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!

This was an absolute wonderful stay. The host was very attentive and checked in on us via messages several times. We gave a little tour of the house and the connected shared garden. As well as plenty of suggestions of things to do around town. He really went above and beyond.The neighborhood was nice and surprisingly quite for an urban area. The location was great. It was close to the St Roch Market which had several amazing food vendors.Definitely worth checking out.

Tom was so welcoming and kind! I loved staying here. He was super responsive to messages before and during the trip. We came for Mardi Gras weekend and it was great having a place that was walking distance from everything we wanted to do. Street parking was free and readily available. The courtyard was absolutely stunning in such a great way to start our morning. The pool was also adorable and a great way to relax after walking all day. As far as cooking utensils go, the kitchen was super well stocked. We really didn’t need for anything. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking to visit the French Quarter.

The host was welcoming. A lot to figure out about the house - gas fireplace for heat and radiators. Not for people used to central heat/ac. 2 person max for occupancy-we were warned the couch was not comfortable and they are correct.No coffeeMate or little creamers for coffee. We did appreciate the cold waters.

Great Spot for Walking into the Quarter

We enjoyed our stay here and easily walked to and from the French Quarter during our stay! The AC is two window units that are probably nearing the end of their lives but this wasn't a big deal. The pool is awesome and great for relaxing after your day out exploring. Hosts are awesome and answered any and all questions we had!

Located in a rich cultural part of the city. Everything in walking distance. Our stay was cozy and loved the patio and boutique pool to relax. Great communication from owner Tom and very accommodating and facilitated our late arrival. Local beers and chips were so welcoming.

Lookout for skateboard size cockroaches!

Place was indeed on the cute side. However the entire place needs a TON OF TLC. Holes in wall, holes in window, giant sized bugs I think I found 7 of these creatures. Placed was full of dust. Owner states that there’s a cleaning service well all I can say is that they need ladders and glasses as witnessed by my pics. Shower head needs to be replaced, wall cabinets look like they are going to fall off the wall. Air conditioner in the bedroom needs to be replaced, also the sitting pool was very murky there was no way I was going to get in there. The faucets in bathroom sink need replacing, I could continue but believe me if we return to New Orleans it would NOT BE HERE.

Great location beautiful garden area. Didn’t realize it was a shared common area but we got lucky and nobody else was there. Host was great would be nice to have another bed side table and area for computer for people that need to set up for work. Maybe some updates close to all you want to do. Would return

It wasn't quite what we expected.

Overall our stay was fine.. however it doesn't say in the listing that this is a guest house, nor does it say that th courtyard is shared by 4 properties. The sitting pool wasn't available for use either. The overall cleanliness of the house could use some work.. it was surface clean but there was a thick layer of dust on all the windows, the fan and the AC units were caked on it. Could be why the AC was so incredibly loud in the bedroom that we had to buy ear plugs. We did kill one huge cockroach in the kitchen, but didn't spot anymore outside. However you could see them crawling in th courtyard Overall if you're not looking for fancy or privacy, it'll work.. we still enjoyed our time in Nola and the host was very pleasant at least.

Misrepresented in VRBO listing

This stay was not up to par in terms of cleanliness. While I dont expect a VRBO rental to be hotel level clean, there are expectations which should always be met. Bathtub was dirty, pulled up the sheets on the bed and the mattress cover was covered in hair and what appeared to be rat droppings. Celing fan cocered in dust, had i turned it on dust would have flown everywhere. .. pillows were stained like they had never been washed before. . Microwave was dirty and had a sticky residue on the outside. We were not able to stay here due to the subpar level of cleanlinesa and had to find another option at the last minute in the area. . Host did not offer to fix issue or provide a refund. Dont atay here!
