  • I stayed here for my first visit to New Orleans in July 2009, and we could not have picked a better place to stay. The condo was fantastic, and if I were looking to buy in that area I would definitely be making an offer! The location is perfect for visiting the French Quarter; it is only a couple of blocks to either Decatur or Bourbon streets, but it is so quiet when you enter the courtyard. We appreciated the hospitality shown to us by both the owner and the building manager.

  • Feel at home in the French Quarter! We stayed in the Monroe’s apartment on Chartres for parts of July and August of this year (2009) and had a wonderful time. This was our first experience using VRBO, so we decided on New Orleans since we had once lived in the area and knew the city well. That made it easier to narrow down our search to a particular part of the city (The French Quarter) and even pick a particular section where we wanted to stay (Esplanade side near Chartres and Royal streets). The Monroe’s condo was exactly what we were looking for--a two bedroom with a full kitchen--and in exactly the right spot. Since we were planning an extended stay (4 weeks), I emailed Linda to get a quote for the dates we wanted and she responded very quickly and immediately made us feel better about the whole experience as she is a very nice person who is obviously concerned that her guests have the best experience possible. Our arrival and move into the condo was flawless. We loved the location, the building, the dark blue swimming pool in the courtyard, the other residents (especially Wayne downstairs who directed us to the best places to eat and drink), and the quiet private back balcony. The full-sized refrigerator and stove were real bonuses as we were not planning on eating out for 30 days. Everything about the place met or exceeded our expectations and we really felt at home in the French Quarter after just a few days of settling in. We prefer the Frenchman, Decatur, Chartres, Royal area with the more “local” restaurants and Jazz clubs to the Bourbon Street crowd, so this was absolutely perfect for us; but, Bourbon street is just a few blocks up and the “hot” area is just a few more blocks down towards Canal, so the condo really is centrally located for the whole French Quarter without being in tourist central. We had such a wonderful time that we are already planning our stay for next year!

  • What a magnificent property and what a lovely owner! I had never been to New Orleans, although my husband visited several years ago. I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I absolutely fell in love with this city and Linda's beautiful condo. (In fact, my husband wanted to check into buying an adjacent condo that appeared to be vacant.) We have stayed in several VRBO properties over the past couple of years. NEVER has an owner called to check in with us to ensure we arrived safely, were comfortable, found parking, etc. Linda truly makes you feel like a guest (friend, really) who is visiting her home. We arrived very late at night and received a phone call from Linda just before 11 p.m. saying, "y'all must have just arrived." She must have called more than once, as we were expecting to arrive around 10 p.m. This property is not only clean, comfortable, charming and quiet, but it's also in an ideal location - surrounded by beautiful historic buildings and very close to all the attractions of the Quarter. Take Linda's recommendations - eat at Irene's and Port of Call. Both are fabuous. We thoroughly enjoyed the city, the condo and Linda's hospitality. Unfortunately, the secret is out and this place is understandably popular. Oh well, we'll just have to ensure we plan FAR in advance the next time we come to New Orleans. There WILL be a next time and you can be sure this is the only place we want to stay. Thanks, Linda!!

    I love these 'attaboys' but I do try hard to match the glowing hospitality of my home town. Afterall, this is your vacation. As for N.O., she greets all with open arms. Thank you for coming.

  • We had a great time here. The location is perfect: steps from everything in the French Quarter, but still quiet and private. The condo itself had everything we needed and was very comfortable for the three of us. The tourist information in the condo was really helpful and definitely enhanced our experience. We'll definitely be back!

    Thank you so much for the nice writeup on my condo.

