Cassandra's airbnb is exactly as advertised. It has the feel of a small hotel room, and makes for a great home base on your trip to New Orleans. Her pets aren't loud. I rarely heard them except fora little when I first arrived, and Cassandra was very communicative and checked on me periodically. I can see why the outdoor area is great for pets, because its inclosed and has seating space.
As far as location, it was about 10 minutes from everywhere in the city via uber or car, which was a plus, and the Ubers are around $10 - $14 (including tip) per ride. Some of the other reviews suggested that the area was not safe at night, and that isn't true. It does get kind of dark at night but this seems to be a tight knit community that Cassandra is definitely a part of. The same people who I'd see her talking to across the street when I left in the morning (a few older neighbors) were also there at night. Everyone speaks when you pass them by, and those things matter. For Black folks this airbnb is close to a pretty large beauty supply store in case you left any necessities at home. I found this really helpful since I wasnt able to bring certain haircare products in my carry ons. There are also a number of helpful stores for last minute items like a dollar store and great local restaurants. A few Nola residents even suggested I eat at PeeWee's which had GREAT food.
The bed is very comfortable, and the AC does a good job of keeping the room at a good temperature, though it doesn't get ice cold like a hotel would. It did feel pretty cold when walking in front he heat. I would suggest to leave it running on high in the summer months when the outside temp and humidity are relatively high.
The bathroom was immaculate. It's updated and comfortable and I wouldn't think twice about having a nice long bath. Seriously, its spotless. She also has wash cloths instead of loofas, which is a small but important convenience.
All in all, I would recommend Cassandra's airbnb to those traveling alone or as a couple and definitely if you have pets. And this goes without saying but I will absolutely be back for another 5 day vacay. 10s across the board!
