                        We stayed in this property for Mardi Gras 2013. It is a beautiful home in a great location! You are in walking distance of many great restaurants, shops, 2 grocery stores, the street car, etc. The owners were very welcoming and available to answer questions about the area. Most of the parades come right in front of the house which was awesome. If you don't want to be on the street for the parades, you can also view from the large balcony off of the master bedroom. This is the second time we've stayed in one of Liz and MJ's properties and have been pleased w/ both. Looking forward to another trip to NOLA and would definitely stay in one of their places again. Thanks again for a great time!!

                        My girlfriends and I really enjoyed staying there. It was very private and all the comforts of home. I highly recommend this house to anyone that travels to New Orleans. I will definitely stay there again. ONly 1 block from the streetcars. One onr the best things about staying there is that the neighborhood felt absolutely safe.

                        My Husband and I along with our eldest daughter spent a wonderful week at this beautiful home. Our experience could not have been better. The owners were gracious and accomodating, and we were impressed at the ease of booking this unit. The location is great, it takes you back to the Old South and this period home adds to the experience. I would highly recommend this property, we will be back.

                        I stayed at this property in late July 2011 with a group of 5 female friends, including me. It is very nicely decorated and very clean. The master bedroom has a full bath. Bedroom 2 and 3 are incorporated as open-air lofts on top of the living room. One has a queen-sized bed and the other a full-sized trundle bed. The kitchen is well stocked, furniture is comfortable and technology is well maintained (flat screen TV/remote/DVD player and wireless internet access). The location was perfect. It is very much a walkable area with easy access to stores, bars and the Canal St. cable car (which goes to the French Quarter). The owners were very easy to communicate with and made the entry/exit procedure smooth. We highly recommend this rental.

                        There is only 1 private bedroom at this place and a loft above a living room. The loft has two double size beds in it. The loft itself has no door to it and is open although above, to the living room. We stayed there with 3 adult couples and obviously this place was inadequate for that. Perhaps would be good for a family with children or something. Extremely disappointed with the misleading description.. The description and pictures seem carefully crafted to misrepresent this place as 3 bedrooms. It was very clean and nicely decorated. Great location and all that.

                        Owner response: After receiving a vulgar and rude e-mail from this renter, we immediately wrote and called him to see if we could offer him another property to satisfy him. He never did respond and we immediately became worried that his anger might cause him to destroy our property and its contents. He seemed more interested in spouting off than really resolving any problems. We drove to the property to investigate and found out that he did not send away his friends with refunds like he mentioned in his e-mail, but that they were all very much using the property as we had imagined. On our webpage, we describe the property as a 3 bedroom property which includes a two-bedroom, multi-level loft. Some people see it as a 3 bedroom, and are very happy with the arrangements. A picture shows the height difference between the two levels which is further separated by furniture to give added privacy. Pictures also show an opening onto the living room from the loft. The lower part of the loft has a full-size bed shown and the bed in the upper loft is a trundle that opens into a full. When people call and ask about our sleeping arrangements, we then have the chance to fully describe the whole property and answer other questions which is what we recommend to everyone for any property listed on www.homeaway. Luckily he did leave the property in fair condition and upon receiving a second rude and threatening e-mail; we highly recommend that other property owners be aware of this renter. For future customers, we hope that you consider the source and look at all of our properties and their reviews; we are rated 5 out of 5 each time for every property. We hope that our other posts paint a more accurate picture of the quality that we offer for the reasonable price, in a great location and the amenities that are most often sought. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

                        My family stayed in the Napoleon condo for Thanksgiving, and we all enjoyed it very much. It was tastefully furnished, immaculate, comfortable, quiet, and very spacious. It was great to have a balcony overlooking historic Napoleon Ave. It was an easy walk both to the St. Charles Ave streetcar line, and to the Magazine St. bus. This 3-bedroom condo is, however, not suitable for small children, because the 2nd bedroom is upstairs, and the 3rd bedroom is on a loft above it, with a large open space along the stairway, which could be dangerous to little children. But it is ideal for adults and older children. Our stay there was thoroughly enjoyable, and we look forward to a return visit.

                        The Napolean House was everything my girlfriends and I expected. It was very clean and decorated beautifully with New Orleans charm. The location was good, centrally located to all of the areas of the city we wanted to explore. I would stay here again, as well as recommend it to friends and family.

                        the home was in an ideal location for our stay as we could access the garden district restaurants and take an enjoyable trolley ride to the french quarter. It was nice to be able to go the bustle of the Quarter and then get back to the home to relax away from all the activity. the home was very clean and comfortable.

                        A great apartment in a great location. The unit was charming, nicely appointed and very clean. Great for families visiting students at Tulane or Loyola. Close to all kinds of great Garden District eating and shopping as well as allowing for easy acces to other areas including City Park and the French Quarter. Lots of parking but also only two block to the St. Charles Street Car. I hope to stay here again.

                        Recommended for: Tourists without a car, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing, families with young children.
