The rental unit was very clean and tidy. Communication with the host was easy and prompt, and check-in was seamless. The photos accurately represented the unit when we arrived. The unit was quiet at night, which is important as my family is sensitive to noise at night when trying to sleep.
But for us, the location was not as optimal as we had hoped. While it was away from the main party scene in NOLA, the walls with the adjoining unit were very thin, and we could hear parts of our neighbors' conversations, their dogs barking (fortunately only during the daytime), and their floors creaking when walking. Also, one of the neighbors a few doors down the street had a very loud outdoor party on the street one day, with music blasting for hours. (fortunately it was in the daytime hours only). The neighborhood was not very busy (perhaps because it was in June?) with very few people milling about Freret St, and the unit is just 1 block from Oschner Hospital -- both of which did not instill the feeling that the neighborhood was particularly safe, though we didn't think it was very dangerous as long as you were street smart. Nevertheless, we did not go out at night. The only minor points were that many of the towels were bleach stained and need replacing, and the laundry detergent had run out (check-out process requires starting a load for used towels). Considering all of these things, the rental rate is likely fair.
