If you love the charm of a home that was built in the 1800's with modern amenities this is the right one! The host was amazing ! This was a quick anniversary get away for us. It offers all of the privacy you could ask for while being just a block from St. Charles. Will definitely be back

Classic New Orleans house. Clean and full of personality. Very comfortable. Excellent location! Just remember, folks: this house is more than 100 years old so it’s not like modern homes. (The shower takes a few extra minutes to get hot. The doors are creaky.) But for those who love NOLA, that’s part of the appeal.I would definitely stay here again.

Gorgeous historic home great location

Fantastic older home, huge living space that is of the period. Loved the house. I read other reviews criticizing the house because of its age. It’s an old historic house, it’s what gives it its uniqueness, charm and lends to the experience. We loved our time there. Completely walkable location and I highly recommend!!

Nice place but in need of repair, owner super responsive

The house was nice, classic. It was in need of repair. The paint was chipping everywhere. It felt a bit like a ruin. The beds were okay except one, which was so compressed on one side, it created a constant struggle not to roll off. When we ran one of the upstairs tubs, water dripped down (rapidly) through the floor and into the front hall. So effectively only one functional shower. The location was okay, in a bit of a mixed neighborhood but well located in terms of proximity to sites and services. There was construction on the lot next door into the evening, which was very loud. The owner handled it quickly.

Nice space with an old New Orleans feel

Check-in was a breeze. The property’s three spacious bedrooms provided great accommodations for my husband and I, our daughter and son-in-law, and their two boys, ages 3 and 7 months. The home has been lovingly restored, but still shows a few signs of former age-related damage (water spots, some peeling paint). These little flaws did not interfere with our enjoyment of the property! The beds were comfortable; bathrooms were modernized but with a vintage vibe; water pressure good; air conditioning was more than adequate for daytime temperatures in the upper 80s while we were there (early October). There is an off-street parking spot that we didn’t use because it is for a compact car, but we never had a problem parking right in front of the house. The ONLY negative was that the hot water is EXTREMELY hot. Parents should monitor bath and shower water temperatures for children. Also, the pipes make it take a little while and several adjustments to get the water temperature set to a comfortable temperature. We appreciated the baked goods and other goodies provided—very nice touch. We will definitely keep this property in mind for future visits.

So much potential

This house was pleasent but in need of repair. The interior decorating was fitting to New Orleans but the seating wasn't very comfortabel as it was old and without much stuffing. The bedrooms were well appointed and the beds were comfy. The en suite shower was barely big enough to fit me as a small woman so I imagine it would be uncomfortable if you were larger or taller. The listing discusses a hot tub but it was not working and we were provided with a portable one for our stay. Based on older comments it seems the hot tub has not been working for years. There was a driveway but you would need to rent a compact car to be able to use it easily. As a mother on vacation with her two daughters I found the neighborhood concerning. While there are plenty of renovated homes with very expensive cars in their driveways there are also many homeless individuals that you need to navigate to get to St Charles Street and the neighboring property is a hostel. We were only approached one time outside the house by a woman looking for food and the property does come with a security system which gave me some piece of mind. The owners were response and very gracious.

I would highly recommend this place if you want to get a real feel for what it’s like to live in New Orleans. We felt like locals, not tourists. The place felt clean and safe. We even weathered a tornado during our stay. We hid out in the downstairs bathroom and felt so safe. Thank you!

Place needs some attention

I’m going to try and stay as positive as I can be, however I will be honest with this review. This house needs attention BADLY. The first thing you notice as soon as you walk in the door is the dampness smell. You can just tell that there is a bad leak somewhere and the whole house smelled this way. The paint is chipping and pealing off of nearly every wall in the house…again moisture. The furniture is outdated and not in the best of shape. If I’m being honest it looks like most everything was bought at a flea market or auction as cheaply as possible. Sorry but that’s the truth. I will say the house was clean. There was no trash or anything like that. As it typically does in NOLA it rained on the 2nd day we were there and noticed water coming down the wall by the kitchen sink. After further inspection I noticed that the roof was covered in tarps. Really???? I had read other reviews about the property and possible water issues but chose to ignore them. Apparently so has the property owner. This is an issue that has been there for awhile and has not been addressed. I will say that the property was in a good location for our stay. Close by to the trolley and less than 15 min drive to just about every restaurant you could want. This is a very neat old house that is in some bad bad need of repairs. I hope the property owner addresses these sooner than later.

Hot tub disaster

Only one request was made to the owner prior to our arrival, that the hot tub be working and set to 96 for our use upon arrival. We were shocked and disappointed to find it only half filled with water, filthy, and with no heat on. The house was clean and cooled properly, but furnishings were awkward and the house generally had the appearance of being furnished from yard sales. No basic bathroom toiletries like soap and shampoo were provided.
