My stay at this place was very disappointing. I am travelling across the states and have been using a mixture of hostels, hotels and Air BnBs. The two Airbnbs I stayed in before this were excellent. I didn't have a single problem, found the accommodation to be great value for money and generally just felt like I saw more of the cities I was in than I would have had I booked a hotel or a hostel in the centre. This place was supposed to be a treat, but I was left feeling baffled by the ratio of price to quality. There are chandeliers and televisions in both of the rooms, yet there were some very basic problems that even the cheapest listing on Airbnb should attend to. I was told that the gate to the property would be unlocked when I arrived. It wasn't. It was past midnight and I was in a strange city that I have not visited before. The owner was out of town, as was his wife, but his father was available. I had the phone numbers of the owner's wife and father, so started by calling the rather. He didn't answer. I then called his wife, who got in touch with someone else inside the property. After twenty minutes of standing outside with my bags, wondering how I would get in and what I would do if I couldn't, a man staying in an annex of the property came down to let me in. There was no way to buzz or knock, as the gate blocked access to the door and the man was far away from the front of the property anyway. The room is very nice. At this price, it should be. However, there were a number of issues that rendered the luxurious fittings utterly meaningless. First of all, there was no Wi-Fi. Or at least, no clearly visible information on the name of a network and how to connect to it. Some people don't think Wi-Fi is a necessity. It is. The other issues became apparent as my evening progressed. I left the house to have a few drinks and ended up walking down the nearby highway underneath the bridge. Public transport in New Orleans is very poor, but what struck me was the lack of taxis. On a main road close to the French Quarter, there were no taxis! What I didn't understand was why the owner didn't leave at least a piece of paper with some information regarding transport on it. In a city with limited public transportation and few taxis willing to pick up on the street, I think this would be helpful. I can google how to get around, but a simple message explaining that it is necessary to call taxi companies and book would have been helpful. When I returned later that night, I had difficulty unlocking the gate. The lock was very stuff and, when I eventually opened it, I was unable to lock it...
