Excellent stay! Clean, comfortable, well appointed, beautiful historic house in celebrated neighborhood. Close enough to walk to French Quarter, but also easy access to to other areas of town. Great back deck area. Exceeded my expectations.

Nice looking on the inside. Keep an eye out for the area near the back yard. House is old and the climate is super humid so be understandable that things made of wood can rot down and break pretty easy. We personally had a problem with leftover nicotine pouches found all around the pool area and our dog ate one. This whole craziness happened that lead to a vet bill, but the host group were very good about working us on pet fees and reimbursement of the vet bill. Back to the location, its very close to I-10 overpass so it can get loud due to passing cars and a lot of people tend to gather under the overpass. These groups gathering under the overpass can range from car clubs to food trucks and people selling stuff. It tends to change from night to night. I would say this property is great for groups looking to party in town, not so much for families.

Lovely older home with a great personality

The beds were great. Check in was super easy. The only complaint we would have is the hot water did not last long enough for 2 people to shower completely without the water getting super cold. We would stay again

Mardi Gras Bachelorette

This house was perfect for our group of nine for a bachelorette party during Mardi Gras celebrations! The host was very responsive leading up to the trip, check-in/check-out was seamless, the location was great, and the home itself was spacious & clean. The pictures don’t do the property justice. I would recommend this house to my friends & family!
