Had a great time… for the price it was spot on… well stocked hygiene essentials for those that don’t have any.. (we did) The refrigerator and stove wasn’t clean so much to my standards… The neighborhood view wasn’t like the brochure deemed… Quiet tho.. overall for the short stay it served its purpose. Thank you

Beautiful Gem of New Orleans
This property is a beautiful gem tucked away in a quiet neighborhood beside the water. The home was comfortable, and the kitchen was the best-stocked of any VRBO I have stayed at. My husband and I love to cook and have morning coffee, and this kitchen was clean and comfortable, with great appliances and snacks! The owner's hospitality was evident from the moment we arrived. Check-in was a breeze, and we were delighted to find a wealth of local resources laid out for us. The art and graffiti book was a unique touch that we thoroughly enjoyed, and it inspired us to explore the local art scene. The home was close to downtown New Orleans, and a cemetery was a short drive away. We enjoyed morning and evening walks by the river. If I could give more than five stars, I would. I highly recommend it, and if we make our way back to New Orleans, we will stay again.

My stay was quick and easy. Property manager made everything accessible and welcomed open communications if I had any issues or problems. Loved the property because it was tucked away while still being close to everything. I will be using it as a staple in future travels to the area when appropriate. I actually wished I had more down time to enjoy the house more. This is perfect if you are looking for a more homey and laid back feel for the area.

Cozy, charming, and clean!
My boyfriend and I loved this blue little gem. We drove to New Orleans, so getting around was easy for us, but the rental is conveniently located for Uber/lyft! We had a blast. The owner was so sweet and the home was immaculate. She even provided recommendations for eats and a bit of literature on NoLa history. Washer dryer, comfy bed, snacks, I could go on and on.. We will be back :))

The host was gracious and let us check in early due to travel times. The host was quick to respond to all our questions. The house was perfect old style well kept, comfortable relaxing. The house was minutes from the French Quarter, and the convention center. Nice quiet neighborhood in a historic place. Not far from the battle of New Orleans that was fought in the war of 1812. The place was amazing!

We have stayed here before, it is always quiet, relaxing and a great place. We enjoyed several of the local restaurants one of our favorites being Frady's fantastic food. We found a bakery called Bywater Bakery, it has the best Chantilly cake. Great placesvto visit and see the culture, here in bywater.

Close to the Mississippi
We stayed 9 nights, rented a car to get around, and cooked 2 meals a day. We took the ferry at Chalmette and Angiers to get to the French Quarter, museums, etc. This made driving easier. That was what was special about our stay, just how much it was about the river. The house is 100+ years old and charming. It’s in a neighborhood. Very memorable. Host took care of us immediately when we needed something.

We love visiting New Orleans and this is a wonderful home base! Comfortable bed, great shower/tub and everything needed to cook real meals. We did not need it, but there is a full size good quality futon in the front room. Park 10 steps from the door and enjoy quiet neighborhood and walks to the river path. We will definitely return.