  • Location, location, location. I am very familiar with the French Quarter (I have a tenant-occupied property there) and this is one of the best locations in the entire Quarter. Right across from the Ursulines Convent, and just adjacent to the beautiful Beauregard-Keyes house, which most tourists overlook, this place is convenenient to the very heart of the Quarter and, if you must go there, Bourbon Street which is only two beautiful blocks away. I would never stay in a hotel after staying at Linda's place. It is at the very back of a beautiful property the exterior of which is painted that unique French Quarter red, which inflames the passions the moment you walk through the beautiful gate. The grounds are exquisite and beautifully maintained. You walk up the stairs and back to your private apartment with two bedrooms, and an adorable kitchen of recent vintage. Linda has provided everything you can think of right down to the cheese grater in the kitchen drawer, and some wonderful books if you are feeling contemplative while looking out from your private balcony to the trees at eye level and the garden below. The pool is very nice, with pool toys and all. Both times I went in the water was nice and I was completely and utterly alone. The complex is quite quiet -- unusual for any French Quarter accomodation. And that is what I loved about it most. You are in a well traveled, but quiet area of the Quarter. I very much enjoyed walking into through the gate, quietly closing it behind me and watching as the people in the carriage going by looked at me and wondered who was that lucky gentleman entering that beautiful building. Lastly, Linda makes you feel like a true guest in her home. She checks on her guests to make sure they are comfortable and have arrived safely, lets them know she is available if the need arises or if they have a question, and otherwise leaves the guest to enjoy a fantasy of a few days or a week. Like others, I am loathe to recommend this place for my own selfish reason, but in all honesty, I must. It is a very nice, clean, quiet, well-maintained place with virtually all amenities in a superb location. Great restaurants within steps, interesting lesser-traveled historical buildings next door, great cafes very nearby (Croissant d'Or, Cafe Envie, CC's Coffehouse, and, of course, Cafe du Monde), and a quick hop to the French Market where you can quickly find curios for the folks back home. There. The secret's out: This place is great.

    Wow! What a great write-up. Thank you! I kind of like the condo myself.

  • We have been to New Orleans many times and this was the best trip ever. We will never stay in a hotel again. This condo was in a perfect location. It was away from the crowds but yet it was close enough to everything. The next time we visit this wonderful city I hope this place is available.

  • Four of us stayed at Linda's condo Jan. 20 and 21/09. It truly was a positive experience...close and within walking distance to most everything in the French Quarter. The condo is absolutely charming and nicely appointed. The beds were comfortable and the balcony overlooking the courtyard was outstanding. Thank you Linda for a super stay.

  • We were in New Orleans weekend of Jan 9th. It was a girls weekend get away for birthdays. We spent our 3 nights at Linda’s beautiful Condo. We truly enjoyed ourselves, the condo is wonderful, Linda has many extras there for your comfort. She even picked up flowers and champagne for me which we pre-arranged, so that it was waiting when we arrived since we arrived at about 10 pm. She called to make sure we got in and everything was fine. I will echo what others say that the Condo is close to everything, but far enough away for peace and quiet. We all slept wonderfully. We walked to everything in the French Quarter felt perfectly safe and did not have one problem. It was wonderful to have so much be right within walking distance. We would return her again. Thanks Linda Here are some of the things we did We took the street car out to the Garden District had lunch at Commander's Palace (a great lunch), rode the street car out and back to see the great houses. Takes about 1.5 hours to ride the street car up and back. We did this before our 1:30 reservation. We would recommend the Coffee Pot at 714 Saint Peter Street - we had dinner there after drinks at O’Brians. The place was empty and the food great. We actually ordered 3 different meals and each of us had part of one. Jambalaya, Red Beans and Rice and Shrimp Por Boy. This is a place I would recommend. The prices were great. The service was also great, but there were very few people in the restaurant. We ate at Irene’s our last night. Travel book said they did not take reservations, but they do – I would make them. It was packed and you can not get appetizers as you wait, only drinks. However, the food was great and worth it. We also did custom blending of a perfume at Bourbon French Perfume, 805 Royal St. We had a wonderful time and you can get your custom scent and another scent. You can get these in perfume or in spray. This was a great two hours of girl time. The person working with us was very nice and did not rush us and even let us run out to watch a Zula parade that was going by. I would recommend this as a fun event. Costs about $85.00 but I got 2 sprays 4 oz each for that, plus the time she took blending 5 different fragrances until we found one I liked.

  • I have been waiting a long time to write this comment. We spent our 25Th anniversary and 9 glorious days at his beautiful Condo. It was perfect, and felt like home. Decorated tastefully and immaculately clean. Every amenity possible was provided, and then some. The Condo is close to everything, but far enough away for peace and quiet. The French Quarter is just as wonderful and safe as I have always found it to be on our previous trips. We will never stay anywhere other than Linda and Jim's Condo in the future. Linda and Jim are the nicest people we have met in a long time. They take great pride in the care and up keep of this property. We will return next October to again enjoy New Orleans plus Linda and Jim. Thanks so much for everything. Bless you both. Wish we could have spent more time with you two. And I hope all remains well in the future with you both. Thanks for being the best, Lynette and Charlotte

  • This apartment more than met our expectations. It is located very close to the French Market, Jackson Square and all the fun spots of the French Quarter. The entryway and pool courtyard are very nice, including the neighbors! We were sad to leave. BTW, we saw Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, they live a block away! Food, OMG bring an extra stomach. Linda is so nice and great to deal with. You can't go wrong with this choice, we will be back.
