Very pleasant experience

Tim is very nice and responsive. The place could use some cleaning and upgrades, but it was an overall pleasant experience.

Very convenient

We were close enough to the French quarter to easily walk everywhere yet far enough to get a comfy and quiet sleep! Plus grocery store around the corner! Awesome stay!

Beautiful and quirky

This home was the best part of our stay in New Orleans! It was comfortable and cute, and the neighbor hood and shops were our favorites. We loved sitting in the courtyard and relaxing. Roch market was our favorite, and the salty pearl was our favorite dining experience! We got oysters and the seafood gumbo and both were phenomenal. The bloody Mary from the bar next to the oyster place was the best I've ever had. We also loved viewing the art at the spiritual center across the street. Beautiful, amazing, and inspirational!

Black house

Cute little cottage close to great food at St. Roche Market & City Market. Close to blue bike station. Bus stop (1.25 blocks) & Streetcar (4 blocks) are close. Place needs a deep cleaning, but general areas are clean & linens were clean & it was fine for me. Would stay here again. ay here again.

Quaint but in need of attention

Home was as described, however it needed some cleaning and could use some upgrades. Owners were pleasant to deal with. Located in a bit of a rough looking neighborhood. Bar across the street means loud at night and train tracks near by mean noise in the morning! Bed was comfortable, but noise level meant not much sleep.

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.

Comfy New Orleans style home

This was my second time staying at this property. It is clean, comfortable and well equipped. This is not your sterile bland new hotel style home. There is a beautiful courtyard full of tropical plants and 2 fountains. I came to escape winter in iowa, and brought my bike to get some exercise. The owners kindly let me keep it in a little shed. The house is an easy walk to spotted cat jazz bar, a great food market and right next door to Roch market,, with many dining options. Tom immediately helps out if something is missing or doesn’t work. Last time my husband was with me. This time I stayed by myself and felt perfectly comfortable walking around the neighborhood

Charming cottage

Almost everything about this cottage is perfect, especially the price. Just note that there is a train line not too far away that may wake a light sleeper when the train whistles.

Had a great time!

Adorable old Cottage in an old neighborhood. Felt completely safe walking the streets and a short walk to the French Quarter. Tom and Ann the hosts were wonderful to deal with. The only thing I would mention is that the back patio furniture wasn't clean and couldn't be used but we would definitely stay here again.

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!
