Such a great find in the Lower Garden District!

Without a doubt, I would stay in this condo again when visiting NOLA. The place was clean, spacious, full of character, and located in an idea neighbor with transportation only blocks away. There was even chickory coffee for us--such a nice touch! Michael is a consummate host, arriving to greet us late in the evening and being available if we needed anything. Don't waste your money on a hotel room if this place is available!

Condo met all my expectations. Very comfortable for my husband, myself and two large 20 something sons. Convenient to St. Charles Avenue street car and Magazine Street, where there are many restaurants, shops to enjoy, etc. Easy to get to downtown New Orleans. Beautifully decorated, large bathroom, very clean and well kept. Highly recommend.

We loved our New Year's at 2012 Camp Street...a great condo, excellent location and a conscientious landlord who checked in on us to see that all was going well....and it was! Would absolutely give this spot five stars...simple accommodations but with everything you need!

Perfect base for our family's stay in NOLA

This was our family's first trip to New Orleans. We were traveling with our two children, 17 and 22 years old, and my sister (five in all). We stayed nearly a week in the Garden District Condo. It met or exceeded our expectations. We loved our accommodations, which were charming and tidy. The owner was great to work with and very hospitable. Michael provided useful resources, both prior to (via e-mail) and during (via a notebook) our visit. His tips greatly enhanced our experience. During our stay, we had a minor problem accessing wi-fi, and he promptly responded and followed up to make sure it was resolved. He made us feel welcome, though we never actually met. The neighborhood and location were excellent--not too busy, but close too the action. We spent a good deal of our time in the French Quarter and Marigny, which were fairly convenient. Off-street parking at the condo was a bonus, and we frequently left our rental car. We strolled to Magazine Street for breakfast (fun and funky "Slim Goodies," per Michael's recommendation, provided my favorite meal of the trip), or coffee at Mojo's; we browsed the shops along the avenue. We also appreciated the proximity to trolley service, just a few blocks walk from the condo. The kitchen and dining area in our condo were a bit minimalist, but fine for light fare--which is all we needed with the many great cafes and restaurants to sample. The laundry facilities came in handy. Although we shared a single bathroom, it was roomy and nicely appointed. With a second-story entrance and a loft, visitors must be willing to cope with stairs. All in all, the place was well equipped, and we all agreed it was a very good value. We found New Orleans to be a superb city, very warm and welcoming and fun. We anxiously look forward to our next visit, and we would undoubtedly look first to one of Michael's rentals.

Great Lower Garden District Condo

Guest: Jeff ATL (Atlanta, GA)
Date of Stay: 10/28/11 Review Submitted: 11/09/11

The condo was very clean and well appointed. Pleasant artwork and furnishings adorn the interior. The location could not be any better for a stay in New Orleans. The lower garden district is safe and quite with plenty of things to do nearby. Close to the French Quarter and within walking distance to shops and bars on Magazine as well as St Charles. The owner is very professional and courteous. I will definitely book again on future trips.

GREAT CONDO, GREAT LOCATION

Guest: Holly (Portland, OR)

This condo is wonderful. It was clean and had everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds are comfortable. There are extra towels and bedding. It is quiet and cozy while being only a short block from great restaurants, boutiques, coffee and antique shops. We walked or took the streetcar everywhere including downtown and the French Quarter. I would definitely stay here again.

I found this wonderful rental through VRBO. My friends and I take an annual guys trip to a Bears game some place warm. This year it was New Orleans.We were lucky to find this house. The house is located in a beautiful district and very short 5-7 ride to Bourbon street area. The house accomodate our party very well. It was clean and well kept. I would and will definitely recommend this house in particular to any travelers. The owner met and exceeded our needs without any hestiation. Great place to stay as the best alternate to staying downtown. If you are looking to be in the middle of everything that goes on down on Bourbon street this is not the place for you, however if you are looking for a place that feels like home and clsoe enought to everything then your search is over. I promise you will not be disappointed. Don't take my word for it, read the other reviews and see the similiarities. Safe travels futire travelers. Mike again thanks for everything.

Nice place but heating and noisy birds

Guest: Ella (Vancouver,BC,Canada)
Date of Stay: 02/05/11 Review Submitted: 08/19/11

We were 3 adults with an 18 month old and stayed here in Feb. It was a nice place with a great location. Walkable to the street car. However, the heating was a bit hard to adjust. One room was much more hotter than the other, we finally changed the vents to have it more evenly distributed. My other complaint was that there was really noisy birds chirping at 5am and it would wake my baby up, can't blame the owner for this but I wanted to comment on this. The owner was really responsive and was nice to deal with. The other thing is that 1 bathroom was hard to share amongst so many people.

Owner response:Thank you for your review, Elmira. I was surprised that it is the end of August and you stayed with me in early Feb. and I was not aware of any unfavorable situations during your stay until now. My cell phone is always an immediate contact to me during your visit and I am quick to respond to any and all guest requests (as you nicely mentioned and also referenced within my many reviews below). Heat/Air vents occasionally get moved by previous guests and sometimes may need to be adjusted to your preference. Sorry about the birds. I personally manage all my properties specifically so I can be available to my guests, if needed. My goal is always to provide you with comfortable, home-like lodging that will enhance your stay in New Orleans. Cheers!

Birthday in New Orleans

I recently spent 2 weeks in Michaels condo to celebrate my 40th b-day. I had a variety of friends and family join me at different times over the 2 weeks and all of us were very pleased. Not only was it in a safe neighborhood/good location, it was extremely convenient to anything we needed and/or wanted. It was just a block away from very good restaurants and shopping, a few blocks from nice walking tours in the Garden District and about 5 blocks to the streetcar to take you Uptown or to the French Quarter. The full kitchen was a huge plus when we just felt like staying home for a meal instead of going out. There was also a BBQ so we could bbq some fresh shrimp from one of the local markets. We had a really great time, it felt like a home away from home and I will definitely recommend staying here.
