For first time users of an Airbnb, please look to carefully if you're booking a SHARED property or the ENTIRE property. Meaning, you may be booking "A ROOM" literally in someone's personal home that they are currently occupying at the same time as your reservation. Compare the value of that "ONE ROOM" to an entire home that you could book all for yourself for the same price or even less.
I read the reviews, which were all pretty good. However, we could not see the markers described in the description, due to a lack adequate lighting around the property and being blocked by other vehicles. The pictures were deceiving, as they showed a bright inviting, cozy home. Yet, we had to pass through a dark courtyard, which was not stated in the description, the front door was blocked by something inside, keeping it from being used, allowing for only one exit, furniture in the living area was covered like in a vacant home, there was clutter on the counters in the kitchen and one bathroom, pile of clothes/clutter in the hall near the same bathroom, we could hear someone walking from one room to the kitchen, running water in the kitchen as if someone was washing dishes, some kind of thumping like tennis shoes in a dryer at around 1a, a rooster that crowed from 3a until we left the property at 8am, and daylight that shined through the sheer curtains. We felt extremely uncomfortable, we were so dissatisfied that we ran out after only staying 8 miserable hours never to return again. We did not even change into pjs or get under the covers. We literally laid on top of the covers, covering ourselves with our personal jackets. My husband stayed on the chair provided in the room and the bedroom door stayed locked.
The price in no way or shape fit the accommodations. I hope that the next person who attempts to book this property will see our comments and look further into this property before booking. Considering our experience, there has yet to be any consideration or discussion to refund any part of our payment. Please note that people we were meeting in NOLA paid $100 less than we did and they had an entire one bedroom/one bath home with an open living/kitchen area that could accommodate 4 ppl. There was also a $65 cleaning fee and a $35 service fee applied to our $318.10 reservation. Yet, I couldn't tell you what services we received and there was nothing to clean, as we used NOTHING. Proceed with caution.
