First off, the good—
Cute, cozy, quaint etc. This place isn’t large or fancy, but it is charming. Off street parking is convenient. Nice entrance off a lovely fenced garden.
Inside, it’s small, but perfect for two people. Comfortable queen bed, perfect little living room. The small kitchen is stocked with enough dishes and utensils for all you need to do. Plenty of space for clothes, food, toiletries, etc.
Communication with owners and concierge service was friendly and timely.
It’s in a nice location, just a few blocks from King St. Plenty of great restaurants and bars within walking distance, and a fairly short drive to the French Quarter, beaches, and shopping.
Now the disappointment—
Probably just bad timing, but the fridge didn’t work. Our food wasn’t nearly cool enough overnight, so we had to put our food back in our cooler. Owners apparently were aware, as a new fridge was coming near the end of our stay. The concierge service brought us a mini fridge, but it just took up more already limited space. We were told we would receive a convenience credit for the trouble, but I haven’t seen anything after a week.
The toilet was wobbly, as the bolts were corroded. We let them know, but it worked just fine, so no need to fix it for us. I assume they’ve taken care of it since.
The place really needs a new paint job. There was a spot over the shower where there must have been a water leak. There was some bubbling paint and water stains, and a spot that had been spackled, but not sanded or painted. Some of the trim was a little dingy, especially around door frames. Corners of the bathroom needed a good deep cleaning.
Additionally, their was a lot of plant and tree debris on the back patio and furniture. It was beautiful, but messy. As we were packing up to leave on a Wednesday, a lawn crew was there cleaning up.
The small things on their own didn’t bother me much, but as the stay went on, they started to build up. I was pretty frustrated on the last night when we saw a large roach scurry from the bathroom and under the fridge. Hard to blame the owners for a bug in South Carolina, but it was just another thing.
After the roach sighting, we sent one last message about ever to the owners, and they have yet to respond.
Overall, we were happy there. I’ll recommend it for a great place to stay, but I’d want confirmation that some of these issues have been dealt with.
