To be fair, this place has the potential to be a first-rate place to stay for JazzFest, VooDoo Fest, and the like. However, based on our recent stay (1st weekend of May, JazzFest 2019), the ownership still has a way to go to earn the “SuperHost” designation. I can concur with previous reviewers who have mentioned the location as a big plus, especially proximity to the nightlife (Irish Pub) on the corner, stores (ie., Walgreens), and eateries (like Katie’s, Wakin’ Bacon, and Toups). My cousin and I enjoyed the beautiful but small front porch area one evening where we only witnessed one slightly uncomfortable argument between an obviously inebriated couple from the bar on the corner. However, we can also back up the one review that mentioned that parking is extremely limited due to the pub, as well as street parking being the only available parking option. We had to play car roulette or use Uber just to to do something as simple as make a run to the drugstore or to get a late-night bite to eat. There is also an issue with the push button door lock, which host Chuck does mention in his automated check-in message. In reality, this was a bit of a challenge until we got the hang of also turning the knob after inputting the entry code. The interior space was full of charm, as this is a classic New Orleans shotgun house. Yet, one may be jarred by the lack of privacy if you are unaware of the typical layout of this style of home. If you are traveling as couples, this should definitely be a consideration as there is only 1 bathroom with 2 connecting rooms that feed off of the entry and living room. Literally, one has to walk into the living room and pass through bedroom 1, with the full-bathroom being to the right off of the small hallway, and then there is bedroom 2. The 2nd bedroom is immediately open to the kitchen, with the laundry being outside in a detached shed, which is housed within a small bricked courtyard area. While there is a way to shut off the living room to the first bedroom, you wouldn’t want to do that in the high temps that accompany late April, early May in New Orleans. Why? Because there is no central air in the home, and neither of the 2 window air units is in the 1st bedroom. If someone were to sleep on the couch as was suggested in the listing, the couple in the 1st bedroom would have no privacy whatsoever. Also, occupant 1 as well the 1st couple, would have to enter the room of the 2nd couple to get to the bathroom, as well as the kitchen. This would be an issue even if you have a party where everyone is the same gender, as lighter sleepers would have to choose between having someone disturb them to use the bathroom, or sleep in a space without an air conditioner. There are working ceiling fans with a remote, but it is incredibly hard to cool this style of home with just ceiling fans, due to it being an older drafty home, and the characteristically high ceilings. In terms of amenities, one disappointment was in regards to the TV’s and cable/wifi access. If there is ever perfect weather in New Orleans in JazzFest, TV access would not be an issue at all. However, that is almost never the case and definitely was not the issue this past weekend. Wifi was spotty and inconsistent even when the weather was not stormy and overcast. But the fact that only one of the TV’s had a Roku was the most puzzling. There were 2 TVs in the entire duplex, but none in the 1st bedroom, regulating everyone to invade the space of the living room, which had either basic cable or a digital antenna, or the 2nd bedroom. Some other recommendations that would have made our stay on par with previous experiences in the Mid-City and Gentilly area are, [in no particular order]: 1) extermination of a rodent issue we encountered (mouse/rat in kitchen), 2) fixing the icemaker so that ice falls out of the door, 3) providing citronella candles at the front porch and/or back patio, 4) providing cold bottled water or local beer in refrigerator for guests, especially during the late spring, start of summer, 5) suggestion -- providing light snacks with local faves like Zapps potato chips, Cajun-style seasoned nuts or pralines, etc., 6) making sure existing items are full ie., sugar containers, coffee, etc., and throwing out older food items once they have expired or packages have become dusty, 7) making sure you have enough coffee mugs and saucers/plates for 6 if you are saying your place sleeps up to 6, 7) making sure you have enough towels for up to 6 people using towels every day for 3 days without having to reuse or wash, 8) providing menus or a short list of local eateries in proximity to the home, 9) an introduction/welcome list with info on how to operate the ceiling fans and lights including a phone number for host for concerns and emergencies, etc., 10) suggestion -- card and/or a board game(s) for rainy days/inclement weather days 11) replacing the bed in the 1st bedroom with a new mattress that does not sink, 12) a lower headboard to allow for window air conditioning installation, 11) better pillows on each bed (pillows were very thin), 13) ditching basic cable package for a Wi-fi only plan and installing Roku’s on each television, 14) installing small TV in 1st bedroom, 15) installing weather stripping in lower part of front door-jam to close crack large enough for small rodent or waterbug/tree roach to squeeze through, 16) relocating the door from the 1st bedroom to the beginning of the 2nd bedroom so that those occupants can shut that door for privacy, 17) suggestion— putting together a small bar...
