Just Perfect

My husband and I always stay in Algiers whenever we visit New Orleans. This rental was beyond perfect for us. Not only is it convenient to the Ferry and our favorite breakfast and taco spots, but it has all the amenities of home. It was clean and comfortable. There was even a welcome goody basket in the kitchen. Our host was quick to respond to any questions we had. The hidden patio in the back was a perfect coffee spot each morning! We will definitely stay here again on our next visit!

A cozy retreat in a jewel of a neighborhood

The house was lovely and comfortable for my entire family of 5. Algiers Point is perfect for families with the park just outside the house and so many restaurants and cafes within a few blocks. Getting to other spots of interest is easy and doesn't take long at all by car. Josh truly went above and.beyind to make our stay special. We look forward to staying here again

Excellent Location

This was a perfect location for our visit. We weren't there for the nightlife but for cultural experiences and relaxation. The home is charming and comfortable. The neighborhood is perfect. While some gentrification has occured there is still an interesting mix of people who live in the neighborhood. We were surrounded by parks, dog walkers, kids walking to and from school, charming restaurants, and beautiful homes. We took the ferry to and from the French Quarter area every day.

Adorable Shotgun Style house in a clean neighborhood that’s close to everything.

We had a great stay here. The property is well maintained and very clean. The neighborhood is quiet and clean but still close to the ferry and other attractions. The local community is pretty cool. Lots of fun places to eat and shop. My favorite part of the property was the backyard oasis. It is full of greenery and set up so well. This is a great place to stay with a small group or a family.

Hidden Gem

This house in Algiers Point was definitely a hidden gem! The neighborhood was lovely. There were little stores, cafes and bars that you could walk to. The ferry was just a few blocks away. My family and I had a wonderful stay. The house was fully stocked. Whatever you thought you might need was provided by the host. Our host Josh was very accommodating. He was available to answer any questions and offer suggestions. I can’t say enough about how nice the property was. It’s far enough away from the city to have some peace and quiet and close enough to enjoy all the festivities of the city. I highly recommend staying there when you visit the New Orleans area.

Loved this house!

This is a quintessential New Orleans shotgun house that is terrific. Our family of 6 adults stayed here and enjoyed it. While we were there, we got to see a Second Line (a parade for all of us non-New Orleans people) after a wedding and it was so fun to participate! This place is absolutely charming.

Spring Break Trip

The house was located in the historical section of Algiers across the river (short ferry ride) of New Orleans. This was the perfect location for a family. The house was clean and very spacious. It has charm and character, makes you feel right at home. Josh was a great host and made sure we had everything that we needed for our stay. The local pizza restaurant he recommended down the street was awesome as well. Will definitely be back!!

Exceptionally Clean Home in Algiers

The rental was sparkling clean and true to pictures. The beds were very comfortable and the house was well equipped. We appreciated the coffee and basket that welcomed us and the backyard space is beautiful. There were a few hiccups during our stay that we addressed with the owner and he was very quick to respond. The outlets in the back bathroom did not work, but he was going to remedy that immediately. Mostly though, the house was lovely and beautifully decorated. We enjoyed all the different art pieces on the walls. The home also was comfortable, quiet, and in a great location; the neighborhood was pretty and historic. We felt safe and enjoyed taking the easy walk to the ferry for a quick ride to the French Quarter. My only caveat is the area is a bit of a grocery store desert, so pick up supplies beforehand, if you can. There is a little store down the street and another a few blocks away, but selection is limited - we picked up items before coming over on the ferry, especially since it was late day Sunday and those 2 stores were closed. There is a wonderful glass blowing shop and a couple of restaurants nearby. Josh was very easy to work with and I would recommend staying in this rental, especially if you want to experience a different kind of New Orleans adventure.

Charming & comfortable!

This is a wonderful property in quiet Algiers Point! For the third year in a row, this has been our home away from home for a girl’s weekend. Josh has done a fantastic job with this lovely property. Filled with local art, very clean and comfortable and has every convenience one needs. The welcome basket is a great touch! The newly renovated back garden is the perfect place for morning coffee or evening drinks. The area is quiet and friendly with great local restaurants and pub. We also love the daily ferry trips to get into the French Quarter. This property and location is highly recommended! See you next year!

About the host

Hosted by Josh Malfatti

Host profile image
I have lived in New Orleans for 19 years. I really enjoy sharing New Orleans.

In my time here I have lived all around the city, including Bywater, Marigny Triangle, French Quarter, Broadmoor, and Algiers Point. I even lived in a FEMA trailer for a short time (not recommended).

This apartment was built in1898 and renovated in 2014, and has housed generations of New Orleanians in this neighborhood that once consisted of sugar plantations.

Why they chose this property

This renovated apartment is in a double-shotgun home typical of New Orleans neighborhoods built around that time. Algiers Point was founded in 1719 and is the second oldest neighborhood New Orleans, after the French Quarter (1718). We are directly across the Mississippi River from the French Quarter.

"The Point" (as locals refer to it) has several popular coffee shops and restaurants, including Tout de Suite, a hyperlocal coffee and breakfast nook across directly across Veterans Memorial Park about a block from the rental. There is a corner grocery, Faubourg Fresh Market, three houses down as well. Algiers Point has bars and restaurants that both locals and visitors enjoy, and its own live music scene, particularly at the Old Point Bar, which you may recognize from the many movies that have been filmed there. It is also a quiet and serene retreat from the French Quarter, just a 5-minute ferry ride across the River.

See our Guidebook for extensive recommendations on things to see and places to eat and drink in Algiers Point and in New Orleans in general.

The Algiers Point Ferry is an approximately 1/4 mile walk, and drops you at the base of Canal Street, adjacent to the French Quarter, as well as the Central Business District. The ferry stop is also adjacent to the Riverwalk Mall (a large outlet mall along the river) and is a block from Harrah's Casino.

What makes this property unique

Historic neighborhood similar in appearance to the French Quarter (but better preserved). Short ferry ride (5 mins or so) to French Quarter and downtown New Orleans. But quiet at night so you can recover from your revelries and prepare for tomorrow's. :-)
