Unkempt, unclean, and a little unsafe
We arrived before 9 pm but had trouble locating the place as the building was completely dark with no lighted signs. (What signs exist are small or placed out of the way, not easily seen.) There is no doorbell so we had to bang on the door to be admitted. The "reception area" is the foyer of someone's apartment and rather messy. It was also lit only by a small lamp. We made our way to the 2nd long set of steps in the dark. The areas in the room that can are in immediate view are shiny and clean. However, look behind the curtain (literally) and there is quite a build-up of dust and dirt. The exposed edges of the floor under the bed are also nice and shiny. But lean over a bit and you'll see how dusty it is. This holds true all over the property. If you have allergies, this is not a place you will be comfortable. You are literally walking through someone's living space (including food prep area and exposed foods) as you go in and out. The shower, while it has many nice features, is much too complicated to figure out and has no labels on the numerous handles and switches. Speaking of switches, there are So. Many. Lots of them do nothing. And few of them are placed in relation to what they actually do. And speaking of things there are a lot of - let's not overlook the steps. There are LOTS of them. They are not even, many are shallow and both outdoors and in the railings wobble or are missing pickets. Not a place we can recommend. Also...no breakfast.
Area adjacent to common stairs
Out door stairs. Indoors much more uneven.
Area adjacent to "reception."
Took photos of damage on 1st night to forestall being charged for it.

Mr. Russell was a great host, very accomodating. Breakfast was great, and he even left a beignet the morning that I missed breakfast.

Location great, accommodations awesome and the host Mr.Russell was absolutely wonderful. Street car stop 2mins away so easy traveling to French Quarter and city park across the street! The Homemade daily breakfast is a great way to start your day! You will not be disappointed and this added perk was surprising & very appreciated (open bar)!
