Great place in a Great location. Only suggestion is maybe putting televisions in bedrooms to decompress away from guests.

Very close to FQ, Ideal for people who want to spend time in FQ. Was able to get street parking. The rooms are good size, just the "master bathroom" is very tight. However, the 2nd bathroom is decent size. New appliances and very clean.

Little Gated Gem

We came to NOLA for a family vacation. We avoided the weekend to keep it family friendly. When we arrived, a music festival was right next to the accommodation, giving us a bad first impression. However, we passed through two gates to get to our locked door and felt way safer. We went inside, and were very impressed with the unit. It was exactly as shown on the advertisement. The next day, the festival was over and we were happy to realize that we were in a quiet neighborhood and everyone was quite friendly. It was very convenient to walk to every attraction we wanted to see in the French Quarter. The gas station across the street did have very good fried chicken, but the sandwiches were also tasty and inexpensive. There was room for our family of four and our dog with his crate. Overall, we were very satisfied and would recommend to the adventurous sort who are looking to experience New Orleans.

What a great trip

New Orleans is an amazing and unique city for music and has a culture all of its own. This property was ideally situated to easily walk to Frenchman and Bourbon, and to get around the rest of the city. It is modern and well equipped and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visting NOLA.

Great stay.

Overall the house was perfect for our visit. Near/in the French Quarter. Easy walking/public transportation to all major sights. Minor hiccups of coffee pot not working and LOUD neighbors upstairs which can be heard through the walls in the other apartment were the only issues that we had. Management team immediately helped with an issue and made the stay enjoyable. Would definitely stay again. 4.5/5

Great home for a group of 9

Beautiful, large and clean place in good location to French Quarter. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. Property manager worked with us to drop off luggage a few hours before checkin so we could explore. Stocked with coffee, beer and paper products with an offer to bring more if we needed it. Great experience. Minor recommendations for the property manager: - add a full length mirror or two and at least one hairdryer - spices /salt / pepper was said to be present but was not - shower can take a very long time to heat up

Mardi Gras

Love this house and will look into renting both properties. The location was perfect because we wanted to be close to Congo Square, and Bourban St. Both are walking distance. Also the Gas station/ corner store has the best fried chicken and all the accessories needed for a great vacation to include alcohol! And only across the street! Loved it!!!

Nice house bad location

The house was in pretty good condition. A few water leaks that we had to let the owners know about. House is right outside the French Quarter, but not on a great road. The noise of car racing and cars with loud music kept us up most nights. The gas station across the street didn’t help. Parking is bad and have to fight to find spots open on the street. I probably would not rent again.
