The rental was sufficient for the night. It is centrally located to many of the unique shops, restaurants, and bars along Magazine street. It is great location if you want to see another side of New Orleans that isn't overly touristy like the French Quarter. The house is an old fashioned shotgun, which means you have to walk between bedrooms to get to the kitchen and bathroom.
Pros: The lockbox provides easy check-in for guests, as there is no need to wait for the host to obtain the keys. There is no charge for extra guests. With two beds, a sofa , and air mattress, the house can easily fit 6 or more people or three couples. There is a nice washer/dryer.
Cons: High cleaning fee since outside maid service is hired by the host. There is no light on the backporch. The kitchen is extremely barren with only a few coffee cups, but no coffee pot. In case you bring food, there are no plates, silverwear, and extra cups. At times the ceiling lights did not work.
Overall it's not a bad place to stay, but not the best in value for New Orleans off-peak times, considering its bare bones amenities along with the steep cleaning fee.
