Staying at Aleks's place definitely added to our trip to New Orleans. Over all the house was clean and the basic necessities were provided. The location of the house is seriously awesome and you can get anywhere in a reasonable time frame with a Lyft or the trolleys.
After arriving we found there's a few small details that were mildly inconvenient. One of the ceiling fans did not seem to work for example. While the house was clean enough for us, it was definitely not scrubbed clean and some surfaces like the kitchen counter tops were kind of sticky.
The photos seemed to be taken during a better time and probably from a flattering angle. Everything looked a little used and worn down. This was not really a problem for us and is to be expected, but some fresh photos or maintenance wouldn't hurt.
One of the upstairs bedrooms beds was just two twin sized box springs pushed together and didn't really work for a couple, so two of us had to stay downstairs in the third bedroom, which was a little frustrating because that bedroom, when in use, blocks off the access to the kitchen.
It seemed like Aleks had a couple of Bachelor parties stay at the AirBnb who may have caused some damage over the course of the season. Things like a broken pool ladder or broken tiles in another bedroom. Again, nothing terribly serious, but enough to give it a 4 star rating instead of a 5 star rating.
The house itself is really charming and you can expect a spacious and historic house in a great neighborhood of New Orleans, just as the title of the listing promises.
All in all, I would stay there again and none of the above mentioned small issues were total deal breakers to us, but some small maintenance and a better "handbook" for the guests would certainly help the place.
