Great place, great location

Had a great time. Steven gave us all of the info we needed up front, and he even let us leave our luggage for a few hours before our flights, which gave us more time to enjoy the city rather than sitting in the airport.

New Orleans

Steve provided a beautiful home with all of the needed amenities. Communication was always quick and helpful. We will definitely stay there again. walking distance to Frenchman's Street and the Rusty Rainbow! Plenty of local delicious restaurants to walk to as well.

Perfect: Safe, clean and thoughtfully designed

We spent Dec 26 thru Jan 1 at this property. Myself, my husband and our 2 college-age kids. The layout provided private accommodations for all of us as well as space to gather and hang out. Everything we needed was provided. We've visited NOLA dozens of times in the last 30 years and this was the best property we've encountered.

Perfect stay for Mardi Gras

This rental was absolutely perfect for our Mardi Gras trip! The location couldn’t be better—right in the heart of the action, making it easy to walk to local parades, restaurants, and all the excitement. The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and well-stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.Yes, it can be lively at night, but that’s to be expected during Mardi Gras, and we didn’t mind at all—it added to the experience! There was also a homeless woman sleeping nearby, which may concern some visitors, but it didn’t affect our stay in any way. If you’re looking for a true Mardi Gras experience with all the comforts of home, this is the perfect spot. Highly recommend, and we would definitely stay again!

About the host

Host profile image
I am an architect, born in Glendale, California. I came to New Orleans to attend Tulane University and graduated with degrees in Architecture and Historic Preservation, and developed a profound appreciation for this town's rich history and cool old buildings. I fell in love with this city and made it my home.

I want you to get the most out of your visit to New Orleans, and I will provide a relaxing, comfortable, and convenient experience.
