I give my stay a mixed review, I stayed for 7 nights. The photos, description, and price point are pretty different from reality. Tyler was a very hospitable host and went out of his way to quickly address concerns and make us feel comfortable. But, if you’re going to be staying for more than a quick weekend trip with the broskis, I’d consider other accommodations until some improvements are made.
The location was great. The internet was around 50mbps. The kitchen helped us cook meals at home. There are a couple of things that could be better:
- The place is generally clean but I found cockroaches in the bathroom multiple times throughout our stay
- The kitchen and house could be better stocked with basic supplies, dish towels, and better dishwashing detergent
- The spiral staircase up to the bedroom is not easy to get up and down even as a young person
- The renovation that this place had I’d say is more of a DIY renovation than a professional renovation, it’s pretty rough around the edges
- There is painting and construction around the main house. The noise from the construction wasn’t as much of a problem, but having the construction/painting made the outdoor space dirty and uninviting
- The water pressure in the shower isn’t great
- The apartment is attached to the main house. There is a door connecting to the main house both in the bedroom upstairs and downstairs in the kitchen. The doors remain locked, but sometimes you can hear the folks in the main house. This wasn’t a big problem for me but could be for those wanting a bit more privacy
- The other hosts from Book NOLA were not as hospitable
