I should've paid more attention to the reviews about Barbara's bad communication. To those who are interested in booking a reservation with Barbara, please be advised that even though the listing says parking is available for $7/day (hopefully she has taken this down after our communication) you may not be able to park. This became a central issue for us, as we had booked the reservation with the belief that we would be able to park for $7/day, but, in Barbara's own words, "parking is NEVER guaranteed."
On communication: she's quick to accept your request to book, but not to answer your questions about the listing. I asked about how to pay for parking specifically on 3 different occasions, and she only replied on the day of the reservation to say that there is no parking. She also said to communicate with her via a phone number, which I respected, but then she appeared to be upset that I did so, saying she was more comfortable communicating through Airbnb. I had asked her, since parking was not available, if the host would be able to offer alternative parking options and even cover the cost of parking after subtracting the $7/day we were expecting to pay. She was extremely offended by me asking this and said there needed to be a "paper trail" on Airbnb for our communication. By the end of our communication, our relations had soured, and Barbara told me that she would cancel the reservation for us, wishing us a nice stay in NOLA, but I observed that the reservation remained booked on my end, which meant I was not going to get a refund. If this happens, you can call/message Airbnb support to make the cancellation happen and get a full refund. Airbnb support staff also helped me find a new listing in addition to a $111 coupon to help pay for it (on top of the full refund).
Overall, based on my interaction with the host, I would only recommend this place if parking is not essential or maybe your stay is during a less popular time for vacation (i.e., when there would be more vacant parking spots). I would also add that you should not expect great communication with the host. Besides these two notes, I truly have nothing to say about the actual room and cleanliness, etc., so I gave a fair 3/5 rating on those categories since I did not experience it myself. I did not expect to be able to write a review for this listing because I didn't end up staying here, but since Barbara has left me a review, I'll leave mine here as well.
