Authentic New Orleans feel all around inside and out. Very quiet neighborhood for early mornings and evenings sitting on the porch. Great coffee and kitchen had everything I needed. Great shower with plenty of hot water and I found the bed to be quite comfortable. Will definitely stay again if and when I return to New Orleans!

Cute duplex next to the Mississippi River. The cat in the adjacent apartment was a pleasant and friendly surprise. Easy walk over the bridge into the great Bywater neighborhood.

Patricia left little notes about different things such as potential freeze weather, letting us know if something is out of order, just little quality of life things. She was so responsive and helpful whenever we had any type of issue. I stayed for the Rockin 1000 event and it was beyond the expression of words, the perfect spot to unwind and relax after long days. Yeah downtown is awesome, but being right next to Bywater is probably the best decision I could’ve made, always 11/10 experiences. Highly highly recommend this place, 10 stars if possible

Disliked: Cleanliness
The living quarters were dirty: dirt was in the corners on the floors, dust on the tables and on night stands. Refrigerator was dirty outside and inside, the stove had black burned staff around the burners. The toilet would not flush properly. The lower lock broke, and I couldn’t get in. There were two inch long cockroaches.

Host was nice, made check in very easy. Can not see the river from the porch. Apartment was very clean and nice. The neighborhood was an interesting experience . Dont really have too much to say about the shops near-by, because quite frankly I wasnt going to stop. Did go to Bourbon street, the food was great.

Patricia was an extremely kind and accommodating host. She made sure we had everything we needed at the house. The property itself is beautiful and cozy and clean. We encountered no issues at all. The neighborhood was very quaint and quiet. The check in and check out procedures were very simple and quick, as well.As for any negatives, the bridge out of Holy Cross leading into French Quarter was always congested as the only other bridge was closed (this was completely out of Patricia’s control).Thank you Patricia!! If we are ever back in NOLA, we’d love to stay at your property again :)

Graduation weekend

Nice place to stay and we hope to go again. The host was accommodating and quick to answer emails. I loved the charm and character of the old house. It had all the necessities and some extras too. Very comfortable bed and futon. Free parking on the street in front of the house was so convenient. We could have done without the mosquitoes (lol-it’s Louisiana!). We walked up the levee to see the Mississippi River.

Quiet section of NOLA

Great property, a true NOLA Shotgun home. I was very quiet and comfortable with all the standard comforts. Had a pocket door to close while doing laundry. Great to walk along the Mississippi, very close. Had a chance to watch the local puppet show on the green by the river.

Nice quiet spot for a weekend in New Orleans

Great, clean shotgun duplex in lower 9th Ward. Easy access to French Quarter, Mid-City, Treme, etc: either a 10 minute drive or a 12-15 can ride. Patricia is a kind and responsive host. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful Stay

This was everything I dreamed of when I envisioned New Orleans. Classic shotgun home with beautiful details, pocket doors, high ceilings, fireplace in rooms. Every amenity was provided, I could have just brought my clothing. We would love to come and stay again.
