Allen was very quick to respond when I texted or called. This was definitely an interesting trip for us. The location of where the place is was great being that bourbon street was only a few feet away. Coffee shops are right across the street, and don’t worry about bringing toiletries - you’re right next to a Walgreens.
The stay overall was nice. Upon our arrival the apartment was not cleaned, beds were not made and there were dirty towels in both the washer and dryer from previous guests. This was very unfortunate considering we paid for an extra night (at half price) so that we could “check in early”. Allen kindly reimbursed us for a full nights stay but it was a hassle considering how much we worked around being able to come in after our early flight and being told that the cleaning crew would need a few hours in the apartment.
Allen has a lot of towels and sheets, and has hangers in the closet which was nice. There was also detergent in the washer/dryer area. There are in fact 3 hair dryers there. I could only get Netflix to work on the TV in the bedroom which may have been an issue on my part. Unfortunately, New Orleans was a lot dirtier than we expected, and the drugs & homeless community was very prevalent on Canal Street. If you anticipate going out in the morning, wear sneakers - regardless of where you go (whether it be Allen’s place or anywhere around the French Quarter) you may step in poo or pee. Also, this is not a place for children. Goodluck in NOLA.
