Great location!

This location was very convenient for us with places like St. Roch Market, Honey’s and the Food Co-Op within easy walking distance. The only downside for us was crowd noise from the St. Roch Tavern, which kept us up at night a bit later than we would have preferred.

Comfy New Orleans style home

This was my second time staying at this property. It is clean, comfortable and well equipped. This is not your sterile bland new hotel style home. There is a beautiful courtyard full of tropical plants and 2 fountains. I came to escape winter in iowa, and brought my bike to get some exercise. The owners kindly let me keep it in a little shed. The house is an easy walk to spotted cat jazz bar, a great food market and right next door to Roch market,, with many dining options. Tom immediately helps out if something is missing or doesn’t work. Last time my husband was with me. This time I stayed by myself and felt perfectly comfortable walking around the neighborhood

Quaint but in need of attention

Home was as described, however it needed some cleaning and could use some upgrades. Owners were pleasant to deal with. Located in a bit of a rough looking neighborhood. Bar across the street means loud at night and train tracks near by mean noise in the morning! Bed was comfortable, but noise level meant not much sleep.

Not a great experience

We were not impressed with this property. It was dirty! The towels smelled like they had been left out wet. The sheets felt dirty. We had one roll of toilet paper and one roll of napkins for a four day stay. The bathtub was nasty. The tv in the room didn’t work and the WiFi never worked. It also had old style space heater and a fireplace with a pilot that smelt of gas and kept turning out. I would not stay again.

Cute house but needs love

Tom was great as a host. House needs some love & a good cleaning. It had what we needed and a great location. Parking was easy. We felt safe. But the house is definitely old and smells that way. Could be amazing with some elbow grease and updating.

Black house

Cute little cottage close to great food at St. Roche Market & City Market. Close to blue bike station. Bus stop (1.25 blocks) & Streetcar (4 blocks) are close. Place needs a deep cleaning, but general areas are clean & linens were clean & it was fine for me. Would stay here again. ay here again.

cute but not clean or friendly

As someone who has also hosted vacation rentals, I was a bit off put by my female hostess at this property. There were a few times I was in the pool (which is in the communal back yard) the female host came out and sat on her porch. I said Hi and was ignored. I figured maybe she was deaf, however a neighbor walked past and said hi at the same volume I did and he sure got a response. I tried to say hi to her about 3 other times during my stay. Once I saw her in front of Maries bar, I said hi and got nothing back. I heard from a local that she hates punks, now I wouldn't classify myself as a punk however I am covered in ink with bright hair. Also the cleanliness of this place defiantly needed some work. The rug in the living room was covered with dead termites. There was popcorn under the bed, I don't eat popcorn so it had to have been left from the last guest. And while I totally appreciate the snacks they left behind, I'd of liked it a lot better if they were not all expired food items. I can say, if the female host of this house would have been hospitable, I would have left a stellar review. I would have had my family book it for their trips. Kindness goes the distance and this place

Small black house in interesting neighborhood

House was interesting and convenient to local sights. Its very near the Roch Market, which is like the french market downtown with local vendors of all different types cuisines to try. It was an easy walk to the spotted cat jazz bar ( about 0.5 miles) and around the corner from bus stops. There is a great food store 0.3 miles walk. The owners were very helpful with any problems we had, and went overboard to help us. Unfortunately the gas fireplace was not working while we were there, which would have made the place even cheerier, since we managed to be in New Orleans for a big freeze. The towels were insanely luxurious. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Cute little black house w/rose colored door

It is just as pictured and described! Perfect spot right outside the French Quarter. We had food, coffee, pharmacy, and bars within walking distance. Tom and Ann were very reponsive to our messages. Tom met us outside the house and showed us around. He also worked with our early arrival and later departure. We had beer and root beer and Zapps chips waiting on us. Coffee and tea are provided. Cable TV. Heaters for cold weather. Comfy matress for our fussy backs. We could walk to the French Qtr in 20 minutes. Quieter neighborhood with typical city noises like sirens and garbage pickup. Loved it! Recommend you trying them out!

Lil' house in nawlins

I'm really just reviewing in rebuttal to some of the reviews on here... first off- no bugs! Second the place was not dirty! Third the owners were not intrusive at all, if i didn't go over and introduce myself.. i would have never seen them and the neighborhood wasn't bad! Close to the busline and cheap lyft or uber to wherever you want to go... pretty much in the center of everything. The house is old.. classic new orleans style complete with 15 foot ceilings. Stone/ real wood flooring. Fireplace. Kitchen with everything you may need and a really nice deep bathtub. There was a beautiful little garden area with a little sitting pool that we enjoyed after being out in the blazing heat down there... i agree that the outside furniture was not usable but we didn't need it. That would have been a bonus. It was cozy and comfortable and felt like home. Thank you to ann and tom for a wonderful vacation! ( i guess some folks are just way more bougie than us)

Perfect space for two!

It was the perfect place to relax! It was conveniently located! We absolutely loved the peaceful outside space! Their private courtyard and the plants that surrounded us were amazing. The home was was very clean and cozy! Everything we needed for cooking was provided along with a few snacks and drinks. The hosts were super friendly and made our stay enjoyable! They provided their contact information and responded immediately to any questions we had during our stay. We would definitely stay with them again! Parking was also super easy and convenient! Loved this little home!
