Wedding Weekend

Our family loved gathering here for a friend’s wedding weekend. We were close to all the events in the French Quarter without being in the busy tourist area. We loved sitting on the balcony and walking to restaurants and shops in the area.

New orleans visit

Place was very nice. Beds were comfortable and location was perfect. Close to the St. Patty's day parade. The Hosts were very helpful in giving places to go. And allowed us to store our luggage before actual check in time to allow us to visit Bourbon Street. Condon was real close to the St. Charles street trolley.

Wish we had more time...

This townhouse is in the perfect location if you're spending time in NOLA. The owners were excellent and the property was immaculate. They helped us by providing information about the city and all the quaint shops and restaurants in the area. My wife and I were very impressed with the property. It worked great for our family. The boys had their own room and bathroom upstairs while we enjoyed the main floor. First time visitors to New Orleans, Jules made everything easy. Never knew we'd love this city as much as we did. Can't wait to visit The Big Easy again!

Overall very cute

This place had a lot of character and was very cozy. Parking was simple. The place was very clean. Owner would always respond when we had a question. Only word of advice to future people staying is it isn’t toddler friendly. Apartment is on the 2nd story, and then there is another set of stairs in the unit. Both set of stairs are very steep. The one in the unit doesn’t have a railing and even I had trouble. Also the downstairs bedroom was the only room with a door in the house and the door would not shut which made us have to tip toe and whisper when our toddler was asleep. Overall we loved the place and were very happy with our stay.

Spectacular Stay

Our family of three (our son is a teenager) just stayed at this property while visiting NOLA since leaving in 2012. The location is close to everything - Uptown, FQ and even driving to Metairie. The property was spotless and extremely comfortable. The attention to detail was very noticeable and appreciated. The beds were comfy. The kitchen had everything we needed. The bathrooms were lovely. Yes, the stairs are steep but as long as you are comfortable navigating stairs - it's not a problem. We kept our luggage downstairs (in the living room) and brought up just what we needed to the 2nd floor bedroom, which was huge. No big deal! I highly recommend this property and would definitely stay again. Bonus, Jules was extremely responsive!!!!

Easter Weekend

A great property in a great city. One of the drawbacks was the key situation- you needed them to secure the door shut since there was no traditional door handle. Since there was only one set, we had to make sure to coordinate logistics when we went out separately. The loft was very cute, but my husband hit his head a couple times on the low ceilings. The stairs to the loft were fairly steep with no hand railing. Mostly we just needed to be aware of our surroundings and move deliberately. The property owner, Jules, was so helpful, providing a foodie list, accommodating our arrival and departure times, and always responded quickly. It was a short walk to the WW 2 museum, which we highly recommend. Fatboy Pantry, Birdie’s, and French Truck coffee we’re all very close and super delicious. If you don’t mind stairs, a common NOLA feature, this was a great location and clean place to enjoy the city.

Lucky Find!!

What a find, I can’t believe our luck. Beautifully decorated, authentic, artistic and huge, it made us feel like local residents. Feels fully and truly New Orleans. It’s getting extremely hard to find original historic spaces that haven’t been cut up and made into tiny rooms and this one does not disappoint. Part of an original townhouse from the 1800s, it’s two floors and furnished with taste and very comfortable. Master bedroom and bath upstairs in a very large loft room and second lovely bedroom downstairs with its own bath so it would be great privacy for couples. Original wood floors and very high ceilings. Floor to ceiling windows opened to the very large iron balcony with seating. Original details and good antiques throughout the apartment and not stripped back like one of these “white box “ hotel rooms..Lovely. Plenty of free street parking but also a pay parking lot across the street which we didn’t need to use. There’s an old walking park/ Coliseum Square a block away with historic mansions and we walked (or bike-Blue bike rental at the base of the park) straight up all the way through the Garden District with unbelievable homes all the way up to Commanders Palace. From there we walked over to Magazine Street and then all the way back down to the townhouse with tons of cool shops and restaurants all the way. Numerous places within walking distance, just two doors down there’s a cool restaurant with a large outdoor garden serving glasses of wine and charcuterie. Great bar called Barrel Proof, fantastic local breakfast place called Surrey’s one block up. About two blocks away is an awesome 1800s orphanage that’s been converted to a super chic hotel (Saint-Vincent) with great upscale restaurants and bars. The host and her partner were super knowledgeable and helpful and very quick to respond and even give us an enormous list of places to eat and drink. They even asked what type of evening we wanted and suggested a few itineraries! We couldn’t have found a more lovely space.

Love this place!

This was a quaint place located in the garden district. It was centrally located to everything we wanted to visit and just a short walk from the park and the street car system. Street parking was available however if it was not, there was also a parking lot directly across the street. It was well lit outside and felt very safe!

A great choice

Location is excellent. Very close to the WWII museum (a must see). It's on Magazine, the premier walking, shopping and eating street in NOLA (in my opinion).The neighborhood (Lower Garden District) has beautiful homes and is great for just walking around. It's perfect for two old friends (or two couples). I had the third floor dormer bedroom which was very nice. I could see out the window to a bridge over the river decorated in red and green lights. Jules was very responsive and had great recommendations for eating, drinking and sightseeing.
