Super Location

Block from the trolley. Market nearby. Restaurants within walking distance. Good size and amenities for the two of us. Great info for touring NOLA in the unit. Would definitely recommend it for a two person stay. Not a fan of the tall table and chairs, but great otherwise.

Fabulous Stay in New Orleans...

This tiny but brilliant apartment is in a nice quiet neighborhood less than one block from St. Charles Avenue and its historic street cars. It's the perfect location for site seeing around New Orleans. Would stay here again on a return trip.

Great location, cozy apartment

The apartment was great, very clean and unique. The property is secure and we were in walking distance to basically everything we wanted! The streetcar was just a block away, magazine street was is walking distance, they left us lots of recommendations for restaurants and entertainment, it was great! The bed was very comfortable unfortunately my friend found the couch to be less comfortable for sleeping on but it was only for a few nights. I would 100% stay there again next time I'm in NOLA!

Cute, clean and convenient condo! Property owner was very accommodating. After a long morning of traveling, we walked into a fresh pot of coffee. That made us feel very welcomed. This cute one bedroom flat had everything from entertainment to toiletries. We would definitely recommend a stay.

Perfect location, accommodating hosts!

We really enjoyed our stay in the Garden District! It really is the perfect location (in my opinion) if you’re looking to visit New Orleans. Just a short maybe 5 minute drive to Magazine Street, and a maybe 1 minute walk to the St. Charles streetcar stop made it exactly what we wanted. Brandon was extremely accommodating and always had a suggestion ready if you needed any. The place was clean and had everything we needed. The only negative was the bed and pillows. They could stand to be replaced and would’ve made the property a 5/5 or 10/10. Definitely would still recommend to anyone! Great location, great hosts and clean!

This place was just what the site shows it as!! So cute and it a great location , easy to get around without a car but also had a parking spot for a car if you had one. Brandon was a great host , always got back to me right away if I had questions or anything. It was a great stay for me and my husband’s anniversary trip. We would definitely stay here again !!

Great home base for exploring NOLA!

This space was just as listed — a cute apartment style unit with a full kitchen and living room, bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was stocked with some basics (oils, coffee, salt, etc.), plus some extras other users had left behind. The space was clean and comfortable, and located in the beautiful Garden District. Walking distance to so many great sights and restaurants, and truly steps from the streetcar that took us straight downtown. Brandon was very attentive and responsive throughout the stay. Would highly recommend this stay!!

I would stay there again over and over. The apartment was fully equipped. The bed was so comfortable and the jacuzzi tub was a must after walking around all day because the city is very walkable. Brandon was a wonderful host He went above and beyond. You will enjoy your visit staying here.

Central location, clean space

The apartment is as advertised - neat, clean, seemed well appointed though we were only there to sleep. The location was central to what we were in town for and was super close to the street car. The deeded parking spot was convenient. Check in was super easy and we had no issues. The apartment building felt secure but the neighborhood was a little less so (could have been due to the need for grated windows and a somewhat messy courtyard - no trash just overgrowth, dead plants.. the courtyard is a nice feature and maybe was less maintained bc of the time of year and accompanying awful heat and humidity). Overall a positive experience.

Great accommodations and location!

The apartment was perfect for the two of us - everything we needed was there. The neighborhood was lovely and quiet; a reasonable drive from wherever we wanted to go. We also enjoyed taking the streetcar around. The host left helpful information about places to eat and visit. Having a designated parking place was very convenient. I would definitely stay there again.

Very unsafe property - no door code or security cameras and someone broke in!

This was a very difficult experience for us that could have been very dangerous. The property had an ace hardware key (no key code), and no security cameras. We returned to the condo after dinner once night and an intruder was inside. Thankfully we were not harmed, but I will never again stay at a VRBO without appropriate security measures. The hosts were out of the country and were unreachable for about 12 hours. We called and left messages again and again, only to find out that they were not in the country. Very bad experience.

Good Location

Overall: Great for a short stay, we were happy with the property. Pluses: Good quiet location just a block from the streetcar line on St. Charles Avenue. Very clean apartment, well-stocked kitchen with coffee maker and microwave. Restaurants and a great grocery store within easy walking distance. Off-street parking. Binder with good local information provided. Good wifi. Not so great: Small apartment, small TV.

Comfortable, well appointed, quiet, convenient to streetcar

I was happy to find the kitchen had most of the items we needed for making our breakfast and packing snacks or sandwiches for the day. There are numerous items that made the house feel like a home: umbrellas, reusable shopping bags, natural bar soap, books, travel brochures, fresh flowers on the table. These small touches are nice. The place is about a block from the streetcar stop which we used on a daily basis. We also walked to Magazine street for restaurants and shopping in the Garden District. And we got our groceries at the Fresh Market about a block away. It is small but had mostly what we needed. The 3 star rating for the listing is because it is not made evident that the room is on the second floor. So the "balcony" is really just the walkway to access the entrance. The patio is nice but we did not use it, maybe because it is down the steps. Also, the washer/dryer is on site, but not in the room. We did not need it anyways so I can't comment if it was convenient to access.

Lucky to have found this Vrbo!

Brandon is very responsive (dropped off a replacement iron at the front door within 30 minutes of my request!) and not at all intrusive. Check in and out was a breeze. Place is perfect for 2. VERY CLEAN. Quiet location, 1.5 blocks from St Charles Streetcar. Very homey amenities such as lots of couch pillows, several throws, books, puzzles and games, nice sized TV with Roku in living room. Access to free w/d on the property. We will definitely be back!
