This place was super cool on the outside and extremely disappointing on the inside.
CONS:
Cleanliness was a huge issue.
The benches at the end of the beds were sticky and dirty. There were a couple of stains on the sheets. The shower head looked rusty and the walls in the shower were smudged and didn’t look like they had been wiped before our arrival.
Worst of all, the place smelled like cigarette smoke. I sprayed everything with Febreeze about three times, but could still smell it. By the end of day two, the smell either faded a little or I had gone nose blind, cause it wasn’t AS BAD as it had started.
PLEASE BE AWARE that the two bedrooms are divided by a small “living room” (but more like a closet in size.) This room has a glass door… and the door doesn’t have anything on it for privacy. So, I couldn’t walk into the room my child was staying in without being seen by whoever was sitting in the courtyard. Super super inconvenient and unfortunate.
The walls are extremely thin at this place, so we heard the upstairs neighbors working out at like 4am. This, paired with the fact that the beds were squeaky and uncomfortable, made for terrible sleep.
There’s a mini fridge, but that’s it in terms of “kitchen.” This place doesn’t claim to have a kitchen, but I was a little disappointed there wasn’t a coffee maker or microwave. Again, they didn’t claim to have one- so my disappointment about this is on me.
PROS:
The location was pretty good, about a 10 minute drive to the French Quarter.
Neighborhood seemed relatively safe.
Parking was on the street, but there was always a spot.
I was worried we’d hear the train because of how close it was, but we didn’t hear it a single time.
I saw someone else review that this house was great if you don’t plan on spending a lot of time in the house, and that pretty much nails it.
