A Beautiful Jewel Box... This House Is Painted Black !
Come chill in the sitting pool!! This private house has one private bedroom and a living room. There is a nice size kitchen , with a cozy gas fireplace. the living room has a couch but it is not a fold-out. The bedroom opens on to a gorgeous courtyard with a sitting pool. All new renovation , but old world charm remains. It is in a great location .. Within walking distance to the Marigny, Bywater and the French Quarter. There are a variety of bars, restaurants and coffee shops near by. Best of all, the St. Roch Market is just steps away!

We were not impressed with this property. It was dirty! The towels smelled like they had been left out wet. The sheets felt dirty. We had one roll of toilet paper and one roll of napkins for a four day stay. The bathtub was nasty. The tv in the room didn’t work and the WiFi never worked. It also had old style space heater and a fireplace with a pilot that smelt of gas and kept turning out. I would not stay again.
Excellent place to stay. Good day with her, good amenities, good communication. Highly recommended for anyone who knows who wants or is just discovering yet.
We really enjoyed our stay here and we loved being close to Frenchman Street and the French Quarter was a short walk away. We also enjoyed the dive bar across the street. Convenient parking always out front.
Perfect location for a calm and relaxing stay. Our host was available and informative, the home was clean and homey. Felt like living the real NOLA life.
Food, fun and finds nearby. 10/10 stay!
I loved staying here. It was close enough to things i wanted to do and in a quiet neighborhood. My travel plans were a little rough with getting down to New Orleans but Tom was very understanding of it met me at the door to give me the keys for me my stay
We absolutely loved staying here. Tom was great to work with and kept on contact the entire time. If we ever get the opportunity to come to New orleans again we will definitely rent this house again.
This property was perfect for our stay. Located in a neighborhood next to a market, bar and lots of other options. Tom was a great host and we could not have asked for more. Highly recommended.
Almost everything about this cottage is perfect, especially the price. Just note that there is a train line not too far away that may wake a light sleeper when the train whistles.
Managers were very cordial and extremely helpful. House was clean and well kept. Weather did not permit us from using the court yard, this is also clean and well kept. Will do it again.
Adorable old Cottage in an old neighborhood. Felt completely safe walking the streets and a short walk to the French Quarter. Tom and Ann the hosts were wonderful to deal with. The only thing I would mention is that the back patio furniture wasn't clean and couldn't be used but we would definitely stay here again.
We had a great stay. The hosts had beverages and chips waiting for us when we arrived. There were plenty of supplies (soaps, paper products, dishes, etc). The hosts were responsive to our questions and lived right next door. The courtyard in the back was a great spot to unwind. We could walk everywhere we wanted to go. Great spot.
Good, could use more cleaning in kitchen cabinets, counters.
Bed sagged in the middle.
Could not get bedroom TV to work.
Comfortable, spacious, liked the outdoor areas.
Convenient to NOLA attractions, and owner was helpful.
It was the perfect place to relax! It was conveniently located! We absolutely loved the peaceful outside space! Their private courtyard and the plants that surrounded us were amazing. The home was was very clean and cozy! Everything we needed for cooking was provided along with a few snacks and drinks. The hosts were super friendly and made our stay enjoyable! They provided their contact information and responded immediately to any questions we had during our stay. We would definitely stay with them again! Parking was also super easy and convenient! Loved this little home!
House was interesting and convenient to local sights. Its very near the Roch Market, which is like the french market downtown with local vendors of all different types cuisines to try. It was an easy walk to the spotted cat jazz bar ( about 0.5 miles) and around the corner from bus stops. There is a great food store 0.3 miles walk.
The owners were very helpful with any problems we had, and went overboard to help us. Unfortunately the gas fireplace was not working while we were there, which would have made the place even cheerier, since we managed to be in New Orleans for a big freeze. The towels were insanely luxurious. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
It is just as pictured and described! Perfect spot right outside the French Quarter. We had food, coffee, pharmacy, and bars within walking distance. Tom and Ann were very reponsive to our messages. Tom met us outside the house and showed us around. He also worked with our early arrival and later departure. We had beer and root beer and Zapps chips waiting on us. Coffee and tea are provided. Cable TV. Heaters for cold weather. Comfy matress for our fussy backs. We could walk to the French Qtr in 20 minutes. Quieter neighborhood with typical city noises like sirens and garbage pickup. Loved it! Recommend you trying them out!
I'm really just reviewing in rebuttal to some of the reviews on here... first off- no bugs! Second the place was not dirty! Third the owners were not intrusive at all, if i didn't go over and introduce myself.. i would have never seen them and the neighborhood wasn't bad! Close to the busline and cheap lyft or uber to wherever you want to go... pretty much in the center of everything.
The house is old.. classic new orleans style complete with 15 foot ceilings. Stone/ real wood flooring. Fireplace. Kitchen with everything you may need and a really nice deep bathtub.
There was a beautiful little garden area with a little sitting pool that we enjoyed after being out in the blazing heat down there... i agree that the outside furniture was not usable but we didn't need it. That would have been a bonus.
It was cozy and comfortable and felt like home. Thank you to ann and tom for a wonderful vacation! ( i guess some folks are just way more bougie than us)

No parking. Unsafe area. Rude and won't give you your money back if not satisfied. Don't do it!
My worst experience ever in NOLA and I am from here and it was my anniversary. The contact person was rude and obnoxious when we could not find parking for our vehicle. He seemed rushed and annoyed. The house decor was old and not in a good way.. No central air and musty smell. For only a little more, you could stay in a nicer room on Bourbon St. with a balcony. The neighborhood looked seedy and unsafe at night. And again, parking is a nightmare. If you are unhappy with this place, you will not get your money back unless you pay the shady fee for dissatisfaction. Indicating some shadiness right off. Stay any where else! These reviews look fake. My experience was awful. Don't do it!
6/10 Okay

Mixed review
We had a 4 day stay starting last Thursday ending on Monday. Upon arrival we were indeed greeted by the ower who showed us around the house and garden area. When we first walked in we felt it was quaint and pleasant. Once we unpacked and settled in, we began to notice deficiencies. Although the description of the property says renovated, this must have been done many many years ago. The baseboards and wainscotting borders were black with dirt/dust. The taps in both the kitchen and bathrooms were so well worn you could turn them on and off in both directions. The furniture was well past its good for use date. The chairs and couch were very uncomfortable and well well worn out. The doors all had black streaks from many many fingerprints. The bathroom walls had water stains coming down from all walls as well as the shower walls. These items are so easily repaired/remedied and would make the house so so much more comfortable. The neighbourhood was convenient and close to everything one needs/wants. The bar on the corner is very loud on Friday and Saturday nights, but that is to be expected. The hosts were quick to reply to any e-mail we sent and we really didn't see them for the most part. The courtyard was not usable for our stay as it was a bit chilly, which is too bad. We are hopeful that our suggestions are taken as constructive points only. Thank you.
