Unfortunately our experience in this place was not great. It was not super clean when we arrived, but the longer we stayed the more we realized how dirty it was. We found fake fingernails in three different places (including in the bed), some kind of animal poop under the couch, and the blanket I put down on the carpet for my infant to play on turned brown by the end of the first day. A few days into our stay, a mouse popped out of my husbands suitcase when I walked into the room and we later found poop in the suitcase and stains on one of his shirts. The mouse later ate through some packaged food we had in the kitchen. There appears to be a termite infestation in the bathroom. There were new living bugs when we returned home each day and dead bugs in the sink each evening. There was also a strong must/mold smell in the stairwell. Luckily the smell didn’t go through the whole apartment. I messaged Mark partway through the trip after the mouse and bugs appeared. All he asked was whether we would be leaving early or not.
On the positive side, we had lots of space for travel with kids and the location was great! The kitchen covered all our needs. French Quarter was easily walkable as was Frenchman Street. Louis Armstrong park was only a couple blocks away. The balcony was great. The neighbors were very friendly. The street itself was mostly quiet, but you could definitely hear everything when people were outside. Street parking was easy. This unit was accessed through a side door. It’s possible I missed this instruction, but I had to call the on call person upon arrival to find the correct unit.
