We highly reccommend this house to any visitors to New Orleans. We stayed here for the BCS Championship Game and absolutely loved it. It is close enought to the Quarter, but far enough to avoid big crowds. There are some great spots Uptown located near this house. This is a must stay in New Orleans.

*****FIVE STARS! the house, location and city are worth the trip. We had a great time and our house provided everything we needed. No complaints from my wife and two daughters, just high fives for a great Thanksgiving family gathering. We will be back and this was rated as the best location of our 38 Thanksgiving gatherings.

I rented the Dryades house from 10/13-10/16 and I must say it's better than what you see online. The house was so clean, well kept and welcoming! We had everything we needed there, even the coffee in the morning! One of my fav's is the porch, so peaceful and tranquil. I sat out there every morning sippin' on some coffee. The neighbors are so friendly too! I will certainly be back to New Orleans AND the Dryades. A great way to vacation! :)

Great place to stay that gets you away from the hubbub and noise of downtown. Pasquales restaurant is practically across the street and we had both a lunch and a dinner there. Yumm The Dryades house was clean and very well equipped with amenities. Brought things we didn't need. This was effortless to book and Val always answered the phone by the second ring when I had a question. I would recommend to friends and family.

This place was great. It was in a perfect location, just a few blocks from the St. Charles streetcar. It is lovely inside and has so many amenities. I felt very safe in this neighborhood. Why stay in a cramped hotel room when this is the same price???? . I will definitely stay here again.

Several of my colleagues and I traveled in to NOLA for a conference the weekend of January 23. We live in Louisiana, and often travel to NOLA and stay in hotels. This was such a better option and we would do it again anytime. The house was lovely and comfortable and the restaurants in the area were great. Thanks!!

great place to stay. restaurants and other amenities very close as is the main downtown area. far enough from bourbon street that you are not involved in festivities but close enough to drive there in few minutes. only drawback is one room connect with next so have people walking through your bedroom to get from living room to kitchen. but found house very clean, kitchen well stocked and comforts like tv in every bedroom a real plus.

Our stay at the Dryades house was delightful. The property was comfortable, clean and safe. Val was great to work with--quick to respond to questions, and was able to work with us for early check in/late check out. Other than the great accomodations, nice touches included fresh flowers and drinking water in the fridge. Nice, walkable neighborhood, only three blocks from the St. Charles streetcar. Dryades House was a haven for us after long days of exploring New Orleans. We especially liked Il Posto, a little Italian place down the street. Simple and delicious food, just right for lunch or a light dinner.

Wonderful Home Away from Home

We stayed at the Dryades House for 4 nights in August for a family wedding. There were 6 of us who shared the whole house, including my 80 year old aunt and our 3 teenage daughters. We found there to be plenty of room for all of us. It was a very charming house, in a wonderful location, right near St. Charles Ave. and Magazine Street. The street is very quiet, and we were never disturbed by anyone walking by on the street. There was a nice steakhouse/bar directly across the street from the house, and one night we had a good dinner there, excellent steak. We also enjoyed feeding the stray cat that hangs around the house. I would definitely recommend this house to someone who wants a more personal feel to their visit to New Orleans, rather than staying in a sterile hotel room.

We had a great time in NOLA from April 5 - 9, in which I had the opportunity to celebrate my 34th bday with my family. Our accommodations at the Dryades House were so comfortable AND comforting after long days out on the town. We loved the location (in between the French Quarter and the Audubon Zoo) and how it was so close to the St. Charles Streetcar. The front porch was my favorite, as one night during a thunderstorm, I was able to sit out in the middle of the night and enjoy a good (sheltered) rain with a cup of coffee. Also a friendly little black and white cat from the neighborhood would visit on the porch with my kids every morning! The traditional shotgun home was well kept and definitely exciting for the kids to explore. We loved the flatscreens in each room and the curtains to separate the living area from the bedrooms at night. Thanks for your hospitality! We can't wait to visit again.
