House was cozy yet spacious; nice reprieve when it got too hot outside as the house temperature was always pleasant. Lovely backyard space. Great location for food, sightseeing and drinks. Wonderful neighborhood. Hosts were helpful, welcoming, and quick to respond. All and all a perfect stay. Hope to stay again soon!
Great location, great property, great stay. Only negative is street parking, which can get tricky on a busy Saturday; but wasn’t too bad. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

Thanks Paula for the kind words and for staying with us!
This place was a perfect home base for my family when we were exploring New Orleans. Lovely house, great neighborhood and an easy walk to the Quarter or Frenchman.
We had a great stay at this little house in New Orleans! The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to see and do. The house itself was cute, clean, and full of charm. It had a cozy, welcoming feel, and my family really enjoyed our time there. It was the perfect home base for exploring the city, and we’d definitely stay again!
This was one of the most beautiful houses we’ve stayed in and the location was amazing for our short stay! There were cute local food and shops walking distance to the house, and it was a short drive to all of well known spots we wanted to see on our trip! The host was very friendly and helpful and the food recommendations came in handy. Thank you so much for the beautiful home for my family and pets!

About the host
Hosted by Jonathan Cothern
Two easy going guys who love the laid back neighborhood and like to have a little fun ... and hope that you will too. We're nine years in Nola and feel like locals already. We're architects who work hard, play hard and appreciate the local architecture, music, art and food.
Why they chose this property
IT'S BIG and it's a shotgun. Besides 3 bedrooms, it has a fully stocked kitchen with a dining table and a living room. It sleeps 6 in real beds, plus at least 2 more on the sofa and air mattresses that we provide. (Sometimes both sides of the double are even available.) The bathroom is small, but fully remodeled with a clawfoot tub/shower.
What makes this property unique
Location, Location, Location. FENCED back yard patio for your pups.
