Mardi Gras Cottage, 4 km to French Quarter

If you are a person that is concerned about clean bedding, this is the property for you! This is a one bedroom, one bath cottage with all amenities. There is NO carpet in the cottage, only beautiful porcelain tile and area rugs. Owner was born in this almost world famous neighborhood and can direct you to all the local watering holes and restaurants that New Orleans is famous for. We are off the beaten path, and can steer you away from the tourist traps. The battle field of New Orleans is one mile from this property. See where General Andrew Jackson and the pirate Jean Lafitte teamed up and defeated the English and liberated the United States of America.

Start of spring break

We arrived and the owner had sent me all info we needed a few days beforehand, it was great that there was a binder full of informative advice on where to park and eateries and to watch out for SCAMMERS. Definitely a great stay.

Loved it!

We were happy with our stay and would happily return. Great location. We spent a lot of time on the covered patio, but would suggest a fan be made available (mosquitoes were a nuisance at times).

Family Reunion

This was a nice property. The cottage was cute and comfortable. Close to stores and restaurants. It never took long for Uber to get there and the rates to Downtown were very reasonable, especially compared to parking your own car. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely

The neighbors were nice, the accommodations were nice. Michael was awesome. The neighborhood was close to the fun, but felt safe. The only minor downside was the bed/couch in the livingroom was uncomfortable to sit on for visits. We would 100% recommend this place.

Great little house

This property was great to bring our dogs to. The only thing I would say is to maybe get a chair for the livingroom. The day bed does not provide comfortable seating.

Quiet place away from the noise.

Felt like a real retreat. We didn't use it but nice to have a full kitchen. We loved the covered patio. Jasmine and begonias smelled wonderfull in the yard. A bird and butterfly haven. Michael was very nice and easy to deal with. Thank you!!!

Not what we thought

The neighborhood was not what we expected and thus we chose to stay at a Residence Inn in Metarie.

The Best

Our GPS sent us on a totally out of the way route. Michael and his wife came to meet us and guided us to the cottage. Very very nice people. The cottage was sooo nice...tastefully decorated inside and out. Gorgeous lush yard and flowering plants. Easy access to to all attractions and a Walmart nearby for groceries. Thank you Michael and family for sharing your space. Everything you need for a lovely and safe vacation is at the Mardi Gras Cottage. Definitely will stay again.

Great First Stay with Vrbo

Never having used one of these services before, I was a little nervous. However, this property was great. Loved having a washer/dryer, came in super handy. Very cute place overall. Only minor inconveniences: some stains on the sheets made us unsure if they had been washed, and there was not an extra Q set in the house, so we washed them. Turns out it was just stains, but I'd probably bleach them or leave them as a backup in the closet & put some new ones on. Also, there's a "New Orleans smell"... I think it's the water (it was always stronger after flushing) but at first we thought it was from someone having an animal in there, maybe on the throw rugs. An automatic air freshener would do the trick, we got some Febreze and it made all the difference. Loved being a few miles from the fairgrounds but still far enough out to NOT be touristy or sketchy. Great diners and easy shopping right down the road, close to Chalmette Battleground Memorial. Would definitely stay again!

Great Dog-friendly Cottage

(I’m not sure what the winery experience is as we did not see any wineries). We enjoyed staying at this property with our small dog. There’s plenty of grass on both sides of the property (there’s a home and two separate cottages). The cottage is perfect for the two of us; it also had a day bed that pulls out, but we found it somewhat uncomfortable to sit on as there’s not a couch. We alternated sitting on the recliner chair. The bed was comfortable to sleep on and towels, shampoos/liquid soap available. The cottage was clean and has basics available for cooking. We appreciated the booklet giving recommendations for restaurants! We went to Parish Cafe and Me-Me’s. We felt safe and would definitely come back with our dog! The str Jazmine arch between the two cottages smelled amazing!
