Good for what we needed
My friend and I stayed here for a 7 day spring break trip. We were not prepared for the neighborhood, although as time went on, we felt safer and comfortable. There is no stove/oven so, if you plan on ‘cooking’, you’ll need to do sandwiches or microwave things. There are two bedrooms and a bathroom, that’s it. Bringing kids here might not work if they are energetic. The patio/yard is a shared area, and very nice. Michael, the manager (owner?) was VERY kind and accommodating. The small area we stayed in is footed off from the rest of the house, where others can stay. We had a concern with the people staying in the other section and Michael was ON it. He is obviously seasoned and was really helpful! I’d stay here again, although I’d plan differently in general.

Pleasantly surprised. Unit was nice and clean. Decorations were pleasant, beds and furniture were in very good condition. Bathroom/ shower were clean and modern. Plenty of towels to be had (for two). Has microwave, coffee pot and a toaster. Two of us stayed three days and sere very happy. Will book this unit again in the future.

Great place! We only needed a place to shower and sleep… so we didn’t care about the mini kitchen. Ubers were an easy ride to FQ and JS. Michael was very responsive and helpful. Listen to his restaurant picks! Felt very safe. Comfortable beds. Great shower. It had everything we needed.

In spite of what some are saying, the property is very safe. You're right across from Nat'l Guard if that helps. The owners communication was EXCELLENT. Always got back to me right away anytime I had any questions/concerns. The property was good. A few things though: You are SHARING the home. Good news is there is a door that locks in between so you will have no interaction with your roommates. Second, you will be sharing parking. It sounded like you have 2 parking spots to yourself but apparently this is shared so if you have 1 cars, you will have to park on the street I guess which I wouldnt recommend as street is narrow. Our side of the home did not have a real kitchen. Just the a small fridge, toaster and microwave. Not a big deal but you should be aware. On our side you also dont have access to the thermostat, so if you are hot/cold you are at the mercy of the neighbor. Speaking of which if your neighbors are loud, you will hear. ever. word. So if that's a concern, beware. Finally, biggest gripe, shower drain drains VERY SLOW so it'll be like you're standing in the shallow end of the pool as you shower. This apparently has been told to the owner before based off past reviews but has yet to fix. Overall, if I knew exactly what I was getting into I would still rent the property but these kinds of issues, could scare off other guests so keep this in mind. Overall tho 4/5 stars

Property very nice. Rooms clean. Only thing I ready didn't expect. No kitchen. Only toaster, coffee maker & small refrigerator. Other guess had access to kitchen. So if you rent this part of the house , you will need to eat out. Beautiful outdoors. Very Safe. Close to downtown area. Thank you will book again.

The details matter
Overall our experience was good; however there are some major details that I'd like to share along with some suggestions for the host. 1- Location The property is located in the poorest neighborhood in all of New Orleans - the ninth ward. We had all of our Uber drivers ask us what we as tourists are doing in the neighbourhood at 10-11pm at night. 2- Safety The front door to our suite (the back suite) opened into our bedroom. A suggestion for the host is to install a security latch, similar to a hotel so guests can sleep peacefully at night. 3- Fridge/kitchen The coffee maker was not cleaned after the previous guest. Not a big deal, we washed it out. It would be very helpful if a kettle was provided to boil some water. 4- Bed/mattress The mattress/bed frame combo was terrible. The wooden bedframe kept squeaking each time you turned. The mattress was more soft than we personally liked. 5- Transportation Given the neighbourhood, public transit is not an option, especially late at night. A typical Uber was $15 each way to French Quarter. Something to factor in when considering the location.

Thank you for staying with us. Your driver must have been drunk or did not know the city. This property is in one of the safest zip codes in the New Orleans area. It is called Arabi not the ninth ward. All you have to do is read the VRBO listing to see that or google the address of the property. I just sold the home next door to this rental for $569,000 hardly the poorest section of the city. While you were staying there your neighbors did complain about noise you made. But I'm not even going to get into their complaints or the remainder of yours. I hope future guests will read all the positive reviews on this property. Abraham Lincoln once said "You can please some of the people all the time and all the people some of the time. But, you will never please all the people all the time. Thanks again for staying with us, happy holidays.

Great Place, Very Minor Issues
Pros: The property was very nice, felt safe, nice and cool in the unit, it’s far enough away from everything for a quiet (area) but a less than 20 minute drive to get to things along with convenient food and shopping near by. The owner was great the one time we spoke about check out. Cons: The tub and sink drained a little slow while using, not to big of an issue though. The other thing, I encourage the owner to post a nice message for other occupants to lower their voices if possible, it is attached to another section via a locked door and let me tell you we heard EVERY word of the neighbors but it seemed they just talked really loud to each other. I turned the tv up and closed the door for a slight relief, so if you’re lucky and get quiet neighbors at the same time you are there, you’re in a great place with little to no issues.

The property itself worked well for our family of four. Our girls had their own room with a twin and trundle bed. Everything that the owner had control of went great! It was nice to be able to park our car for free and drive into town in about 12 min. The only thing that was different than I imagined was the area of the property. It is about one street away from the lower 9th ward and required driving through not the best areas of New Orleans every time we went to the city. We were there during New Years so we also had a lot of random fireworks and car alarms in the neighborhood, but again not something the owner could control. Overall it worked for what we needed.

Wonderful place to stay.
We loved staying in the apartment. It was nice and clean. Plenty of room for my husband, mother-in-law, 5 year old son, 11 month old baby and myself. The location was great. A quiet street, just a short drive to all the action in New Orleans, but far enough away that you have some peace and quiet. Their garden area was wonderful. Very nice and relaxing. The pool was amazing! They were having a pool party and my son wanted to swim. Michael invited us to swim and enjoy the food. He and his wife and every guest there, made us feel like we were a part of it all. I highly recommend this place if you want to visit NOLA and don't want to stay in the French Quarter. You are only a short drive from all of the action. Michael's restaurant suggestions were wonderful. We loved Who Dat Cafe. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
