Quiet section of NOLA

Great property, a true NOLA Shotgun home. I was very quiet and comfortable with all the standard comforts. Had a pocket door to close while doing laundry. Great to walk along the Mississippi, very close. Had a chance to watch the local puppet show on the green by the river.

Quaint Getaway

Very clean and quiet stay. Was worried about the reviews of the neighborhood, but the property was perfect for a quiet getaway in a quaint house. We spent most of the time hanging out inside and walking along the levee. When we did venture out to explore the city, it was a quick drive to just about anywhere. Don't let the surrounding area dissuade you from staying at this adorable house!

It is a beautiful old home and a walk away from the river. My only company is the bathroom. Toilet space was tiny and the shower/tub wasn't too great. I would hesitate staying again just because of that.

Beautiful Gem of New Orleans

This property is a beautiful gem tucked away in a quiet neighborhood beside the water. The home was comfortable, and the kitchen was the best-stocked of any VRBO I have stayed at. My husband and I love to cook and have morning coffee, and this kitchen was clean and comfortable, with great appliances and snacks! The owner's hospitality was evident from the moment we arrived. Check-in was a breeze, and we were delighted to find a wealth of local resources laid out for us. The art and graffiti book was a unique touch that we thoroughly enjoyed, and it inspired us to explore the local art scene. The home was close to downtown New Orleans, and a cemetery was a short drive away. We enjoyed morning and evening walks by the river. If I could give more than five stars, I would. I highly recommend it, and if we make our way back to New Orleans, we will stay again.

Great little double shotgun in NOLA

We absolutely loved our stay in New Orleans! I’d never been there before so I wasn’t sure what to expect. We had such a great experience. I was a little skeptical of the neighborhood at first, but after driving around the city I realized most neighborhoods in New Orleans are like this. You’ll have nice houses next to a run down shack, and I’m assuming it’s due to Katrina. I’m sure a lot of spots still need to be rebuilt/or fixed up. My husband fished on the river right on the other side of the flood wall. There’s a nice walking path up there. Very safe, and quiet neighborhood. Best of all was the house. It’s a true New Orleans style shotgun house. Loved the original details! The wood throughout the home was beautiful. The little old fireplaces were so cute. It was perfect for a couple. The owner was super friendly. I’m sure my husband talked her head off. Definitely recommend this house to anyone wanting to stay in a true NOLA style house within a 5 minute drive to the French quarter. We had an amazing stay❤️

Patricia was an extremely kind and accommodating host. She made sure we had everything we needed at the house. The property itself is beautiful and cozy and clean. We encountered no issues at all. The neighborhood was very quaint and quiet. The check in and check out procedures were very simple and quick, as well.As for any negatives, the bridge out of Holy Cross leading into French Quarter was always congested as the only other bridge was closed (this was completely out of Patricia’s control).Thank you Patricia!! If we are ever back in NOLA, we’d love to stay at your property again :)
