Newly renovated and beautiful, but has termites in the ceiling beams that ate through the wood and dropped onto my bed during the last night of my stay. Horrible. Thus the 2 stars for cleanliness. Otherwise the apartment was clean.
The curtains were stuck open on the rod pocket, and due to the soaring ceilings, which are beautiful (except for the termites), the curtains couldn’t be closed except with a ladder to reach the rod. So I emailed back to the “How is Your Stay” email, explaining the issue and requested that they be closed, and got NO RESPONSE on the 4 days left of my stay. I did get a response the last morning, to the video I sent of the termites in the bed my last morning. Thanking me for providing the info, that they would check into it, and that there was nothing that could be done since I was checking out that day, There was no apology for the horrible experience of waking up to find that I had been sleeping in a bed with termites in the sheets.
This location is great if you want to be in the heart of Frenchmen Street. There is a bar right across the street that has live music until 3 am Friday and Saturday. You can hear it clearly from the apartment, which is charmingly decorated. The curtains on the tall window are white, so even if they are closed, don’t expect it to get dark in the apartment at night. The shower is great, and the bed is comfortable, except for the termites dropping onto the bed from the ceiling beams they are eating.
I wouldn’t recommend staying here without complete assurance that the termite issue has been addressed. And then only if you don’t mind the management not answering your requests to fix minor issues.
