Overall we enjoyed our stay at Kay's place. The location was very close to the French Quarter, so we were able to walk everywhere. Kay did reach out to us every day to see how we were doing, and we really appreciated that. We really enjoyed the pool during the day to get some reprieve from the New Orleans heat. The house was very clean on arrival, and it was very easy to check in. (although if you enter the wrong code on the gate, you do need to wait a couple of minutes before you can re-enter the code!)
Unfortunately, it was not well communicated to us that there would be work ongoing on the property. We woke up very early one morning to banging on the roof. This banging continued throughout the day, and not much was able to be done to remedy the situation. The only access point to the roof was by the bathroom, which lacks a curtain over the window. The ladder had to go right next to the window into the bathroom, so our privacy was compromised for that day. We hope that in the future there is more transparency with work being done on the property while guests are present. There are definitely some areas on the property in need of some TLC, and it's always good to see the owner take care of their property, but it's also incredibly alarming to wake up to the roof shaking.
