I stayed here for a week. I had my own car. I worked during the day and explored the city in the evening and night. This place was very comfortable and convenient.
Pros:
* The place is better than advertised.
* Everything was provided. Bathroom, kitchen essentials and the all important beads.
* This place is 6 mins from French Quarter. I usually parked around Basin & Conti (free after 7pm).
* The water pressure was great. The bathroom was clean and hot water was instant.
* The room is big. There's plenty of space. I set up a folding 6 foot table to work, no problems.
* Internet was fast. 350Mbps down and 100Mbps up.
* There's a well manicured yard right in front of the door.
* There's a separate entrance and I came and went as I pleased. I have stayed at other similar places which classify themselves as "Entire unit" on Airbnb, but I believe Cassandra has classified this correctly as a private room.
* Even though it's not listed as an amenity in the Airbnb ad, Cassandra offered to let me use her laundry.
* I needed a haircut and failing to find a same day appointment, Cassandra helped me schedule one at the salon she goes to.
* Cassandra is very thoughtful and considerate. On noticing I had cans of food, she offered her can opener.
Cons.
* There's an outside chain link gate which needs to be closed with a padlock and chain every time. It's janky, and could use an upgrade.
* I tripped the electric circuit by running the space heater and microwave at the same time.
The neighborhood is a predominantly black working class neighborhood, so if you have any prejudices, you may not have a good time. I'm a POC and never felt unsafe even though I was regularly coming back late in the night.
