Our Airbnb was cancelled on us 2 days before our trip. We reached out and were able to rent Terry's place for our stay.
Adam was super knowledgeable and gave us many tips of areas near by. Which is what helped me make the last minute decision of choosing this as our stay.
When we were arriving to the property I was a little sceptical. I am from a small town and haven't dealt with many transients. When coming off the exit there were many tags on buildings and transients staying under the bridge (they never bothered anyone at all). However, we NEVER encountered ANY problems. The building was extremely safe. There are three different codes to be able to get through the building and to your unit. I never felt unsafe for a moment.
It is a perfect location. We walked the garden district, up to the cemeteries, down to the parks. There are several places to eat near by ranging from fast food, to cafes, to fancier restaurants. We also walked the opposite way down to Jackson square, Bourbon Street, the riverwalk, and also Armstrong Park. After day two and 30 miles walking we enjoyed taking the trolley which is right out front of the building. You can pay for passes right on the trolley. It's nice because Google Maps will also track your stops and has the trolley schedule on it (again small town. Maybe more people know this)
The unit itself was very clean. So clean I could smell the disinfectant when I walked in. I didn't realize there was not a living room but just two beds. However, I was in a haste when I was trying to find a new place to stay so I may have missed it. Regardless, it was still very cozy and perfect. The bed the super comfortable and they had fuzzy blankets. Which are my favorite.
The bath towels were super soft and there was shampoo l, conditioner and body wash available. Which was perfect because I didn't pack any on the plane ride.
The kitchen was stocked with the dishes, pans and cutlery needed to cook.
There was ample space to put away clothing and hang if needed.
I loved there was laundry down the hall and you aren't required to pay.
The only thing I had trouble with is the heater/ac. Which, I have stayed three different places which have had one like this and I am actually wanting to purchase one for my own home. It's all about finding the right place to set it. Sometimes even on auto it's too hot or too cold. Be patient. You will find the sweet spot and realize how nice it is!
We absolutely loved our stay and if we visit again, we definitely want to stay here again!
