did not experience the same issues getting in the gate or the home that other guests encountered.
Accommodations
The place has a very New Orleans vibe with a unique charm.
Multiple doors and shutters had notes requesting that they not be used. It made the place pretty dark in the front area of the house and the bedroom. The host covered the reason for this in an earlier response due to guests not properly locking up. I get the reasoning; however, it would have been lovely to enjoy the natural lighting.
The toilet handles in both bathrooms gave me issues. I reached out to Dan, and he instructed me to push hard on one and advised that the toilet handle in the other bathroom worked, but it had to be pushed backward. I was unable to get one to work because I did not want to break anything. I opted to use the other bathroom with the backward handle. It was a minor inconvenience, and Dan did respond promptly to my concern.
Amenities
I brought bath products from home; however, theresidence had an ample selection of bath products in the available, there was laundry detergent, cleaning supplies, and a blow dryer.
The host had some interesting books to read. Had I been there longer, I definitely would have read the book on Marie Laveau.
I was looking forward to the washer and dryer because I wanted to wash my items before my flight. The washer had a load of clothes already in it. The articles had a bit of a mildew smell. I was going to run them through again, but the washer would not begin a cycle. It seemed as though the water hookup might have been disconnected.
Cleanliness
The place was tidy, but there was quite a bit of dust on the shelves.
