The bad: Don’t expect quick communications from hosts, although they will eventually answer. They need to do a deep clean and see if they can eliminate the strong cigarette odors (it hit us in the face every time we entered, even after running bathroom fans and kitchen fan 24x7). The “rooftop pool” is only 3.5 feet deep and about 8 foot x 5 foot wide and long. There was some grime surrounding the bathtub and the drain, though we could easily avoid it. The fan in the bedroom is loose on it’s bearings and we couldn’t run it overnight while trying to sleep as it just creaked and cracked on-and-off the entire time.
The good: the king bed was extremely comfortable, plenty of hot water, ice cold AC, kitchen utensils fully stocked (though we never cooked in it), and great vicinity to the French Quarter and Bourbon Street (mild noise levels at this location). Easy check in and check out with a 24-hour doorman for safety.
