We stayed three nights to show some of our friends around our favorite city and celebrate my daughter’s 30th birthday. The house is in a wonderful location, close to the garden district and a short drive or streetcar to the French Quarter. The pictures are very accurate. The rooms are lovely, the beds are very comfortable and the house was very clean. We felt totally safe in the neighborhood and the host, Jason, was the personification of Southern hospitality. We will definitely book again for our stays in the city.
Nice house,comfortable,spacious and good location.Street parking was always available.Jason is very personable,enjoyed the stay very much and perfect for the Mardi Gras route,just a short walk.
Great location for parading, and accessible to many parts of the city, a quiet place to come home to
This is a nice place, as described in the online listing. There are in fact two balconies and lovely patio in the back of the house. There are also what appear to be cameras in the house, which we were not expecting, and made us feel a little weird.It is for sure a bare bones rental. You would need to bring everything (food-wise) with you if you want to cook here. So remember coffee, spices, salt and pepper, etc! Also the bedroom at the front of the house never really gets dark and you will wake with the light, so if you need a dark space (or someone in your party does) that will be a rough sleeping room. There are a few quirks in the house but it is a really nice place overall for sure!
Property we heard is considered a "Shotgun House" It is long and big. We appreciated the large living areas. Beautiful updated property in a very convenient location. We walked to the French Quarter one day. Took the trolley to the French Quarter one day too and honestly walking was faster. We had a couple issues with the lock system ( the batteries were going dead) but John came to the rescue!
This property is very spacious and clean! We had so much room and space. Jason was very flexible and easy to communicate with, super easy check in and out. The neighborhood made us a little nervous at first, but we had no issues and felt totally safe! Would for sure recommend this place .
This is a lovely property situated in a community that is rebuilding and should soon be considered the place close to the places you want to be in NOLA. While there were some minor repairs that were clearly reported before our stay, the plumber came to handle the repairs while we were there. Didn’t know he was coming (didn’t see the text on the app) so I’m happy we didn’t beat him up. (Smile.) The home is lovely, nice sized rooms, great spaces for socializing with family and friends, inviting decks off two bedrooms, nice backyard porch, and beautiful lighting throughout the home. Large fully towels, a great laundry room and a welcoming kitchen with all the appliances you’d need await you.
This will be our home away from home when visiting New Orleans.
Great location Neighborhood is great- Beds seem smaller than queen size.
This was a very good location. Some of the reviews mentioned that the neighborhood was sketchy but I definitely do not agree. Neighbors were super friendly and made us feel welcome. Lots of southern hospitality. We did find that the beds were advertised as queen size but they seemed a little smaller. Two large people cannot fit in the beds comfortably. We solved this by having someone sleep on the couch. Which was fine. Overall this place was great for us.
Horrible area of town, hole in one bedroom door, miscellaneous crap in closets (broken tv, empty charger box, etc), shower curtain rod just hanging on the tile and not long enough shower curtains that were filthy, no check in instructions which resulted in getting VRBO involved, they gave us door code, but alarm went off and VRBO didn’t have code, police were dispatched…nightmare!
Newly remodeled 2 story shotgun home, it is very spacious, it is very clean and had everything we needed. Rouse's grocery is close by. We had a car and parked right at the front door with no issues at all. I would recommend for 3 couples visiting New Orleans. We had a great experience.
This property looks exactly as advertised. I saw a few ify reviews and i’m not sure why because this property was amazing! it’s about a 10min walk to the nearest bus stop that will take you all around the city. The property was extremely clean and the host messaged us back immediately every time we reached out. This house is humongous and is definitely the best VRBO i’ve rented in new orleans. Everything is extremely updated and clean. Such a great stay we will definitely be returning to this property. Thank you!!!
