This is my second stay at this property; both times I felt 100% at home! I visit the city every 2-3 months--usually on a solo or +1 status. However, each time we have stayed in this house it has comfortably slept 3 couples. The property is clean, the neighborhood is lovely, and working with Carrie is as easy as pie! Yes, you need to drive to the quarter and surrounding attractions, but it's well worth it! Believe me, you wont regret booking this house!

I stayed here with seven total people, and we had plenty of room. There's a small grocery store two blocks away, and the walk to the French Quarter and Bourbon Street was very doable. The living area is very comfortable - I even had some friends who live in New Orleans say this would be a cool place to live!

I rented this house for my family of five. Everyone loved the house atmosphere, and all was as described. The house was a great place to hang out, and I wish we had more time to spend there, but we were in town for the music. The neighborhood includes a great breakfast/coffee shop, groceries and supplies. Although the house is outside the edge of what you would call the tourist area, the walk (or drive) to the french quarter is picturesque. We had a car,but next time I would plan to rent bikes to get around and see more of the city. I would definitely stay here again.

I rented the Gypsy House for friends coming in to town for my 25th birthday. We were so impressed when we came into the front door. We went running around the house like the castmates on MTV's "Real World" do, it is SUCH a cool spot. It was very cold when we arrived, but heated up quickly. The owner left a great 'manual' with menus and sights to see for the guests. The kitchen was fully stocked, and when I lost my voice after a long night of partying, I was happy to search the kitchen and find herbal tea and honey. This place totally made my birthday weekend worthwhile for me and my guests. We were all able to live together and not be isolated by separate hotel rooms. We were able to cook a big breakfast and enjoy each other's company in one space that easily accommodated the 6 of us. One recommendation is to be bring an extra mirror (we did) if you will have a lot of girls with you as there is only on bathroom with one round mirror. Having the extra mirror made what could have been a serious traffic jam, almost seamless. DEFINITELY do this if you have a group visiting New Orleans, great quiet location- just minutes from the French Quarter and totally cool space. Lastly, I live here so it wasn't a big issue, but I would rent a car. its just easier that way.

Four of us (2 couples) stayed here for a long weekend and were very happy with the accommodations. The place is as presented and has a very relaxed feel to it. The neighborhood is cool, lots of local activity - had a great dinner nearby at Feelings Cafe. The owner was great to deal with, very upfront about small issues in her instructions to us although we experienced no problems at all.

What a great spot in a great neighborhood! We stayed in this beautiful, convenient condo for Jazz Fest. Just the two of us. Old college sweethearts who had not seen each other in 29 years. We truly enjoyed the space, sitting on the balcony for sunsets, walking to Flora's for coffee in the morning, walking to Feelings for dinner in the evening. What a wonderfully romantic spot to rekindle an old flame. We can't wait to go back.

We stayed in this property and thoroughly enjoyed its character and proximity to the Marigny, with easy access to great restaurants, bars, and excellent music. The loft is very comfortable and has all of the comforts of home in an historic building. This property is great for a group of friends who want to spend a few days enjoying the Marigny or the French Quarter.

Wow! I grew up in New Orleans, so I am pretty picky about all things related to my wonderful city. I have to say though, GREAT JOB! This place has a mix of old world and modern that I just loved. I could walk to anything I needed. Close the the quarter and Freanchman street; just perfect. Thank you so much, I will for sure stay there again! Kirk
