Truly a wonderful experience!

My sisters, mother, and I truly loved our stay at this unique, authentic, and well-loved space. Ron was a gracious and very informative host who gave us such wonderful suggestions of places to go in New Orleans. Truly a real "living like a local" experience.

Amazing stay

We loved our time in NOLA, and a big portion of that was due to our stay. Ron and Mark's home was perfect. Comfy bed, very clean, stocked kitchen, great back yard, prime location and truly gracious hosts. It's clear that they have have put a lot of hard work and love into their home. We loved getting to know them and were grateful for the conversations we had and the history we learned from them.

Historically grand time!

If you're into staying in a real New Orleans neighborhood, close to everything that's necessary, this place is for you! We loved the historic building and its furnishings, and the welcome from our hosts. The Hot Tub is a big plus, after a big day of walking and Second Lining, dancing and exploring New Orleans. Special thanks to Mark and Ron for the TLC, like walking me to the grocery store upon my arrival when I was VERY hungry for Gumbo and VERY tired from traveling. Great hospitality!

A lovely old home in the heart of New Orleans

The home is an old shotgun house, lovingly maintained and beautifully decorated. It’s a short walk to a large grocery store and drug store. A 15 minute walk to the French quarter and some great jazz clubs on Frenchman Street. The hot tub wonderful addition. We really enjoyed our stay.

What a Joy to stay here!!

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful home for three nights while visiting New Orleans and it truly did not disappoint!! From our first interaction with Ron upon arrival until we left with hugs and beautiful beaded necklaces, we had a fantastic stay. The unique home is so eclectically decorated, there is always something new to discover. The mattress is very soft and comfortable with extremely plush linens. Yes, I had to use the small steps to get into the bed (I’m 5’2”) but it was like sleeping on a cloud! The bathroom is small but had everything we needed. The kitchen was well appointed and we loved the hot tub! And the location was perfect for walking the streets of New Orleans. We walked everywhere we went except for the one day it rained. We quickly realized our 3 days in NOLA weren’t enough so we will be coming back…and we will definitely make plans to stay with Ron and Mark again!!

We had a fabulous stay at Ron’s! He was a wonderful host. Gave us a tour and history of the home, and recommendations for the best spots to try (and where to avoid!). The location was perfect to walk downtown, to get to Frenchmen St, Bourbon St, or Royal St. I would 100% stay here again!

Can’t Beat The Hosts!

Wonderful hospitality! Gave us great tips and information starting out. Was able to call and ask questions and we’re always very swift in responding back. A snow storm hit and they were kind enough to let us stay free one extra day due to the circumstances. Need I say more? If you want to know you are taken care of and will have a great trip book here!

Best Experience Ever!!!

Ron was extremely hospitable, kind and helpful. We were greeted upon arrival and given valuable insight and resources to make the most of our visit. Very cozy and cool place to stay. The hosts truly do think of everything to make their guests comfortable and it was so greatly appreciated. The time Ron took to walk us through any questions was something that I have never gained from a host. Location is absolutely perfect! Would 100% recommend.

Staying in History

What an awesome place to stay. Upon checking in Ron met with us and gave us a tour of the property and gave us the history of the home. It’s pretty cool getting to stay in a home that is over 200 years old. The home is kept very clean. It was the perfect place to stay for our anniversary. We walked just about everywhere we went so staying here puts you close by everything. When we come back to New Orleans we will check availability here first. Thanks for being amazing host.

Perfect space to enjoy the Marigny!

We loved staying at this VRBO! The house is in a convenient location and they provide excellent recommendations for places to eat or things to do. For folks going in winter, the small heaters they have in each room work great for keeping the space warm, and the window ACs were excellent on the one warm day we had. It’s a beautiful space and the back yard and hot tub are a perfect oasis to feel immersed in the city and feel private and protected. The kitchen has all the things you need for preparing a meal, although you likely won’t need to. The tea varieties on offer and easy hot water were extra lovely for us. Truly a great way to experience regular local life and walkable destinations.

Fantastic

We enjoyed our stay in the unique and historic home. It was very comfortable. We liked the ability to cook some of our meals and sit outside.The owners, Ron and Mark, went above and beyond in their hospitality. Ron met us and provided us with information not only about the house but the history of the neighborhood. He had recommendations on where to eat and suggestions on places to visit.The location is within easy walking distance of the French Quarter and Frenchmen Street. We listened to music every night on Frenchmen. There is a nice grocery store within three or four blocks and the bus line is close.There was coffee and tea provided along with a few staples like olive oil, salt and pepper.The ONLY caution we might have is that the bed is high. There are steps provided but if one has a mobility issue this might be a problem. With that being said, the bed was VERY comfortable. We had no problem getting in and out and we are in our sixties.We stayed for five nights. We highly recommend this property and can not say enough good things about it or the proprietors.