The house was awesome. The beds were very comfortable and bedding soft. We enjoyed the outside spaces as well. We had 6 adults and one toddler, there was even a bonus toddler bed in the Master bedroom! We were very comfortable with lots of room to spread out. We did have TV issues, could only get one to work. Didn't need to contact the property manager, only before the trip to get check in instructions. You will get those the night before or day of arrival, this made me a bit nervous, but everything was fine.
The house was very nice and clean, and very roomy. The neighborhood was a little sketchy, especially at night, with an all female group staying. The house directly across the street appeared to be a drug house, there were people coming and going all hours of the night. The first night we checked in there was a person who visited that house and stayed in front of the house, pacing back and forth for 20-30 mins, staring directly at us and the house (this was at 11:30 PM). We felt unsafe and ended up staying in a hotel for the night. Another morning there was someone sitting out drinking a beer and smoking a blunt. During the day, the area is okay, but definitely be prepared.
This was a lovely house with high ceilings and nice fixtures. We had lots of space to relax. Our non tech-savvy group had some trouble using the tvs, but the stay was very clean with comfortable beds and plenty of clean towels.
We enjoyed our stay on Josephine St. It was a nice sized house for the amount of adult guests we had. As discussed with the owner, I would get the doors fixed for each bedroom as it was an atrocity in trying to open every time the doors closed. I literally had to use my whole body weight to open the door back up and would have been locked in if I didn’t have my significant other able to do so; seems like a fire hazard. We also had problems locking the upper and back balconies as well.
We also had to purchase additional toilet paper, as it was barely 1 roll in each bathroom. There is a trap house across the street, but no fault to the owner and everyone minded their business so no issues there being we were a larger group with 4 men with us.
The house was clean and just like the description. Location was key and would definitely stay again given those few suggestions were addressed. Owner was very responsive prior to our stay. Again, the location was lovely and we were able to enjoy the Mardi Gras parade just a block outside the house!
We enjoyed our stay the house it was very clean. It was bigger than expected. The home looks new and well maintained. The neighborhood looks like it is in transition but we had no problems with our car being parked in front and feeling safe.
Walking around in groups in the neighborhood during the daytime is safe. I I would not walk around at night time, Of course I would not walk around at night time anywhere in New Orleans other than the very busy areas so that’s pretty normal for New Orleans.
We would stay here again.

Nice space, convenient location
It's a very nice space. And it's a quiet area, even though you can walk easily to St. Charles, and a little bit after that, to Magazine Street. Also, the rate was very reasonable.
There are a LOT of little things the owner needs to address. The 2 downstairs TVs don't work. (We discovered at the end of our stay, so there was no time to have the owner address this.) There are no nightstands or lamps in the bedrooms. There was no soap or shampoo. There is almost no silverware, and very few pots or pans. You would have a hard time cooking there. Again, I understand that these are small things. In the bathrooms, there are paper towels instead of tissue paper.
Most importantly, the communication with our host was bad. The rest of the stuff was minor. I liked the house, and if they took care of everything, I would stay there again.
We really enjoyed our stay at this property in New Orleans. The home was is a good location for our needs. I know in other reviews people do comment on the neighbourhood being in transition. I do agree but never once did we feel unsafe and people we bumped into on the streets were all friendly. I would stay here again and I would also recommend to friends and family.
The location of the house was close to everything we wanted to go to. House was spacious and clean upon check in. Street parking but never had an issue not parking in front of the house. Contact was responsive when reached out to.
We enjoyed our stay in New Orleans, but were disappointed in the house. Access directions were not sent to us in advance which is unusual.
The house was not clean and was littered with the owner’s random ‘junk drawer’ type clutter all over the house.
The layout of the house lent itself well to family gatherings. All of the bedrooms were upstairs, which we didn’t know from the description. One bedroom didn’t have a closet - was locked. The dresser in the middle bedroom was too large to allow the door to completely open.
The kitchen is very nice, but missing typical niceties such as wine glasses and kitchen knives. The pantry and several drawers were not useable due to miscellaneous junk in them.
We’ve not rented from VRBO previously, not sure we’ll try again.
