Historic New Orleans Shotgun Home 5 Minutes to French Quarter - Spacious! 2916

We enjoyed our stay at the house. I have no complaints about the home. The neighbors were noisy and their is no parking.

Our stay was spacious and comfortable. Communication with the boat was easy, and the location is close to the streetcar. It's not in the prettiest neighborhood, but we didn't have any issues with that. There were some stains on the blanket in the first bedroom, but the second two were fine, so we just took those. Clean towels, bathroom, and kitchen, but there wasn't any detergent for the washer/dryer.

It was close e

Buyer beware! Nothing like the pics. 1) Location: Ghetto. Bad area. Every building in this neighborhood, occupied or abandoned, has bars on windows. I asked drivers, Is this area of town okay? Okay? No, this is bad. If neighborhoods were green, yellow, and red based on safety, this neighborhood is definitely red. Of course it's bad. You're next to the prison! One insisted on watching until we were safely inside the rental before driving away. Only one block south City Jail w/barbed wire, one block east abandoned hospital. You can't make this scene up. 2) Condition: Poor. Pride of ownership overwhelming. Basic essentials and customary amenities? Ha. No handles on all cabinets, no bar soap, no bath rug, no laundry soap, no toilet paper holder, no plunger, no outlet covers, no smoke detector, no kitchen sink disposal. Photos lie-no front room w/seating. Instead, three rooms w/beds and sofa in the kitchen. One bed frame actually broken! So mattress corner slumped down 1.5 feet. Smell: dank must/cigarette smoke. Dirty conditions-cheddar cheese on kitchen floor, food crumbs on counter. Overwhelming feeling of dirrrrty. 3) Price: Ridiculous for conditions. For the price this rental charges + those conditions = price-gouging. Party house shares wall w/owner's other rental. Paper thin walls: we heard neighbors’ conversations and more ;) Would have left first night but non-refundable.

Arrived to an unclean house. Got sent to the wrong property. Bathroom ceiling was leaking when we arrived and the floor was soaked. We were unable to even get in the door for about an hour. Difficult to communicate with host and you’d be lucky to get a response. Host promised us a 50% refund for the first day because of our issues.. never happened and was probably never going to happen. All this within the first 2 hours of checking in. Will never use VRBO again because of this experience. Trust me when I say you’re better off looking somewhere else.

Cute shotgun style home with neighbors sharing a paper thin wall. We could hear them, and I am sure they heard us. Clean, convenient location, comfortable beds, and cute decor. We chose this rental for the price and location to areas we were visiting. It did not disappoint in this regard. However, we struggled with hearing the neighbors and having to walk through each room to get to the bathroom. This would be an issue with any shotgun style rental and potential renters need to pay close attention to the layout before reserving. Overall, we appreciated our stay and thankful we had a safe place to lay our heads.

Easy rental

The rental exactly what it was described

My friends and I love this little place so much. A lot of improvements since we stayed last time. Comfy beds and furniture. We loved it

2916 is a classic New Orleans living arrangement in a typical New Orleans' community! The charming shotgun house is very, very clean and comfortable. It even dons an iron clawfoot tub, which made me want to spend more time relaxing in the bath. And, you might be surprised by the amount of space you have to move about. My party included 5 adult women, and we were reasonably comfortable with the 2-bedrooms, provided air mattress and our own air mattress. We were able to DRIVE to the Superdome within 6 minutes; Bourbon St., the airport and other things were less than 15 minutes away. There are a few need to knows about this property. The neighborhood is not walkable, and it may look somewhat blight. BUT the neighborhood is secure, and people are helpful and friendly. Secondly, the walls are thin. Conversations, TV and construction work from the next door neighbors are CLEARLY audible as early as 7am. Another potential drawback is this place should not be rented if privacy is a concern. You will have to walk through both bedrooms to get to the kitchen or bathroom (layout: family roombedroom1bedroom2kitchenlaundryroom and bathroom). It also may be pretty uncomfortable with any more than 6 people. Finally, restaurants are sparse in the community. You will likely eat away from home unless you cook.

The house was very beautiful and spacious, way bigger than we had predicted. The Host were very good, fast, and helpful communicators. We thought we locked ourselves out of the house around 12am and the host got back to us immediately, which was amazing!
