Wonderful Stay
This was everything I dreamed of when I envisioned New Orleans. Classic shotgun home with beautiful details, pocket doors, high ceilings, fireplace in rooms. Every amenity was provided, I could have just brought my clothing. We would love to come and stay again.

January Escape
This was the perfect location for us. Quiet neighborhood , away from the traffic and businesses of downtown, yet only 20 minutes away. The house is very New Orleans” and has lots of character. Just a short walk away is the Mississippi River and a nice walk on the levee. We didn’t have to bother Tricia at all because everything we needed or wanted was there. We had a great week exploring the area and left the day before it snowed! We would highly recommend this home whether staying for a couple of nights or a week like we did.

Two thumbs up!
We really enjoyed the week! Patricia was accommodating and the location was excellent for easy trips into the French quarter and beyond. Would stay again!
We loved this place. The hpuse itself had undeniable charm. Everything was in the house so that you could cook a meal for yourself. Tricia, the host is very responsive. The neighborhood seems very quiet. Delightful!

Had a great time… for the price it was spot on… well stocked hygiene essentials for those that don’t have any.. (we did) The refrigerator and stove wasn’t clean so much to my standards… The neighborhood view wasn’t like the brochure deemed… Quiet tho.. overall for the short stay it served its purpose. Thank you

Beautiful Gem of New Orleans
This property is a beautiful gem tucked away in a quiet neighborhood beside the water. The home was comfortable, and the kitchen was the best-stocked of any VRBO I have stayed at. My husband and I love to cook and have morning coffee, and this kitchen was clean and comfortable, with great appliances and snacks!
The owner's hospitality was evident from the moment we arrived. Check-in was a breeze, and we were delighted to find a wealth of local resources laid out for us. The art and graffiti book was a unique touch that we thoroughly enjoyed, and it inspired us to explore the local art scene.
The home was close to downtown New Orleans, and a cemetery was a short drive away. We enjoyed morning and evening walks by the river.
If I could give more than five stars, I would. I highly recommend it, and if we make our way back to New Orleans, we will stay again.

Great place to stay
The neighborhood was quiet. We felt safe. The place had all the amenities you could need. Because parking is such a hassle in New Orleans; We were in area where we could order takeout and Uber to Bourbon St. And French Quarter. Parking was provided on the property.

Local Vibes
My stay was quick and easy. Property manager made everything accessible and welcomed open communications if I had any issues or problems. Loved the property because it was tucked away while still being close to everything. I will be using it as a staple in future travels to the area when appropriate. I actually wished I had more down time to enjoy the house more. This is perfect if you are looking for a more homey and laid back feel for the area.

Cozy, charming, and clean!
My boyfriend and I loved this blue little gem. We drove to New Orleans, so getting around was easy for us, but the rental is conveniently located for Uber/lyft! We had a blast. The owner was so sweet and the home was immaculate. She even provided recommendations for eats and a bit of literature on NoLa history. Washer dryer, comfy bed, snacks, I could go on and on.. We will be back :))

New Orleans
The host was gracious and let us check in early due to travel times. The host was quick to respond to all our questions. The house was perfect old style well kept, comfortable relaxing. The house was minutes from the French Quarter, and the convention center. Nice quiet neighborhood in a historic place. Not far from the battle of New Orleans that was fought in the war of 1812. The place was amazing!
