Map & Owner's Profile
Historic Home Sleeps 6 - Only Steps Away from the Quarter!
Year Purchased: 2005
Why the Owner Chose Marigny-Bywater
Although Katrina forced us to turn our own residence into a vacation rental, we find New Orleans a very special place so we decided to open up our home to others so they can experience the magic of this city.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our house is very close not only to the French Quarter, but it is only a few minutes walk to Frenchman St. and many local restaurants and bars. If you are looking to explore the city on foot, this location is perfect and does not require you to rent a car to see the city. We almost never use a vehicle when we are in town because everything you need is close by. But for those days you just want to sit back and relax, nowhere is your time better spent then on our back porch, overlooking the tropical courtyard, sipping on a nice cocktail!
Owner's Map of Marigny-Bywater
New Orleans has always been a favorite destination for us and our dreams became reality when we bought this house in the spring of 2005, relocating permanently to the city. Only a few months later Katrina hit and forced us to find new jobs in another city. Although we live most of the year away from NOLA, it stays in our hearts wherever we go, however we still get down as often as possible.

Charm and character!

I fell in love with this house online. In reality, it's a bit more rustic than the photos indicate; however, it still has a certain charm one can only find in these old NOLA houses. Loved the bathrooms and back porch. We did not bring our dogs, but I really appreciate the fact that the owners allow pets! House manager Josh is really nice and helpful. The location is good and safe for walking almost anywhere in the Quarter. A few suggestions for the house: the kitchen needs a cutting board (lemons and limes for drinks!), and the downstairs bedroom needs a clothes bar in the closet. Our linens were really bare bones and seem like they could be upgraded a bit, too. If you're staying here on a weekend, do not miss the house made bacon bloody marys at Bar Tonique, in the 800 block of N. Rampart- just across from the park. An easy walk for the best bloody mary you'll ever have!

We really enjoyed our stay at this property. So comfortable, quiet and spaceous. Both couples had plenty of room to themselves, but with common areas that are important. Just two items we could have used more of - toilet tissue and light bulbs. These were missing with no nearby place to replenish.

I have stayed in several VRBO properties, and this one has been my least favorite. I have stayed in other places in the Marigny, and this one did not meet my expectations as I hoped it would. My family and I stayed here recently and while the house was spacious and had room for everyone, I have to give it an average rating due to a few things that I thought could have been better. The linens felt old and worn on both beds, and very stiff and uncomfortable on the pull out. The towels could have been a better quality, very old and worn also, and rough. The house was not very clean in my opinion, it looked like it needed a good cleaning before guests. There is no where to hang you clothing in the downstairs bedroom, and although I found an ironing board downstairs, I did not find the iron until a couple of days later, UPstairs in another closet. There were 3 TVs in the house, and only batteries in one of the remotes... and although we weren't there to watch TV, it would have been nice if they all worked. There was not enough toilet paper, and no soap unless you count the soap dispensers refilled with water. There were wet towels left in the washer that were starting to smell, not sure how long they were there.They might want to consider someone to clean up the yard also. I think for the rental price there has to be something better out there, although it was very spacious and in a good location, very close to everywhere we needed to be.
Owner response:Unfortunately, this party started off on the wrong foot and it continued throughout their stay. They arrived at the airport without the address of the house, instructions on how to gain access to the property or the property managers phone number. When I didn't immediately respond to their call, they were upset that I wasn't on-call for their every need. Although, the property manager was able to drop everything and meet them upon their call. As we state in all rental contracts, initial paper towels, toilet paper and soap is provided, everything above that is the responsibility of the guest. It's unfortunate that the party didn't feel the house was cleaned to their standards and we've notified our cleaning service so this won't happen in the future.

This was a perfect location. Most everything you want to do is within walking distance. Owners where very easy to work with, quick response on any questions. I'd suggest maybe using a different cleaning crew, wasn't bad but I'd just suggest looking into someone who will clean it better. I'm sure you as the owners would not know this since your not close to your rental. For what your paying I'm sure you'd expect them to do a better job. Over all we had a great time and would certianlly stay again, thank you Patrick for allowing us to stay in your home.

I wanted to send you a quick message to say that we had a wonderful time staying at your property. The house worked out great and met all of our expectations. New Orleans is a wonderful town and unfortunatly we only had 4 days to experience it. The home is really located in a truely eclectic neighborhood, that added a lot to our trip. Iggy's was a great starting and ending point for our evenings/mornings. One great part of this location was the ability to walk to just about any where. Frenchman St. was just about 5 mins away by foot, and Bourbon was about 10. We will keep your property in mind the next time we travel that way again!

The house is very spacious & wonderfully decorated. We loved the large porch and palm trees. The fenced in yard gave our children somewhere to run around and play. The only cons were the floors were not cleaned very well -our feet turned black from walking around barefoot & there was a small water leak at the beginning of the outside entryway that caused a smell. Other than those two things- great house, great location, and very spacious!

We rented this during a conference for two couples, so that non-conferencing spouses could have a good time too. The neighborhood is perfectly situated for getting around town, and much quieter than the quarter. Great access for urban bicyclists (and a 5 minute walk from Michael's Bikes which has rentals)....we rode to Uptown and to Mid City comfortably. The house itself: very comfortable, roomy, and has great communal space while providing privacy for couples (bedrooms are at opposite ends of house). (Note on arriving that the front of the house has been painted: it's now orange.)

My husband and I rented this from Seattle having no idea about the neighborhood and never having seen the house. A couple of our friends met us for a few days and stayed with us here and it was such a pleasant surprise to be in this great neighborhood close to the quarter. The house is so nice, we didn't want to end our vacation. The rooms are, well, very roomy and the backyard is so sweet with the screened in porch. The owners made it really easy to rent and the transactions were simple. We are planning to stay here again next year.

Really liked that this was away from Bourbon St. and the noise associated with it. Very close to Frenchman’s Street which I would consider to be the better area to be in. Really appreciated the neighbourhood feel. Local quality restaurants and pubs all close by. House is set up in two distinct areas so you’re not tripping over your other guests. I would definitely recommend this place to others.
