The home was beautiful but not in the best neighborhood or so we felt, since we didn’t know anything about NOLA. We rode in on the train and got a taxi cab to house, but literally less than 200ft from the home there was a homeless village under the bridge. We were told not to walk by the bridge at night due to them.
The home was beautiful, there were several amenities that seemed to be a lot bigger than they actually were, one being the pool. It was so small that our group didn’t even attempt to get in but we did enjoy the late night talks we had sitting there with our feet in the water. The bathrooms were beautiful, the only problem was there were only makeup cloths and not wash cloths… but when we met the property manager she did provide us with some. We gave her a small list of items that needed to be fixed for the next guests, including the water pressure because it was low. The furniture was nice, but not real sturdy… we are some plus size women and the beds and couches were low to the ground. The bar stools were not sturdy and very wobbly, so we didn’t even chance it.
The ice machine worked but leaked water all on the floor, so we turned it off. Inside the dishwasher the sprayer was dangling, so we just hooked it back to the rack( hoping that we fixed it).
Don’t get me wrong, the home was beautiful! The program manager was pleasant and seemed to be willing to fix any issues that were voiced to her.
I actually thought we were getting the entire home ( I should have read the details better, because it did say UNIT) but I got the message letting me know that it was a unit on the 2nd floor. We did have a group that stayed over us for a couple of days while we were there, they walked/ran really hard/loud over us, but I guess that’s common. Communication was great with the heirloom staff. I’m a travel agent and should have read in detail, so that’s my fault… but overall everything was lovely. The home was clean, but it appeared that there a cat/dog in the home at some point because we had pet hair everywhere. We had two rooms that weren’t utilized, due to some of our group not coming, but there would have been enough space if they did come. Some of the rooms were small with no closet space, but we were only there 4 days so we made it work. There was ample supplies available for our group.
We do recommend that a blender is purchased, just as a courtesy.
I would stay at another Airbnb just not in this area, because we felt obligated to come in early to avoid problems or issues after the locals forewarned us. We tried our best to keep the music down, the conversations quiet so that we did not bother anyone, which kind of hindered us from being able to enjoy it to the fullest… but overall it was a great trip and we enjoyed our stay.
