Perfect Location

Review Submitted: 01/29/12
If possible, I would give 4 1/2 stars because the walls, particularly in the bathroom, need a fresh coat of paint and the mattress was soft & saggy. However, we would absolutely stay there again! The neighborhood was very safe & quiet, but just a short walk from Frenchman's St & Bourbon St. Dionne was quick to respond to any questions and it was absolutely spotless.
Owner response:we will work on the mattress and the wall. thanks, and hope you will come again.

This property was absolutely perfect. It was very quiet and secure, and also within walking distance of so many great things--the French market, the river, shopping, restaurants, Jackson Square, jazz clubs--I could go on and on! Thank you for sharing it with us!

I am in love and I will definitely be back to stay at this condo. Emir and Dionne are both quick to reply to any kind of requests and only more than happy to help out in any way they can. The pricing is perfect and the condo is beautiful. I can't think of a single complaint. Enjoy Bourbon street which is a block away but make sure to visit Frenchmen Street it was so much more fun and less drunk tourists. I have bragged nonstop about my little find and have friends interesting in visiting theirselves. Thank you so much Emir and Dionne!

This was the perfect location for our family vacation! Walking distance to almost everything including the trolley, easy parking for when we did use the car (road trip to Oak Alley & other plantations. The neighborhood felt really safe, and we walked back late a few nights from the French Quarter, but its close proximity to Bourbon St made that no problem. Loved Frenchmen's Street, doubt we would have traversed it as much if we'd stayed elsewhere. Condo itself was clean and nicely furnished. Really nice that it was inside courtyard, so nice and quiet. Dionne was FANTASTIC, mailed my missing shoe back to me when I discovered I'd left it there. Would definitely stay here again.

This place was perfect. Within walking distance from everything! And if it wasn't - it's in walking distance to the trolleys. Never needed to rent a car the whole week! Had a great time. Very clean and private - away from the craziness that is Bourbon street - but yet just a short walk away! Little convienient store right next door was a plus. Tiny walk to the not-so-touristy bars and jazz clubs of New Orleans where the locals hang out. LOVED IT!!

I was in New Orleans for business and pleasure and this was the perfect property for both. I was in town to look for a place to live as I'm relocating to the area. As soon as I walked through the door, I wish this place were available because wanted to move right in. The photos were very accurate. It’s quaint and cozy. The sofa was so comfortable I could barely sit on it without wanting to take a nap. The kitchen had every utensil I needed. I just loved cooking with a cast iron pan! There was ample closet space and the bed super comfy! You don’t need a car. You can walk everywhere. It’s a short walk to Frenchman and a nice stroll to the French Quarter. The Spotted Cat was my favorite place for music on Frenchmen but there are so many music clubs to enjoy – Snug Harbor, DBA, Maison, Blue Nile are great! Jeremy Davenport at The Ritz is not to be missed. Meauxbar was my favorite fancy restaurant. Pravda is a great bar. But there are too many great places to discover for yourself. There’s nothing about this place I didn’t enjoy!
Owner response:Thank you for your response. Very glad you had a great time at the condo. Good luck in your move to New Orleans. If you need any help in that regard, let me know.

My husband and I stayed at this condo last year for our 10th anniversary. We had such a great trip and enjoyed the friendly city. What a great location.....in between the Quarter and Faubourg Marigny! We loved walking to Snug Harbor, throughout the Quarter, and felt very safe. The condo was clean and had everything we needed. Mr. Phillips was very helpful with the arrangements...along with Dionne. She gave us great tips about local music...one of the reasons we were there! Definitely would love to come again! Had such a great experience with this rental from VRBO..we used VRBO to find a cottage in England and will use it again for our next trip!
Owner response:Thank you for taking the time to write this detailed review. As I was born and raised in New Orleans, I always want a tenant to have a great time in my city. Please come again.

We were in town for just a few days for a wedding and this condo was the perfect location to all of the French Quarter bars/shops plus a short walk to Jackson Square. The condo was immaculate and the area was quiet even though it was close to Bourbon Street. Parking was always available when we needed it but the condo location was ideal so we walked almost everywhere! We had a wonderful time and enjoyed staying at your condo. Thank you!

Mardi Gras Stay - Couldn't Have Been Better
Guest: Cynthia

Date of Stay: 03/04/11
Review Submitted: 03/13/11
My family stayed here for Mardi Gras and our experience couldn't have been better. The condo is compact but very nicely furnished and comfortable. The bed is comfortable and the kitchen is small but well stocked. The location is wonderful - just out of the hubbub of Bourbon St. and the French Quarter and a few blocks from the jazz of Frenchman's St., the French Market, and the streetcar to down or up town. The private courtyard provides a quiet place to relax. But the biggest asset is the friendly, kind, and helpful woman that maintains the condo. Prior to our stay she provided me with pages of emails providing requested information on restaurants, music, how to best see the parades etc. She picked us up at the airport for a reduced fee, gave us a ride to the parades, continued to contact us during our stay to check on our needs, and provided everything we could want to make our visit a success. What a jewel of a person! We found everything to be just as described. Internet access was good. The owner is also responsive and helpful. This was a very special and unique experience.
Owner response:Thank you so much, and yes, Dionne is a gem. I hope you will come again.
