We stayed here for three nights and loved New Orleans. The courtyard is exactly as is pictured and was lovely to cool off in the pool on a hot afternoon or to warm up in the hot tub after a cold walk in the rain. Check in and check out were a breeze.
The room did have the “patina” referenced in the description through its beautiful fixtures. However, if you have allergies or asthma, this stay may prove a challenge for you and your breathing. There was ample dust throughout the room (especially noting the fireplace, mantle, and floors of the bedroom) that I believe may be part of the aesthetic strived for, but is not conducive to respiratory health. I fully appreciate antique bottles and pottery, but this appreciation does not excuse me from keeping my living space clean of dust. This may be something I should have noticed before booking, but at $650 for three nights I wouldn’t have expected this to be the case. There was old milk, meat, and cheese in the fridge when we arrived and had a strong odor which lingered long after removal. When we contacted our hosts, they got back with us quickly to ask that we bag these items ourselves and put it outside of our door and they would throw it out from there. Lastly, the tub is badly in need of a new shower liner as the one currently over the tub had mildew spots all through it.
