Lovely place right next to the French Quarter. It’s about a half hour walk to the city’s bustling center, which was longer than we anticipated. This wouldn’t have been a big deal, but considering we came in the middle of the summer when the temperatures are highest, we decided to drive into the city which was unfortunate. There’s no stove although it is included in the pictures.
Probably the biggest downside was on our second night. We’d been inside most of the afternoon without opening any doors or windows when hundreds of moths began swarming the light fixtures above our bed. I reached out to the host, who responded quickly (a plus!) but brushed off our concern by saying it happens every day and they’ll be gone soon enough. We sprayed bug spray desperately because they were dipping down to eye level at that point. It was a 30 minute battle with the bugs, and I’m unsure if the problem would’ve persisted longer had we not taken action. To be honest, this isn’t that big of a deal, considering the house was built in the 1800s and the south is known for its copious amounts of insects; however, I do feel this should have been disclosed beforehand and handled more delicately in the moment.
The apartment doesn’t include any extras - there were no bags for the trash and no cleaning supplies (which we needed after The Moth Massacre), so we had to make do with what we had. All that aside, the bed was extremely comfortable, parking was extremely easy, and the apartment itself was clean and ready for us.
