The property was spacious and clean. There are modern appliances and the apartment is comfortable (temperature, furnishings, etc. ). It’s located in the Soulard neighborhood, so it’s close to downtown and has easy access to the highway. In addition, the host is very friendly. We’d probably stay there again, but we’d be better prepared next time.
So why 4 stars instead of 5? The bathrooms.
There were 2 couples on our trip and we chose this location specifically because it had 2 bathrooms and we wanted somewhere where 2 people could be showering at the same time. Unfortunately, that wasn’t feasible. The low water pressure made it hard for one person to shower at a time and still get shampoo out of their hair.
To my preparedness comment, there were no shower amenities whatsoever. No soap, no shampoo, conditioner, etc. We checked in late evening after being outside in 90+ degree heat all day, so it was tough for 4 people to shower with only the small amount of shampoo the ladies brought (guys didn’t bring any shower products, so we had to borrow their shampoo for a full body wash). Needless to say we had to run out to buy soap, more shampoo and we decided to buy toilet paper too since there were only partial roles in both bathrooms and one spare roll for the unit.
All in all, the unit is nice and I’d recommend staying. Just know that the only bathroom amenities you will get are towels and some liquid hand soap by the sink. You need to bring everything else.
