Le Maison Carondelet

My friends and I stayed there for a bachelorette party weekend. The location is fantastic a short walk from shopping, cafe's, etc on Magazine Street. We used the trolley going in and out of the French Quarter which was loads of fun. Linda and Conrad were very responsive and helpful, and did everything to make our stay pleasant. Many of the girls in our group commented that if they come back with family, they'll stay at Le Maison Carondelet.

Our extended family of 5 plus one German Shepherd stayed over Christmas 2011. We really enjoyed everything at the house. The architectural details are great. The bead-board in the master bedroom and bath is really striking. The kitchen is fabulous (we cooked) and so well equipped. We had room for four women and one man to find a place to read, write, watch TV, sit and chat, email, or play with the dog without falling over one another. The stairs are steep and I have RA so I only went up and down once a day, but I knew this beforehand and it was fine. We loved Rouse's Grocery in the warehouse area, it has everything and the staff are great. The owner was very helpful when we couldn't figure out how to start the dishwasher. Would highly recommend.

The house was perfect. Centrally located within walking distance to downtown, the French Quarter, Magazine St., and located right in front of the St. Charles St. trolley. The house itself was in great condition. Great New Orleans charm with all new appliances extra amenities. The back patio was peaceful and quiet, and the front and rear second story porch provided an excellent view of the surrounding neighborhood. Comfortable and safe neighborhood, and close to restaurants, bars, and convenience stores.

...this house is even better than expected! When friends who arrived a little before us texted: 'We are here and the house is AWESOME!', I figured we'd made the right choice. We booked La Maison Carondelet knowing that it was well-situated along the St Charles Ave. Streetcar Line and in a lovely section of the Garden District (the friends and I who stayed there all grew up in nearby Slidell, so we sorta knew the area...), but we were still amazed by this stunning architectural gem. We were a group of 6 (late 30s/early 40s ~ two couples and a couple guys sans wives, getting together for a reunion). During the day, we walked to nearby Stein's Market & Deli (corner of Jackson & Magazine) for phenomenal sandwiches and a great beer selection, at night we caught the streetcar into the city (<15 minutes to canal St. or <20 minutes to the end of the line on Carrolton ~ Rock 'n' Bowl on Friday night = awesome!). In the late evening, the hot tub was a welcome place to relax. In the meantime, we loved the quiet balconies of the house and the relaxing courtyard, basking in the mottled sunshine with our beers, some cheese and several bags of Zapp's, meeting the friendly cats from next door while we caught up on life since we'd last been together. The kitchen is huge and fully-furnished, the bedrooms are spacious and beds super-comfortable, the couches in the parlor are great for lounging. There's plenty of charming features remaining from the house's mid-19th century origins, with enough thoughtful updates to make it feel 'contempory'. Maybe the tiniest complaint for 'old-fashioned' TVs (wanted to watch football in HD), but that's hardly worth a mention. Needless to say, Linda and Conrad's place is a gem and one we'll most certainly return to on our next visit to NOLA! The '11.11.11' event has come and gone; next up '12.12.12'? Cheers, Brian

Our stay was fantastic. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and convenient to the city. An added bonus was the courtyard patio, where we spent hours. Highly recommended.

...and dance in the kitchen! Yes, with the wonderful sound system, we found ourselves coming home every night and dancing in the kitchen. Thank you, Linda and Conrad for the welcome beverages and treats--wonderfully appointed beds and bathrooms. We enjoyed all of the windows and terraces--such a fun place to be for my 50th birthday bash. We loved every nook and cranny of the house--we all miss it already and want to come back!

Our party of 5 "lived" in this home for 5 days. The experience exceeded our expectations in every way. The kitchen, although retaining it's original 1850's flavor is modern and inviting. The 2 parlors provided a window to the world as it might have been in the late1800's. The bedrooms were inviting, large and comfy. The property was very clean and well maintained - we didn't experience any problems with the plumbing (although we had been advised that the plumbing is about as old as the house). I especially enjoyed opening the French doors to the back courtyard in the morning to sit and enjoy my coffee, watch the squirrels and enjoy the fragrant Sweet Olive that thrives in New Orleans. The property owners, Linda & Conrad, were extremely helpful; there is a wonderful book with maps and activity/restaurant recommendations for the local area, which we found very helpful. The location is excellent - so close to the St. Charles Street streetcar, which will take you to the Audubon Park & Zoo in one direction and to the French Quarter in the other. Within walking distance of the Lafayette Cemetery and Commander's Palace Restaurant, and of course, the Garden District is right there! Although the property has its own washer and dryer, I have to say that a trip to Igor's, around the corner on St. Charles (open 24/7) where you can enjoy a beer, listen to (loud) music, play pool with a college-age crowd, while you do your laundry is an experience! This is an experience I had from previous trips to NOLA and had to share with my travel companions. There are many recommendations for restaurants and activities in NOLA, but that is something you should explore and experience yourself! I'm looking forward to my next trip to NOLA, where I can enjoy La Maison Carondelet again.

"Southern Charm" greets you at the doorway of this beautiful home. The decor exemplifies New Orleans living at it's best...aged to perfection! We had six adults stay at the home (one using the sofa bed) and entertained friends and family nightly in the cozy backyard. The kitchen is well stocked with spices, coffee, creamers, sugars and trash bags (they recycle). The master bath is a true gem that had my designer friends clamoring for photos. The home offers comfortable beds, plenty of towels and a washer/dryer in the shed to keep from packing dirty clothes! The home is one block from the Saint Charles streetcar and walking distance to good restaurants. Conrad and Linda (the owners) are very accommodating and easy to work with. We appreciated the bottle of champagne and gourmet muffins provided. Our family is planning several returns to New Orleans and look forward to renting this home again.

We just stayed here for 5 weeks while my 2 yr old son received medical treatments. The house is clean and very nice, especially given the vintage. The owners are responsive and on the ball. Location is convenient as well. It is as advertised! Book with confidence.

This was our first experience with VRBO. We were extremely pleased with our selection of this property. Being in the area for a cruise leaving on July 14, 2011, we wanted to do a little sight-seeing for a few days before the trip. Having 6 children, ages, 12 - 21, this house was perfect. It was spacious, so everyone could meet together or find private space if they wanted to be alone. The house was very clean and well-maintained. Its "age" and decor helped to give us the real NOLA experience. The kitchen was better stocked than most time shares we have ever stayed at. The fresh flowers and "goodies" left were an added bonus. The owners were extremely helpful in answering any questions we had before and during our stay. We also had the privilege of meeting Linda, who was just as friendly and pleasant in person as she was on the phone! The short drive to the French Quarters was easy. The street car stop was just a couple blocks away on St. Charles, as were plenty of restaurants if we did not want to go into the main section of town. I would definitely recommend touring at least one cemetery and taking a horse and buggy ride. Don't forget to try the beignets at Cafe du Monde and shopping at the French Market. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone!
