Updated Lower Garden District apartment near Magazine St
The location: Convenient to Magazine street. About 2 blocks to the bus to downtown/french quarter and 4 blocks to the streetcar. I lowered this a star for its proximity to a local bar on the corner and other some items mentioned below . Some nights were fine but others had as someone told us the 'fabric' of New Orleans'. If you're ok with that, great.
The unit: The apartment is nicely appointed, modern, updated. All of NO have incredibly high ceilings which make it feel even more spacious. There were a few maintenance items that the owner said he would address. The AC trips up and needs resetting annd inconsistent WiFi affecting the tv. Assuming the maintenance items are addressed, it's a nice place.
Communication: was great. Timely and professional.
Checkin: I didn't care for it. There is a disconnect between the VRBO way and the BookNola way. Not his fault but VRbo block emails and doesn't allow you to copy urls from the app. The owner process uses 2 disconnected systems that I had to pass through (rental checks). I had to background check the background systems because they are no names to the non-rental owner world. One of the links led to the owners site to login which was incorrect. Needless to say, it was clumsy and quite honestly uncomfortable. The owners guide wasn't easily accessible. In the end, was fine but be prepared. The owner was responsive.
