Our group stayed at both levels of the Gypsy house for two weeks in March of 2012. We all had a fantastic time. The units lived up to our expectation as far as bedrooms, sleeping areas, and wonderful gathering spaces for our group of volunteers to have dinner, make breakfast, and overall celebrate our experiences in New Orleans with Historic Green. We definitely will be talking to Carrie again for 2013. We loved the proximity to Mimi's and Flora cafe, and enjoyed being in a neighborhood with welcoming and friendly people.

Amazing place, neighbourhood, and experience

8 of us came down for the first time to New Orleans and we were overwhelmed with how great both the neighbourhood and this rental is. All of us fit comfortably, it was clean, unique and truly an amazing experience. Everything was an easy walk or cab ride away. It is close to Frenchmen St. which has some of the best live music in the city. It was also just enough away from the madness of Bourbon St. to give us a moments rest! I can't say enough positive things. Carrie was also an amazing help in getting the trip organized. There were plenty of pamphlets on the area, cab numbers, restaurant menus and more if we ever felt a little lost! I definitely fell in love with New Orleans and a huge part of that was staying here.

My friends and I rented both units while we were in New Orleans for a conference. It was a 20-30 minute walk to the conference center, but no one complained! The house is simply cool. The neighborhood was a blast and we had a wonderful time. Many adventures and laughter.

When we arrived at the property, the previous guests had absolutely trashed the place. They had used it for a wedding reception and the caterer's tables were stacked against the outside wall, both beds were broken, the living space chairs were both broken. The pictures are very deceiving. The place looks much nicer in pictures than when you are actually in it. Fortunately we did not spend much time in the property itself. The cleaning person worked extremely hard to clean up after the mess before us but was unsuccessful. The sheets on the bed were still wet when we went to bed that night. I would not stay in this property again. The upstairs until looked much nicer from the outside but was unavailable during the time of our stay. The location is very nice but the property was not properly maintained and very expensive for what we actually got. The owner is very nice and quite helpful but that does not make up for a far less than adequate property. I would steer clear of this place unless you are looking for an open space party facility. As that is what it is set up for.

This property is a wonderful place to stay. The neighborhood was extremely nice with several fun and exciting local places to eat and hang out. Felt COMPLETELY safe the entire time. The interior of the house is absolutely adorable. This was the perfect place for a vacation. Will definitely stay again. Carrie is amazing, she made wonderful recommendations for food and was extremely pleasant to deal with. We even got the pleasure of meeting her while we were there! Highly recommend this property!

Some of my college friends and I take a trip every year and this year was New Orleans and the gypsy house mde the trip so much better. The house is beautiful and had plenty of room for 5 guys. The French quarter was a short 15 min. walk or a $12 cab ride for when we didn't feel like making the trek. Carrie was very helpful with any questions I had and very prompt with returning e-mails. I would suggest this house over a hotel stay to anybody.

We stayed here during a convention downtown and over the end of Mardi Gras. The house was a great alternative to a hotel - better value, beautifully decorated and well-equipped. Carrie was extremely helpful throughout our stay. The neighbourhood was also really laid-back and friendly. I would definitely go back in a heartbeat.

This house is great! It's in a lovely neighborhood, the decor is cute, and it's very affordable. My only recommendation is that they fix the water pressure in the shower, which was super weak and it took everyone a really long time to rinse their shampoo/conditioner out.

I would highly recommend this house for people visiting New Orleans. Recently stayed with a group of 6 and we throughly enjoyed the house. The location/neighborhood is neat, short walk to a 24 hour grocery store, the walk to the Quarter is around 15-20 minutes but it is a lovely one. Loved the patio and the overall "personality" of the house. We are already planning another trip to New Orleans and I will be staying here! Thanks Carrie.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Gypsy House the first weekend in December '09. It is so much better than staying in a small, stuffy hotel room. Tall ceilings, spacious floor plan made us feel right at home-with all the amenities of your own home. There is a grocery store just one block over. On Frenchmen's Street, just a few streets over, you can hang out with the locals and hear great Cajun music. This is a great place to stay if you need a respite from all noise & people but yet still very close to the French Quarter. We will definitely be back to the Gypsy House!

Great place, spacious. Close to some really nice neighborhood restaurants and hangouts. Stayed downstairs and loved it much better than staying in a hotel. If you are coming from someplace else, the neighborhood at 1st seems iffy, but it was very safe.

We stayed at the apartment the weekend after Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time. It's a great location. We easily walked to Frenchman Street, the French Quarter (about 15 minutes), and some wonderful neighborhood establishments. It's funky, Bohemian, and a great taste of NOLA that seemed to us to be much more authentic than the big hotels over on Canal St. It's not a typical tourist experience, which is what we enjoyed the most about it. The apartment was great and you could really see its roots as a former cafe. Like the neighborhood, it's perfect for someone looking for a more local experience than the big hotels. If you're young or young at heart, try it. We really enjoyed it and would stay again.
