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.

Oakview Bed and Breakfast was magnificent, B+B owner, Russell,.created an incredible environment with fabulous breakfasts and wonderful lodging. He guided all my touring. Oakview was a short walk to the NOLA Trolley that took me to French Quarter. it was very cheap. Russell was always available to meet my needs. He also provided wine. I give Oakview my highest recommendation. Cheers.

After the blandness of chain hotels this eclectic B&B is most welcome. Breakfast is home cooked and enough to keep you going for hours sightseeing. The trolley bus direct downtown runs frequently and is cheap and the stop is just over the road. Beautiful area of the city with a park opposite. Our host, Russell, was welcoming and helpful. Free parking is a bonus.

Friendly, authentic, and very reasonable.

Short walk across the avenue to City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art, where my business was. Proprietor totally friendly, seemed to enjoy welcoming guests. (Could talk b'ball, a bonus for me.) Other guests at breakfast--a chef and his wife/business-manager--fascinating. I was on expenses, could've stayed at a luxuriously sterile $350 a night hotel and taxi'd to the Museum, but I like to keep my traveling habits (personal, recreational, business) on the same track, so I picked Oakview mostly for location, partly because it seemed (and was) real New Orleans, partly for price. Turned out I was real smart. Feeling that way is another bonus.

Wifi internet and cable did not work in our room. Also, the owner was very unprofessional. He was yelling in front of us about the previous tenants using up all the ice, including the expletive “God****”. He also made sure to make a rude comment when we left about us not eating his breakfast. Not a hospitable stay, but the room itself was fine.

The location was great for going to the art museum and catching the streetcar into the French Quarter. There were plenty of good restaurants and local markets nearby. A house this old though is in constant need of repairs. The outside could use some TLC.
