Everything was clean and tidy. Nice to have extras like some coffee and a few treats on the table. Property has easy access to anywhere in the New Orleans area. The neighborhood was quiet and really enjoyed the stay. Checking in and out is a breeze and we had no issues during the stay. Beds are comfortable.

This was one of the best vrbos I've stayed in with attention to things like lamps on night tables so you can read in bed, power bars so there are enough places to plug in phones and computers, pots and pans so we could actually cook.

The house was centrally located to shops and restaurants and was completely outfitted. We were able to have coffee the first morning there, before discovering the neighborhood. Every need was anticipated and the place was pristine! I would highly recommend this property! We plan to stay there again when we visit New Orleans.Karen Nuland

New Orleans Stay

Clean property. Great responsive owners. Only downside is road construction that covers the entire area and of course out of the owners control

Great house. Super responsive host. House was clean with plenty of supplies and extra bedding, etc. Construction in the neighborhood was somewhat intrusive, but Wendy was completely open about it in advance. We enjoyed very much and would stay again.

Multiple stays at this property

This home has plenty of room and a great location. Host is always available and very friendly. The home is stocked with just about anything you would need. She even went out of her way to drive a pair of earrings I left behind to my daughter in law. We love staying here when we come to visit our granddaughter.

awesome home!

This is the best VRBO I have ever stayed in! The place was very clean and comfortable, and had every amenity one could want from the basics of soap/shampoo/conditioner to extra papertowel, toilet paper, sun screen to coffee, coffee filters, etc etc. The location is great - walking distance to coffee shops and Tulane-LSU. I would definitely stay here again. Wendy was also readily available and helpful.

Convenient, clean, safe, and easy

This is a very comfortable 3br/2ba with a nice kitchen, dining room, and living room. It is very convenient in the Carrollton area near a bunch of restaurants and Uptown. The hosts/owners are very responsive and nice. They provided breakfast (eggs and biscuits in the fridge) and milk for your coffee and a few other nice, thoughtful touches. 5/5 will stay again.

Granddaughter’s First Birthday

The host Wendy was wonderful and easy to communicate with. Her home has everything you could possibly need. She even had breakfast food already in fridge. The bathrooms were also well stocked. Great location, we walked everywhere and it was close to the street car for downtown travel. Neighborhood was nice, safe and quiet. We have family here and will definitely stay here again.

Great Home, Location and neighborhood.

Thank you Wendy for the opportunity to share your home. We attended our son's Graduate School commencement. The home was clean, comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed some of the local eateries and coffee shops in addition to a quick hop to the Quarter. Thanks again.......

Great Neighy

Great place to stay and great owner. Wendy was very helpful. Streetcar stop was close by. Kitchen was well stocked. Streets are very narrow and bumpy. Can hear trucks rattle through the neighborhood at very early hours.

Thank you, Julie! I'm SO pleased you enjoyed your stay. Yes, most of the streets in New Orleans are narrow and bumpy, being such an old city. We like to think that the city is so charming, we just overlook such imperfections! LOL

Excellent location, beautiful home, spectacular hosts!

Wendy’s and Tom’s (and Violet’s)home is perfect for a family vacation. It easily accommodated our three adult sons and us, and was stocked with everything you could need (even breakfast for the first morning). Walking distance to the street car and cute restaraunts, as well as an easy uber to the French Quarter. Great for running as there is a beautiful park nearby. Wendy and Tom were so helpful and kind, and had excellent recommendations. Don’t miss dba!!! Thanks for a fabulous stay. See you next year.

Beautiful home close to the streetcar

Wendy was the best hostess we could have imagined. She was thoughtful and considerate and provided us with great information about the area! The property is a short walk to the streetcar and provided a beautiful space close enough to be convenient and far enough away to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere in the evening. The beds we're super cozy and the house was well stocked with those thoughtful touches that make any trip just a bit more special! Thank you Wendy and Tom for making our first NOLA trip memorable! We will definitely be back when we return to the city.

Family Vacay

The property was beautifully decorated and felt like home, walking distance to so many local shops and resturants and the Trolly. Neighborhood was beautiful and every single person was so nice! We met some people that live on the street and eveyone was so welcoming! 10/10 Love this house, We loved sitting on the front porch early mornings. If we ever go back (we loved our expierence) we will absolutly stay here again! We were there for Taylor Swift/family vacay, there was even some special treats put outfor my daughter that were Swifty related!!Communication was excellent. Always a quick response and sent us several links to local events and resturants that did not dissapoint!

Great stay in a good location

We chose this property due to its proximity to Tulane/Loyola and could not have chosen better. The house is exactly as pictured and pristinely clean. Our host was very welcoming and made everything easy--even supplying snacks and breakfast items! The neighborhood is residential and quiet, but close enough to grocery stores and restaurants that it was very convenient. And less than a 10 minute drive to Loyola, which was perfect for us. We'll be back!

It was perfect!

The house was so cute and just as described in the listing. The Owner was so helpful when I reached out for questions during our stay. She had snacks and little extras that I had not expected. We had come to town for my cousin’s wedding.it was myself, my mom, my Aunt and my three children, twins 12 and a 14 year old. I would definitely stay there again,
