Host
+ Don was very communicative, and friendly - Great guy for sure
+ Brought water for us, gave us run down of the programs available on TV
+ Accommodating towards our check out, very respectful
Price
- We can during Thanksgiving and think the price raise was relatively expensive compared to 3 or 4 star hotels in New Orleans given the conditions below. It might be worth it during non-holiday season
Location
+ Close to French Quarter: 5 min Uber, 15 min walk
- Doesn't feel safe. We were told by uber driver on the way in to not walk around the neighborhood, including not walking to French quarter. The house has black iron gates to keep safety
- Bad neighborhood. It feels like the socioeconomic conditions is well below American average
Condition of the house:
+/- Lots of beds but given only 1 bathroom, don't personally recommend more than 4 people
- Old and not in a good shape. The house definitely doesn't resemble the conditions featured in the photos.
- ie: floor is uneven throughout the house, stairs are very crooked, handles for the stairs are falling off, random holes in the wall, scratches and stains everywhere on the walls
- Stains on the couch, stains on the towel and bed sheets (I am sure the housekeeper washes all the linen but generally feel uncomfortable to see stains)
