NOLA Happiness Haven
This was truly an amazing place to stay. Our first time visiting New Orleans and can't wait to return. Only hope we are fortunate enough to rent this same property again. Our hosts were amazing, the accommodations were perfect in every respect and so close to all we wanted to see and do we could walk or take a short Uber ride. 100% would recommend!

We had a great time at the Happiness House. The AC in the front room went on the frit, and the owners were very quick to get it repaired. They were also very easy to communicate with.

Lovely!
This home is wonderful- beautiful decor, comfortable beds (even the Murphy bed), and a beautiful courtyard that we enjoyed every morning and evening. Easy, quick uber rides anywhere you want to go. I would recommend using Instacart and having your groceries delivered. We would highly recommend this rental in the Treme neighborhood!

What a wonderful place and location.
Really enjoyed the private courtyard right outside my door everyday to begin my day. A short hop into the French Quarter every morning via bicycle with friendly neighbors and kids at play along a lovely shaded route suitable for walking or riding. In fact I did it both ways into "The Quarter" via bicycle and also walking both ways. Nice exercise. All in all a top notch stay and location with A+ Accomodations.

Happiness Haven is a Gem
Comfortable and clean, this property was the perfect spot for our reunion, we had 5 adults here but could have easily fit 1 or two more. 3 full bedrooms 2 bathrooms and plenty of space to stretch out. The patio was a boon and well used while we were there. Loved having the convenience of a washer dryer on site and the ability to make coffee, tea or a full meal. Check the hosts recommendations for local spots. Easy access to French Quarter via foot, bike, bus...only about a mile away. Will definitely come back!!! Many, many stars!!!

Nice Place
My daughter was playing in a major slowpitch tournament, and my parents had never been to New Orleans, so I rented this house for 6 of us. It was the perfect place for us. My husband and I enjoy walking around looking at old architecture, so we loved strolling the neighborhoods around the house. People were extremely friendly. We even got a tour of a newly renovated nightly rental, as well as a grand tour of a church that is being turned into a theater. The owner was wonderful, the outdoor area at the house was very relaxing, and we were very happy. I would highly recommend staying here.

This property was outstanding. It was so comfortable and we felt very safe.
This was the perfect rental for theee friends on a get away. As 3 women traveling alone we felt very safe.....we felt like we were in our own homes. If we had a question about the area....all we had to do was text or call and we immediately had an answer. Each one of us have recommended this property to family....and I don’t know any higher compliment one can give. BRAVO.....GREAT RENTAL.....hope we can come back some time in the future!

I loved this place and didn't want to leave
This has to be my best overall VRBO experience. The location is near the French Quarter, within walking distance or a relaxing bicycle ride away. Accommodations are first rate. What a pleasant surprise to walk into a spotless New Orleans flat with separate entry, large closets (no owner clothes), comfortable king beds, newly remodeled and with new furnishings. It was also spotlessly clean - What a value! I really didn't want to leave. New Orleans is a wonderful gem of a city. Great Jazz, great food and there is always a party. I hope these accommodations are available for me the next time I can visit this beautiful city. I can easily recommend this to others. Thanks Aminata for your help during my stay I love your place!

Do your research on location
I was very happy with the clean, spacious, and pretty apartment. It was very nicely decorated and fit seven woman comfortably. But unfortunately, the location was not in a very safe area. Our very first Uber driver suggested we pack our bags and go to a hotel in a different neighborhood. Every Uber driver after that, mentioned in one way or another, that we were in a very bad neighborhood. They mentioned drug activity and prostitutes, male and female. They also said crime such as robbery and shootings. So, although we had no issues, thank God, If you are nervous about your surroundings, I would book elsewhere. I'm sorry to the owners, who seem like very nice people. They have a beautiful home, but in a bad location.

7 of us to NOLA!
We found the home exactly as advertised. The owners were most helpful and very responsive. Always replying to my questions within the hour - usually within 30 minutes. The home was very comfortable and it was lovely to have some of the basics supplied in the kitchen - spices etc. The washer and dryer were lovely to have and laundry soap was even provided. The outdoor sitting area was a great place for our morning coffee and end of day wind down. So comfortable and fit all 7 of us easily. Location was not close enough to walk to the French Quarter but was only a $10 UBER or a short walk (5 minutes) to the bus - this is what we were searching for. Close but not noisy. We went for walks in the neighborhood and felt safe. Parking was right outside the gated courtyard. While not off the street we did not worry about our rental Van at all, we felt very secure leaving it there. If I was ever to return to NOLA I would not hesitate to stay here again and highly recommend the place.

Great place!
My husband and I stayed here with our friends. (1 other couple). It was a great place. There are 2 bathrooms and the way the bedroom/bathrooms are set up, privacy was no issue. We were initially planning on 3 couples going, which would have made the bathroom situation a little trickier. The courtyard is wonderful, but we didn’t use it because of the cold front that had moved in. We always got an Uber to take us downtown. Ubers are plentiful here and cost on average $10 to get to the French Quarter or Canal Street and is a 5-7 minute ride. Very safe little place to stay and has everything you need to enjoy your stay in NOLA. We didn’t cook while we were there, but enjoyed coffee every morning, which was provided. There was also bathroom amenities such as bottled soap and shampoo, which was appreciated. Very clean! Would definitely recommend!!!!

This house was even better in person than pictures. Aminata and Ben were amazing people. We hired Ben to perform for my husband's 50th birthday and he was not only an amazing performer he is a beautiful soul. The outdoor patio area was awesome to stay cool and relax in. It is very safe and parking was never an issue. Next time we go back we plan to rent the upstairs and downstairs units with a bigger group. And intend to hire Ben again for another incredible patio concert.

NOLA Vacation
This property is exactly as described. It is very close to French Quarters and a short distance from the airport. The beds were comfortable and everything you need in the kitchen and bathrooms. The owner Mr. Hunter came to perform for us one evening and had great knowledge of the history of NOLA. His wife Aminata did such a wonderful job with the place. It was so inviting and relaxing. We will definitely be back! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Happy Gem just outside the French Quarter
This place was a GEM! Perfect location outside the craziness but near enough to enjoy when we wanted. The house was awesome, warmly decorated, plenty of space and the courtyard was the bomb. Our hosts were super accommodating on check in and check out and it was great that past guests left things in the fridge they couldn’t take back like condiments and alcohol so we appreciated it and returned the favor. I’ll definitely be back!

The name “Happiness Haven” says it all!
Stayed with 4 friends for a girls trip. Everything was amazing. Super clean, easy access, great communication, stocked cabinets, comfy beds, and the courtyard was perfect for relaxing in the morning or evening. We loved it all! Location was great…close enough to the French Quarter to ride the bus or take a short Uber (we did both). Highly recommend!! 😊
