This place is exactly advertised from the photo’s and description AND even better in person! My friends and I enjoyed our stay, the host and even neighbor was friendly and helpful when we had questions. Location is closed to the fun areas as well. Highly recommended to others and will be booking again.

Great overall stay, Neighborhood was predominantly quiet and the neighbors were very nice as well. Parking is a little tight if you have multiple vehicles. Overall the experience was great and very accommodating. Many beds to sleep a big family comfortably.

Elysian Fields VRBO

Exterior of building was typical for area. Secure but unflattering. Entry into house revealed a shotgun arrangement, which was very appropriate for our party. Straight through living, dining , kitchen then the four en-suite bedrooms. All were in tip top working order, and worked well for us. Restaurants and even a grocery were within short walking distances. While you could walk to the French Quarter, that would take a bit longer in the NOLA humidity which we chose not to do. Parking in the Quarter was available and easy to get into for the time we were there. Overall we enjoyed staying at this property and thoroughly enjoyed are visit to NOLA.

Perfect layout for multiple couples

We had 3 couples and a grandmother in our group and the layout of this house was absolutely perfect. Everything was just as pictured and clean.The location is a pretty nice walk from the quarter so we ended up Uber’ing but it was not inconvenient to do so.There is also a Walgreens in a short walking distance which was convenient!Beds were very comfortable; however, the couches were not… but more than likely you aren’t going to NOLA to sit on a couch! That obviously wouldn’t prevent us from staying there again.The large table was also great for our group to all sit at and play cards!

Such a gorgeous place!

We had a amazing time at this house! The owners couldn’t have been more accommodating and responsive. The house itself had everything we could need — comfy beds, ample hot water for showers, plenty of space — indoors & out, coffee, washer/dryer, you name it! We LOVED it!

Good for groups

Great house in walking distance to the French Quarter. There is a decent grocery store a few blocks away (near the Street car stop) That had everything we needed . The home had a good and easy to use security system. The neighborhood feels a little transitional but is safe. We walked to the store and otherwise took Ubers to the French Quarter and Garden District. The management team was easy to work with and very responsive. For example there was no hairdryer so they had a team member purchase a new one and drop it off a few hours after we checked in. This was a girls weekend trip so the very best thing about the house is that each bedroom has it’s own bathroom! The beds were comfortable and the house was spotless. My only recommendations are to upgrade the cookware and purchase more comfortable seating for the living and dinning rooms. Everything is modern and in great condition, just not the most comfortable for hanging out and visiting. I highly recommend this property and would happily rent again.

Fantastic Spot for a New Orleans Get Away

This place was amazing! The listing description is spot on. Our hosts were excellent leading up to our stay all the way through after leaving to head home. All amenities were above and beyond what we expected! We will use this place for future visits if it’s available. A special Thanks to our hosts for being so gracious!!

Great place!

The house was exactly as advertised! The beds were comfortable, bathrooms clean. Every bedroom has its own bathroom. Will and Nichole were excellent. Initially there were not enough glass wine glasses for our group, so we asked Will and that afternoon they arrived. The coffee pods were well stocked. Great location and can walk, or stumble home from Frenchman Street!

Perfect accommodations and location!

First, the hosts (Will & Nichole) are the BEST! I have stayed at many short term rentals & they made the entire process easy & enjoyable. The house is in a great location - walking distance to Frenchmen, Jackson Square, Bourbon St. The home was well decorated and furnished with comfy beds that fit our group of 7 perfectly. It was so nice to have 4.5 bathrooms....especially for a girls trip! Will & Nicole went above & beyond by bringing over some drinks for the bday girl that was turning 40! Having nice accommodations was important to me for my sister's bday and this VRBO exceeded my expectations. Thank you Will & Nichole for EVERYTHING! I will definitely stay here again and recommend it to everyone I know that is visiting NOLA!

Fun times in the 7th Ward

Wonderful home, great high ceilings, recently renovated, and incredibly accommodating for a crowd. The location was perfect for us - 15 minute walk to French Quarter but even less to Frenchman Street and Adolpho's restaurant and the Spotted Cat lounge. Highly recommend this home and we will be staying there again on our next visit to New Orleans. Thanks!

Good basecamp for a fun weekend

So I had a pretty good stay for a bachelor party here. The area looked a little hood, but the neighborhood was super friendly. All of the neighbors would chat us up as we walked by hoping we were musicians whom had just moved in. The poboy place down the street was really good and one of the recommendations of restaurants from Ben (N7) was my favorite restaurants I tried in this trip. This place was an easy walk from Frenchman Street which was amazing for finding good music. The whole place was still being worked on a little when we got there, so some of the finishes weren't quite done like trim or painting but nothing essential was an issue. I heard from the neighbors that we were the first people to stay here, so I have no doubt all of this will be finished by the time the next visitor books a stay. I did feel like the place was well set up for this type of trip. Beds in the right places. Lots of available bathrooms. Plenty of space for a large group of people. I'd stay here again.
