Guests have access to a fridge, freezer, lockers for dry storage, plates, cups, mugs, bowls, utensils, basic seasonings, pots, pans, and small appliances such as a toaster, hot plate, toaster oven, and microwave. Guests can store dry food in kitchen lockers and keep dishes in personal containers. Guests must wash their own dishes and mark food items with their name, purchase date, and checkout date.

The hostel library features 'burning books' in front of the fireplace and sprinkler system artwork. Guests can see original hardware, including parts of the transom hardware. In the lobby, the wood floors have been in service for at least 100 years. In the lobby, the dark spots on the floors are from oxidized square, iron nails.

Location and Transport

Services

Site 61 has self-check-in options and 24/7 building access. Guests help out with tasks such as putting out breakfast, cleaning, making beds, and planning events. Work exchange is available for a bed and daily breakfast. Volunteers gain hospitality experience and a flexible schedule to study or explore the city. There are four work exchange slots available. The property system administrators provide technical assistance and check accounts' activity to prevent fraudulent transactions.

“Site 61 Guesthouse presents a straightforward, budget-conscious option in New Orleans, though some experiences seem inconsistent with initial expectations. The hostel's atmosphere fosters a social environment, and while basic amenities are provided, clarity regarding services like luggage storage could improve. Ultimately, it appears a suitable choice for those prioritizing affordability and interaction, but careful confirmation of arrangements is advisable.”
