Pros: Spacious studio only minutes from Bourbon Street. Condo/apartment was in a secured building with a security guard so you felt safe. A/C worked well and communication with host was fast and easy.
Cons: Day 1 the towel rack came off the wall. I reached out to the Host about the towel rack & was told they'd send in a maintenance request (this was never fixed during our 4 night stay). The towels felt like hard rags and you didn't get many. The laundry door did not shut so it stayed open during our stay (fyi you must bring your own laundry soap, if you're planning to use this). The kitchen does not have everything you need if you wanted to cook, silverware wise there were 2 spoons and a butter knife. The bed was the worse bed I've ever laid on in my life and I travel a lot. This bed was so bad that I only made it 1/2 way through the night (after trying to sleep on pillows for additional cushion) before moving to the couch. The bed was also VERY noisy so if you are a light sleeper and sleeping next to somebody, good luck. The couch was just as bad as the bed, it slants forward and dips in the middle. This is a sleeper couch but we couldn't get the bed to come out of the couch so the rest of my trip I slept on the slanted/dipped couch because I wasn't going to attempt the bed again. Another con of sleeping on the couch is that the A/C hits you directly when it comes on so I was very cold at night (but the room was hot). We only had 2 sheets and a super light weight blanket for our room. The first morning the host reached out asking us how our stay was going. I told him about the bed, couch & lack of blankets & was told maintenance would fix these asap but nobody ever came. In addition, the curtains in the room are very thin (more decorative) so the room remains pretty bright throughout the night, if light effects your sleep keep this in mind. Neighbors were also loud & you heard honking and yelling all night from the outside (however both were expected given how close this place is to Bourbon St).
Overall: This place is great to stay based off of location and security/safety only however, the bed/couch situation along with other things mentioned above made this stay not worth the money we paid ($880 for 4 nights) and I left in a lot of pain due to the bed/couch situation. If I had any recommendation for the host, it would be to get at least a new bed, even if it was used as a used bed would be better than what was in that room!
