My wife and I (who are in our 60s) have been coming to jazzfest for many years. We own a timeshare in the Marigny neighborhood for the first week of Jazzfest each year. This year we decided to change it up and come to French Quarter Fest. We gave our time share week to some friends and we rented this Air P&B in the same neighborhood. First the good news: the place itself is in a great location, a short walk to Frenchman St and the Quarter as well as some great restaurants in the Marigny and Bywater. The place itself is very nice. Well decorated, spacious for two, comfy king bed, cute courtyard. The bad news: the listing says that it a side by side shotgun house with the other side being occupied by the owner. Not true. Both sides are now a rental. The wall between the two units at the bedroom is paper thin ( the owner admitted that it used to be a doorway and now it is only a think uninsulated barrier which blocks absolutely NO sound. During the 6 days we were there four different groups of renters came and went, tow of them horribly noisy. At times it sounded like they were in our unit with us. Had it been the owner next door with people they were renting to, I suspect they would have been way more courteous. Now, with renters on both sides it is really a crap shoot. I guess if you are young and in New Orleans to party you might not care. We did. We love to go out an party on the streets. It's just that when we get back to our place we enjoy being able to sleep. I think if we'd known we were going to be sharing the place with other renters we probably would not have chosen this place.Too close quarters for my taste. Same with the courtyard. The listing says that is also "shared with the owner". In our case it was shared with at least four people who camped out back there and took up the whole courtyard for much of the day. Again, if you aren't going to use the courtyard it probably won't matter to you. When I called the owner to tell her about the noise issue she offered to let me find someplace else and she wouldn't charge me for my remaining days! Seriously? Sure, find a place at the last minute during French Quarter Festival. Next, the TV didn't work. We called the owner whose response was to suggest that I call the cable company. Needless to say the TV never got fixed for our whole stay. Not the end of the world but I was disappointed with the way it was handled...or not handled. The place could have been cleaned better. Dust on furniture, piles of dust under the bed, bathmats needed washing. I'm not a cleanliness nut but this could have been better. There...
