Firstly, we really enjoyed our stay. The host was very helpful and stayed in touch during the visit. The house is located just a few blocks from an amazing bakery on Magazine St., Frankie and Johnny's (classic Creole food), a great little dive bar three doors down, Le Bon Tempe Roule (a bar and music venue also on Magazine) and Tipitina's is only a few blocks away too. It's on a fairly busy street and the side across from the house is all old warehouses. There is a grocery on that side also though, which was great to have nearby. Probably worth mentioning that it felt totally safe too. But there were some disappointments for us. The house is due for some basic maintenance. In the hall bathroom there's a heavy accumulation of dust above the door. The kitchen window curtain is full of holes and was being held closed with a binder clip. The light bulb in the frig is being held in place with duct tape, which has failed so it hangs down. The mattress in the first bedroom is really sagging, though it wasn't uncomfortable and we slept fine. It's also worth knowing that the house is a shotgun and you have to walk through the 1st bedroom to access the kitchen and second bedroom. That wasn't clear from the description. Not really a big deal, all things considered, and honestly I thought it would be kind of neat to stay in a legit shotgun anyway -- but may not be for everybody.In a nutshell -- we had a great time, host is great, but it's time for some simple maintenance.
