Historic architectural attributes remain such as 12 ft high soaring ceilings, ornate millwork, stained glass, antique transom windows, aged hearths, and original solid oak 5 panel doors.

There are 3 wall mounted TVs with Cox cable TV service. Fast and reliable WIFI for streaming and Zoom. There is a comfortable work station armoire in the dining room if you need a desk and good lighting to catch up on work with your laptop.

This faubourg (neighborhood) was the first French settlement in New Orleans. Nearby Cafe Degas is arguably the best French restaurant in New Orleans. On the banks of Bayou St. John, this neighborhood is known for its architecture, live music, lush parks, gorgeous waterways and fabulous cuisine.

This was a great location. We loved the house. Air and heat worked as it should.The hosts had listed restaurants,and grocery stores. It is close to a casino, race track. Close to French Quarter.We were able to walk and tour a cemetery. We wished the back yard would have had a clean table and chairs. My sisters and I really enjoyed our stay.

The home was exactly as described, and incredibly clean.Our host, Andrew, reached out to me early on, and responded quickly whenever I had a question about the home, the neighborhood, or goings-on about town. He really reinforced a feeling of security in my decision to reserve his home.Neighborhood was very pleasant, and lovely to walk around. Many eateries and stores were within walking distance, as well.Our group consisted of five adults. As comfortable as we were staying here, I don't think this home would be suitable for a family with young (under the age of 12) children.We ended our stay feeling that it simply was not long enough. If we do make it back, Andrew's home would definitely be one of the first places we would look to book.

I genuinely enjoyed everything about my stay at this property. From the time we pulled up into the neighborhood, I felt at home. The property was amazing and spacious, very clean and the hosts were very accommodating. 3 of us stayed and each of us had space for ourselves. The kitchen was great- we were able to cook breakfast and enjoy it comfortably that morning before preparing for the festival. Everything about my experience was peaceful. I would absolutely stay here again!

Property is outstanding. Clean, comfortable. Kitchen was large enough that multiple people could work on meal prep at once. High end appliances and the dishes, glassware and utensils are all in excellent conditions. Convenient to have a qasher and dryer on site. The shotgun style of the house is a great experience. Plenty of room so everyone could have space. The neighborhood is great with restaurants in walking distance. City Park was a great walk and has many things to do. The French Quarter is a short drive but consider Lyft or Uber as parking is not plentiful and the parking time limits are not great to deal with. I would recommend this home to anyone for a great stay

Great house, great location, great host. Couldn’t have been happier with this place. Host was very responsive and informative both before and during our stay. Only downside was the back yard wasn’t conducive to kids playing; just rocky.
