Cute house. Decor was a bit eclectic, but very functional. Two nice office spaces so both my wife and I were able to take phone calls for work. Main bathroom was good with excellent shower. Second bathroom was EXTREMELY small. Convenient location in good, quiet neighborhood. with a short walk to street car or easy Uber into town.

This was our second stay at this location, our first through Vrbo. We mostly utilized the Nelson House as overflow housing while the rest of my family stayed down the street at my childhood home. We just slept and showered there, and for that purpose, it worked perfectly. Nick and Brianna are always responsive if needed and as always, I love that you can walk to the Carrollton/St. Charles street car line, bus stop, Walgreens and Robért’s Market. Riccobono’s Cafe is a quick hop, skip and a jump too!

A lovely stay at the Nelson House

My family had a lovely stay in New Orleans at the Nelson house. The home is beautiful, spacious and clean and has the character and charm the city is famous for. We enjoyed a number of meals that we cooked at the house when we weren’t eating out. The neighborhood was quiet and pretty.

Awesome other than doorknobs

The house is a beautiful, eclectic mix of modern and refurbished! It was clean, pest-free and had everything we needed. The door to the master bedroom didn’t have a door knob, only a dead bolt style lock that we didn’t have the key to so privacy was an issue. Also, my daughter got stuck in the bedroom to the left because that door knob didn’t function properly. Thankfully, after 8 tense minutes, we got the knob to engage the striker but she didn’t shut her door completely after that leaving her, 17, with little privacy. Overall, it was just what we wanted: a house with character just on the outskirts of the hustle and bustle of the city!

Great family experience

My husband and I booked this stay for a 3 night staycation in New Orleans. We’re from the Baton Rouge area and wanted a nice close summer vacation and we were not disappointed! The neighborhood was so cute and all the surrounding neighbors were so nice. We felt safe. We made friends with the store clerk around the corner at the Super Serve, Mike, who has owned the store for over 20 years. Our two children, 2 and 4 years old, and my mother tagged along for this vacation and there was so much room in the house for everyone. We rode the bus and the streetcar to the zoo and to the aquarium while we were in town. My husband and I also got a chance to sneak away for a quick date night by riding the streetcar down to Thai Mint. There were so many good restaurants close by and the house was just so cozy. Everything was perfect. We enjoyed our experience! Highly recommended!

Great location

This was a perfect house for our family (2 Adults, 2 kids). Away from the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter but close to everything. Nice quiet safe neighborhood! The house had plenty of room for us to spread out and the off street parking was a nice perk so you didn’t have to search for parking. It’s a tight squeeze to pull in and out of the driveway but it’s NOLA and that’s to be expected! Air conditioner was amazing and kept the house very cool in the LA heat. Hosts were very responsive and made check in and check out a breeze. The beds were a little noisy and creaked when you moved in your sleep and the mattresses should probably be upgraded but no other complaints at all. Highly recommend. We did not cook at all while we were here but the kitchen seemed fully stocked!
