The Boroughs

“We had a bit of an interesting stay here. The unit is cute & looks like the images! It’s in a great area, easy to walk to, & the designated parking spot is amazing! Check-in & out is very simple. The unit is clearly used & had a fair share of signs of that. Lots of scuffs/damage on walls, dust in unused areas, etc. Most issues anticipated with a STR. We had one big issue during our stay, that I have now been educated with airbnb on how to handle. MOLD! We were with our 2 small children & on night one when we went to lay in bed I realized there was a significant amount of mold on the mini splits. I took pictures & reached out to the host immediately expressing my concern. They responded quickly (even though it was late) & passed it onto their team which I appreciated! Almost two days went by with no follow up or resolution. I then messaged again & they sent 2 maintenance men with a bottle of bathroom bleach & a toilet brush to clean them. While they did help, the mold was still there”

“No hot water for the entirety of stay”

“Cute place in walking distance to restaurants and night life. The place could use some maintenance. Tiles on the shower floor coming up, dingy rugs and couch. But the biggest issue is the parking. Tricky parking behind the house, and once we got in, we couldn’t get out with neighbors moving vehicles that were legally parked on the street. It’s just too tight to make the corner unless you’re in a mini cooper.”

“The location is good for walking to King St, but the neighborhood is very busy and congested. The unit needs some TLC. We had issues with broken TV, dangerous hand railing to get into unit, water pressure in master en suite is non-existent and tub in hall bath is very slippery. Master bedroom has street noise all night long. It was well stocked and plenty of room for our group, but they could have fixed loose hanging towel racks or unplugged broken TV's and tape on door jams that clearly had a banner of some sort ripped down previously. Not a lot of attention to the space. And the stairs to get up to the unit are no joke.”

“The space is lovely, just as pictured. It was an easy walk to great restaurants, the waterfront and French quarter. Our only glitch was the promised parking space in a next door lot was no longer available. A substitute was provided and the owner promptly reimbursed us for the cost.”

“This is worse experience that we have ever had at a B&B. It was so bad that we moved out for 2 nights so that we could shower where there was no mold or peeling paint. Kitchen looks like it was updated, but there is no place to eat except 2 little round tables that are so low you would be bending over to eat. No instruction on anything. False reviews are shown on there site. They gave two 80 year olds the second floor unit and never told this until the day before we arrived and then had to carry our luggage up 13 stairs that are painted a dark color and are dangerous when wet. I complained to the owner on the first day and never heard from them until we got home. Then when we complained about paying for a hotel for 2 days at additional cost for us agreed he would pay for this, but has since backtrack on this item. Now saying that he doesn’t have the money right now. The three units were occupied all the days we were there. In one review a lady talks about a swimming pool, no pool.”

“Nice place, a little run down. Had an ant problem in the kitchen, didn’t really cook due to how bad. However, owner supplied ant spray”

“I wanted this to be a 5 star stay. Really cute place decorated beautifully, very clean and modern. Others mentioned the noise from upstairs and that is very true. I could hear noise all night.What was a huge miss was communication from the company that manages this place. Multiple follow up to address issues. When we checked in, there was no wine opener and only one wine glass. They attempted to send something over and it seems like the people upstairs took the bag thinking it was theirs. I reported what happened within an hour and they said they would send more over and never did. I also contacted them about low water pressure in the sinks with no response. I have three separate messages saying that they would reach out to me the following day and I have had to follow up each day since. I left an item and notified them within one hour. I have yet to receive an address to pick up. It’s very disappointing because this could be a great place. But for the price, I would not recommend.”

“We rented both units for a week, and the condition was unacceptable. The five-star reviews did not reflect our experience. Floors were filthy, leaving the bottoms of our feet and socks dirty from night one. There were cobwebs, dust, stove grease, and previous guests’ trash behind the kitchen trashcan. The upstairs main hall bathroom and downstairs king suite bathroom were filthy and smelled of mildew and sewage. The upstairs shower drained poorly, leaving standing water. Water leaked from the downstairs hallway ceiling on our first night; the ceiling already showed damage. The upstairs dryer, downstairs dishwasher and oven did not work, and a sink’s hot-water handle was broken off. Despite paying a cleaning fee, we spent vacation time cleaning. After checkout, I sent the host a detailed message outlining these issues. As of this review, 24 hours have passed without a response. I have photos documenting several issues. Guests deserve a clean, maintained property. I would not book again.”

“Upon entering, the mildew smell was very strong. Numerous light switches didn’t work and/or missing lightbulbs. The rugs were stained. The yard had an old tire, broken leg on the grill. The place just seems worn and in need of upkeep.”
