The house was well equipped and clean The neighborhood was exactly what we wanted and having a grocery across the street was perfect. Great backyard for entertaining . A few more updates in the hall bath would add even more to this beautiful historic home . We loved the vibe of this home

Great Location
We really enjoyed the front porch and the neighborhood. The two bikes provided were an added bonus to explore Audubon Park nearby.
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.
This was our second time staying at this property. The place was clean. Stephen was very responsive and friendly. I look forward to staying there again.
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!
In town for a graduation - love the ability to begin our mornings with a walk to and around Audubon Park. Backyard is lovely for having drinks in the evening and of course the front porch is so inviting. We have stayed at this location before and will return.
Wonderful week-long stay for our family of four adults. Quiet neighborhood. Easy walking distance to much of what we like to do in NOLA. Responsive owner -- even when something quite unexpected happened on the day before a major holiday. And, if you like details only found in older homes, you'll love this property. Thanks again!
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.
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.
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.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy
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.
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.
This is a great place. Very convenient for us visiting friends and family and would stay again. Good layout, good kitchen, lots of space for everyone. Only complaints are that the split-system heater in the primary bedroom was very noisy, and the mattresses are sort of B- quality. But the linens were good, pillows fine too. Very nice to have the keurig pods for a quick cup.
It was great for a family trip. Close enough to walk to the trolley, grocery store across the street was very convenient, the CD player was a fun experience for kids to pick out CDs, and it had the New Orleans vibe. Would recommend.
The house was very clean, comfortable, great location. We had a small hiccup with the AC system, couldn’t figure out how to change the temperature, but our host responded right away to our voicemail and problem solved. Would highly recommend this beautiful home!
Had a lovely time there. House was ideal. Very nice amenities and very clean. Setting was perfect. And location good. Yard and lawn needed maintenance but other than that was perfect! Loved having grocery store across the street!
