The entire house was very clean and exactly as described. Perfect for our group of seven…plenty of space and great to have the 4 bathrooms. A bit of a walk to French Quarter, but provided good exercise to offset all the fantastic food and drink! Very thorough communications from Nate, the owner.

A Perfect Fit

Nathan’s property was just the right fit for a group of 10 friends in town for Jazz Fest. There was more than enough room to comfortably hold/sleep 10 and the location put us within walking or short Uber distance of everything we were interested in checking out.

Plenty of space for our group

The property was clean and spacious! The kitchen and bathrooms had everything we needed. Check in and check out procedures were quick and easy. It’s great that we were only asked to take trash out and put dirty towels in the hampers before we leave. It was hot during our stay, so we didn’t get to spend much time outside, but the yard looked lovely.

Superbowl Fun

Absolutely LOVED "THE BIG BLUE HOUSE"!! The owner was wonderful to work with, very quick to respond to questions and so incredibly generous, left us a remarkable WELCOME package of local fair to try which was so very 'welcoming' and kind. The house was in a great location to get everywhere we needed to go. Older home but beautifully updated and decorated. VERY, very clean and neat and I'm very picky. Has everything you need and more. We had 8 adults and it was a great size for our group. We were all very comfortable. And speaking of comfort the beds were fantastic and the large sectional in the living room was wonderful for relaxing. Could not have been more pleased with this property. Would highly recommend!

Great House

Wanted to thank Nathan for an amazing stay. The house is truly what you see in the photos. It was VERY clean. Big and well decorated. The 4 full bathrooms are amazing. We had 6 family members with us and we had plenty of room. We actually cooked much more then we expected on this trip and it was a very well stocked kitchen. Only side note is the 7th ward is an up and coming neighborhood. It is a VERY busy street and if you are a light sleeper you can hear everything outside. Nathan does provide sound machines and that was a big score. Also not a good idea to be out in the neighborhood after dark or to exercise. A few locals told us to not go onto the side streets either. We had no issues here and really enjoyed our stay.

Our stay here was fantastic! We were within walking distance of quite a few different cool spots we wanted to see. The house was impeccably clean and had an abundance of towels for a house of 8 girls. We had issues about the AC and the host was very responsive and immediately had someone out the next day after we brought it up late the night before. They had an easy check in and check out process. Overall we loved our stay and had plenty of space to spread out throughout the house.
