Wonderful family house fully furnished with all the amenities that you would expect in your own home. Built in 1904 and beautifully restored.

Very convenient area with easy access to uptown (Tulane & Loyola universities), carrollton/riverbend, downtown/warehouse district & the historic garden district and french quarter.

This house offered a great location and New Orleans experience. The living room was comfortable and the kitchen had everything that we needed. The location is very convenient, and the grocery store across the street is a gem.

Great New Orleans house

This property was a lovely place to stay with friends. Spacious, with a great backyard to hang out and have drinks after a long day. Conveniently next to a grocery store and close to many great uptown restaurants. Definitely would stay again.

50th birthday trip

We enjoyed the home, location and amenities. Major bummer, the day after Mari Gras celebration we were awoken at 7:30am by a work crew on the roof tearing awake tiles and throwing them in to a metal dumpster. Went on all morning. Property owner didn’t warn us or acknowledge my inquiry if we should expect the work any other days of our stay.

Location, location, location.

My husband and I stayed here with another couple, all 4 of us retirees. A great place for a reunion with old friends. The weather was lovely, and we enjoyed sitting on the front porch. A few blocks from Audubon Park & the St. Charles trolley; Langenstein's grocery store across the street very convenient. Beds were comfortable, kitchen very nice. A few issues: one toilet was draining slowly when we arrived, & completely stopped up our second day in the house; we notified the owner he sent out a plumber to fix it the next day. He also came by with a couple of others things we needed. Towels, some linens rather old. The outdoor barbeque area needed cleaning and refurbishing; we did not use it.

Great house that needs some attention

Pros: Lovely old house with the uptown feel I know and love. Spacious rooms, lovely living room and delightful porch, a well equipped kitchen. Appreciated that there were some basics, including coffee (no decaf) in the kitchen.The yard is lovely as is the loggia. Our son lives around the corner so he provided a few things lacking. Needs improvement: New coffee maker (we're not Keurig fans and the basic Proctor Silex didn't work). Towels were clean but a bit thread bare. No sheets to be found for the sofa bed. Master shower is lovely but needs a good scrubbing in the corners (otherwise very clean). The garbage disposal didn't work and the dishwasher backed up the day before we were leaving. We were eating out so we dealt with it. Owner was responsive and jumped on the problem after we left. The patio needed to be cleaned up and the grill did not work. There's great potential for that outdoor space which was once quite nice. Get some new towels, pillow protectors, new coffee maker, fix up the outdoor space, water the planters regularly and you have a 5 star property. SO convenient to have Langenstein's across the street.

Location is Great

Wife me and friend stayed for jazz fest. The house is old and has old New Orleans house issues which is part of the charm of staying in New Orleans. Great backyard patio. Beds are not so comfortable. However complain about this regularly in rentals. Large layout. Also as it’s an old house the bedroom doors do not close. I mean they don’t even stay part way shut. So you need to enjoy changing with open doors fyi. Great to have grocery and liquor across the street. Neighborhood is safe and lovely.

Loved the location

We loved the location and the house but we did not love that the same lockbox code gets used with all the guests. We did not feel safe leaving our valuables in the house when we were out. We were fine at night because of all of the extra locks on the doors. We also had to time out our showers due to limited hot water. The owner was very responsive on all communications with us during the stay.

Cleanliness detracted from the stay

This house deserves some love. Seems as if the owner/management co. doesn’t visit and the cleaning crew knows it. Pros: good location walking distance to shopping & restaurants, grocery store across the street, nice front porch with seating, nice dining room with large table, off street parking. Cons: moldy air mattress wadded up on the bedroom closet floor, unwashed/food encrusted utensils in the silverware drawer, used/very dirty dishwashing sponge for the sink, prongs from a broken plug protruding from the outlet next to the kitchen sink, all towels in the 1st bathroom were stained/dirty, insect droppings in a trail along the bathroom window sill, couch is stained & dingy despite removable slipcovers, bed pillows when cases were removed were grossly stained, sheets for pullout couch were covered in dust & paint chips. The house was 60 degrees inside when we arrived - we turned on the heat & went to dinner to allow it to warm up. The back bedroom & bath were in better shape, so if you only need 1 bed & bath and won’t be using the kitchen, you’ll probably feel ok.

Fantastic location

Almost perfect! Great location in a beautiful uptown area that is safe and close to St Charles Ave and Magazine St where transport and restaurants are; well equipped kitchen; big spacious bedrooms and bathrooms; conveniently opposite a local grocery store. Small imperfections include having bedroom doors that cannot close or are difficult to close, not providing enough toilet paper, and being opposite a cemetery. But overall a most pleasant stay.

Great location, needs refurbishment

First, the good: This is a charming, old home with a very New Orleans feel. We enjoyed the chandeliers, moldings, and large rooms. The location can't be beat. We were in town for our daughter's graduation from Tulane and this was so close to campus and local sites. The grocery store across the street was great. Check-in was easy as was parking for our rental car. Ample towels and linens were provided. I wish the sofa bed had been made up (as we communicated that it would be needed before our arrival), but we found the bedding and made the bed ourselves. Needs improvement: The home requires refurbishment and more detailed cleaning. Those who slept in the master bedroom and sofa bed said the mattresses needed to be replaced. The paint is peeling in several places, furniture coverings and bedding have stains, the curtain rod in the front bathroom is rusty, not all furniture is functional, and there are cobwebs in the closets. There wasn't any soap in the bathrooms as we had expected based on the property listing. Luckily, we had brought soap from home. There also wasn't enough toilet paper for our stay. I messaged the owner to ask for more and didn't hear back, so we purchased some from the grocery store across the street.

Property needs a refresh

This is a beautiful old house in a great part of town; however, it is clear that some things have fallen into disrepair and could be improved. The mattresses need to be updated in both bedrooms, the shower curtain in the hall bath was scummy, back porch light was out, dirty window shade in back bedroom, no toaster in kitchen,and backyard patio was in disrepair. It is clear that this property needs a refresh. I had contacted the owner a few months prior about modifying my reservation, and did not hear back until I contacted him again. By that time it was too late. That was frustrating. The grocery across the street was very convenient.

Great location Third time we have stayed there. On arrival unit had not been cleaned from previous renters. Called owner and cleaners came out in about 2 hrs. Overall it is a great space and location but is getting somewhat shabby with furnishings. Back bedroom mattress has no support at all and whole unit poorly cleaned with lots of dust and crumbs. Definitely could be better maintained.

Great place in a great location!

We loved being right across the street from Langenstein's, a great little market where we grabbed breakfast each morning. We wish it was warm enough while we were there to take advantage of the outdoor area! Great location in a sleep neighborhood, but still walking distance to Magazine. Loved the spacious rooms, and the master shower was awesome!
