Great Birthday Weekend

We had the best time for my Daughter's 23 Birthday! Harry was extremely helpful with places to eat and drink, and things to do. His hospitality was above and beyond. Don was at sea but stayed in contact with us right up to our arrival. Hopefully I will be able to meet him next stay! The people staying in the other rooms were fun and friendly! Having the dogs there was like being at home! I will never stay in a hotel again!

My family and I were looking for a quiet, low-key place to stay while we explored NOLA's restaurants for a week. This was a slice of paradise far beyond our expectations! Don and Harry are great hosts, and the property is elegant and well-maintained, yet homey, comfy and welcoming. The dogs were lovable, and Harry always had a steady stream of delicious homemade treats coming out of the oven. Don and Harry both were knowledgeable about the city's restaurants and steered us to some delicious meals. From now on, every time we make plans to go to New Orleans, our first move will be to email Don and check on Maison de Lagniappe availability. Thanks again!

I stayed 2 nights here in January 2012, I had a great time this place is really clean and it's very quite, it is close to Bourbon Street, it's a 10 minute walk to get to the craziness that is Bourbon Street. I walked alone very late at night and never felt uneasy. The kitchen is well stocked for breakfast to get your day going, the backyard is very relaxing with the sounds of water fountains, it would have been a nice place to drink my morning coffee if it had not been 30 degrees out. Don and Harry are very polite and helpful, it is a easy drive without much traffic and the parking is free, I parked my car Friday afternoon until I left Sunday morning, despite having Texas Lic. plates, Cowboys & UT stickers on the back, it was unmolested.

My husband and I were in New Orleans for the sugar bowl and while the game was a disappointment our stay was not! The Maison de Lagniappe is a beautifully appointed old home. The gardens are lovely and it is so obvious that this home is adored and well cared by Harry and Don the owners. It is exactly what one would expect in the Quarter. The home is located in a very safe location and is walking distance to anything you would want to see. Our host, Harry was super knowledgeable about the area and always available to help w/ places to sight see, directions, etc. I would strongly recommend this home to travelers

Myself, my husband, and my 12 year old daughter stayed at Maison de Lagniappe for a week. We chose this property after reading all of the positive reviews on VRBO. It was everything promised and more. Harry and Don were wonderful hosts with so much knowledge of the city to share and truly made you feel as if you were a guest in their home. The decor was exquisite, there was so much to see in and out of the house and our suite was very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was a delicious surprise every morning- pumpkin/pecan coffee cake, quiche, beanut butter muffins, biscuits, snacks and drinks all day! We ate each morning on the deck in the beautiful garden courtyard. Our daughter was thrilled with Freida, Verocca, and Lillie and played with them each night. We walked to the French Quarter, Canal Street, and the convention centre , went "home" for an afternoon break and back for dinner. We rented a car, but drove very little, except for an excursion to the plantations and to Lakeside Shopping Mall. Having rented many properties from VRBO this was definately our best yet! Harry and Don, thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality, and great company. It was a pleasure to meet you and Annette and Pat as well. Andrea, Mike, and Serena :)

Maison de Lagnaippe was the perfect place to stay during our recent trip to New Orleans. The owners, Don and Harry are so nice and friendly and accomodating. Harry is a very talented artist and we were privileged to be given a tour of his studio. They were always ready with recommendations if we asked and there was plenty of brochures and magazines about things to do. The backyard garden is styled after a Key West style garden, very lush and green and it was a wonderful place for coffee in the morning and the 3 cute dachshunds were around to greet us. The garden and house are full of so many interesting things. Everywhere we looked was something fun or interesting. We are two women and we got Suite #2 which consisted of a large bedroom with a 4 poster bed and a separate living room with a comfortable fold-out sofa. The kitchen was accessible day and night for coffee/tea/sodas/beer (leave a dollar in the cup - honor system) and pastry, fruit, cakes, toast, & bagels in the morning. We walked every day to the French Quarter, Riverfront, Canal Street, and the streetcar to Garrden District. It is located just a few blocks from the music clubs on Frenchmen Street which we loved. We took a cab back at night, although once we got our bearings, we could certainly have walked, but we were just too tired! I had considered finding a place right in the French Quarrter, but I am SO glad we found this place instead. I think it is the perfect location away from the craziness of the French Quarter, but a short walk away. The first day, we stopped at Port of Call and got a Monsoon to share which we took in a to-go cup. I 'm so glad we split it because that one drink kicked our butts (and I am not a novice drinker)! We took Harry's recommendation and ate at El Gato Negro behind the Old Mint. It was excellent! We had New Orleans/Southern food at the Praline Connection on Frenchmen St. which we really enjoyed. The street musicians on Frenchmen were fantastic, especially this group at the corner of Royal and Frenchmen on Saturday night playing big band tunes with dancers doing the jive, swing, etc. Very, Very fun. Not sure if they are there every weekend, but worth checking out. We both would defniitely stay at Maison de Langnaippe again, no question.

Our brief but fun visit to New Orleans was made more exiciting with our stay at Maison De Lagniappe. Don & Harry were wonderful hosts. Fun and interesting/entertaining conversations, good food and their home is a treasure with an eclectic mix of antiques, art and everything in between! The aim of our trip was to visit the WW II Museum but we were also within walking distance of the French Quarter, etc. We would definately stay again!

Thanks again for another great stay at you "home away from home". I was a little worried beings I was being accommodated by 5 twenty one year olds, but they just loved it. We walked everywhere we needed to go and the accomodations were wonderful. Harry, out host was wonderful, our last stay was Frank and Adele, dear friends for life now I must say, I will be planning another stay and hopefull I will finally be able to meet Don. I have to say I will never stay anywhere else in NOLA again. This is my little secret paradise that I just love. Thanks again guys for a wonderful feel like you are at home experience.

For starters, the location is great. Very near French Quarter and of course, since it is in the Marigny, there is Frenchmen Street nearby also. My husband and I never felt unsafe walking around. The house itself is completely charming, with nooks and crannies and neat things to see at every turn...including 3 very cute dogs. (Hi, girls!) The place is very clean, and the backyard is like a tropical paradise. Don and Harry are wonderful hosts; we felt at home the entire time we were there. We are already planning a return trip.
