Had never been to that area, so there was a little unknown apprehension. It was unbelievable experience. The house was located in a historic quiet neighborhood. The house was comfortable and neat. If you are expectinga 5 star hotel accommodations don't stay here, if you are looking for somethingthat feels like home, this is the place. There was a small coffee shop and diner. Two bars (we did not make it there), and a great little taco shop. Access to the ferry was a few blocks and it ran on schedule. It drops you near the French Quarter. Uber from train station to house was inexpensive (25) and convenient. Finding car rental can be a challenge even with a reservation.Bruce communicated quickly with our questions. We will be back!!

Lovely antiques. Had to figure out how to climb high enough to remove batteries from chirping smoke detector. For two females, one aged 70, this was not so easy and it would have been nice if the owner had come to take care of it. Broken faucet handle in bathroom. Too many notes around the house about do this/Don’t do that.

I'm glad you enjoyed my home. I was going to come over to fix the smoke alarm, but you said you fixed it. I was disappointed that you severely burnt food in the oven. It would have been nice to properly use something to catch the food that over flowed. It took the cleaner over an hour to clean.

About the host

Hosted by Bruce Blew

Host profile image
Hello! My name is Bruce. Welcome to New Orleans. I am a retired Chemical Engineer, who presently owns & operates The Junque Shop Antique Store in the Faugborg Marigny, at the base of world famous Frenchmen Street. I personally renovated my home in 2005-2006.

Why they chose this property

This is a Raised 'Shotgun' Double built in 1929, completely renovated in 2005-2006. It is located in historic Algiers Point, the second oldest settlement in New Orleans. It was built by a lumber yard owner. The walls are 6 inches thick & reinforced diagonally. The 2006 renovation opened the home to one living area upstairs.

What makes this property unique

My home is an economical alternative to the French Quarter, and yet is just a four block walk or drive to the Algiers/Canal Street Car/Passenger Ferry. Historic Algiers Point is a quiet alternative to the fast French Quarter pace, and yet close enough to enjoy the full benefits of the French Quarter and all of New Orleans.
