The space was charming and eclectic, giving us a feel of what it's like to live in New Orleans. We actually dropped off some luggage before the cleaning team had finished up, so we can confirm upon returning the the space that they had been thorough. Overall we have no major complaints, would recommend the space, and would consider staying again.
With that said there are just a few things we thought it would be helpful for others to know:
The space was described as walking distance from the French Quarter, and although it would be possible to walk I would consider it more of a biking distance depending on where you're trying to go. Especially on a hot day, it may not be ideal to walk 25 minutes to Jackson Square.
Insects are unavoidable considering the region, so if you're not friendly with mosquitoes or a bug surprising you once in a while, you may not want to stay in an Airbnb. I don't consider this to be a criticism of the space, but rather just a note about expectations when you're staying in a residential home. If bugs are a deal breaker you may want to check in to a hotel (although that doesn't guarantee anything either). Jane was kind in giving some tips, such as leaving lights off while we're out, so that the bugs aren't swarming when we return at night.
If you do some research on the Marigny, you'll find that it is a diverse neighborhood with all kinds of people living in the residential area. Some areas are more well maintained than others, and that's just something to keep in mind. We felt safe and comfortable at the location, but did receive some tips from local Uber drivers who live in the surrounding area that we should generally be cautious depending on where we are, and should not being walking home late in the evening. Others might have a different opinion, but being cautious is always good advice when being in a new place.
Hope this information (based on our experience) was helpful--Aside from saying that our time in NOLA was wonderful, which it was, we did want to bring some points up in order to give the review some substance.
