Homey and comfortable

This house has lots of lovely little touches to make your stay very comfortable! Loved the cold water waiting in the fridge! We enjoyed our stay, beautiful sunset walks on the levee, lovely watching the traffic on the river, and seeing the community using the space. Nice people, felt safe with a good neighborhood feeling. enjoyed my exchange with Tricia, who was very helpful. thanks for creating a nice respite from the hustle of New Orleans

Patricia was a very good host. She was available whenever we needed her and was quick to answer when we try to get a hold of her. The home was cozy and comfy and will be definitely when we return to when we come back to New Orleans.

Nice quiet spot for a weekend in New Orleans

Great, clean shotgun duplex in lower 9th Ward. Easy access to French Quarter, Mid-City, Treme, etc: either a 10 minute drive or a 12-15 can ride. Patricia is a kind and responsive host. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Stay

This was everything I dreamed of when I envisioned New Orleans. Classic shotgun home with beautiful details, pocket doors, high ceilings, fireplace in rooms. Every amenity was provided, I could have just brought my clothing. We would love to come and stay again.

January Escape

This was the perfect location for us. Quiet neighborhood , away from the traffic and businesses of downtown, yet only 20 minutes away. The house is very New Orleans” and has lots of character. Just a short walk away is the Mississippi River and a nice walk on the levee. We didn’t have to bother Tricia at all because everything we needed or wanted was there. We had a great week exploring the area and left the day before it snowed! We would highly recommend this home whether staying for a couple of nights or a week like we did.

Had a great time… for the price it was spot on… well stocked hygiene essentials for those that don’t have any.. (we did) The refrigerator and stove wasn’t clean so much to my standards… The neighborhood view wasn’t like the brochure deemed… Quiet tho.. overall for the short stay it served its purpose.

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 place to stay

The neighborhood was quiet. We felt safe. The place had all the amenities you could need. Because parking is such a hassle in New Orleans; We were in area where we could order takeout and Uber to Bourbon St. And French Quarter. Parking was provided on the property.

Local Vibes

My stay was quick and easy. Property manager made everything accessible and welcomed open communications if I had any issues or problems. Loved the property because it was tucked away while still being close to everything. I will be using it as a staple in future travels to the area when appropriate. I actually wished I had more down time to enjoy the house more. This is perfect if you are looking for a more homey and laid back feel for the area.
