I wish I could include pictures. The appearance of the place is very DIY and not in a good way. The impression we were given was that the owner purchased this place expressly to make a quick buck on AirBnB and did the bare minimum, renovating himself with YouTube videos or just guesswork. You can see a clear square cut out of the drywall where the window frames are placed into the surrounding wall. There's a big chunk taken out of the wall in a corner of the bathroom to fit the tub (not a smooth, painted cut-out, but as though he took a sledgehammer to it). There's big gaps in the drywall where it wasn't cut to the right size for lightswitch plates. There's a shade on the door window that's made of hand-pleated construction paper (like a 2-minute job). I don't think there were any pots and pans, though we didn't try to cook. The sheets were really old and somewhat stained, and the only covers were a threadbare topsheet, a thin, old, stained, mustard-yellow cover, and an old sleeping bag.
I've been to New Orleans 5 times and lots of things about the city are in disrepair. There's some charm to it. I stayed in an AirBnB several years ago that was much the worse for wear, but at least had clean, new sheets. The DIY vibe here comes across as cynical and cheap, not charming.
