The inside pictures doesn't do the home justice. I was pleasantly surprised on how big and nice it was. Check in process was easy. Would definitely stay again if we vacation in NOLA.

Good area about a 7min drive to bourbon st. The property could use a little work but still overall a good stay…
We came into town for the final weekend of Xavier’s Homecoming. Over all the neighborhood was quiet, located near multiple restaurants, not too far from downtown, and the house was very nice. You could tell the house was on the older side, but upgrades and renovations had been done, we like the fact that all the old door fixtures were kept. The beds were extremely comfortable and it was nice having a tv in every room along with a nice tv in the main room. We did have an issue with the toilet in the master bathroom not flushing after the first use on the night we arrived, and because it was the weekend a plumber could not come out. I was disappointed in the fact that I had to follow-up with the owner and ask when or if a plumber was coming instead of them following up with us. It would also be helpful if there were labels on the light switches as when we arrived at night I’m sure the neighbors thought something was wrong because we were flicking lights on and off. Overall we had a good stay and would recommend this home and look to stay in the future.
Overall we had a good stay, but there were some significant problems that we experienced. We checked in on Christmas Eve to discover the house was 58 degrees and the bedframe in one of the bedrooms was broken. I messaged the owner via VRBO and he responded right away and also called me. True to his word the property management company came the next day on Christmas to replace the bedframe and they checked the furnace. To be fair it was unseasonably cold in New Orleans those first few days and the houses there are generally not well insulated so I tried to be understanding. The next few days everything was fine with the furnace but then it stopped working entirely and it got very cold in the house again even though it had warmed up some outside. The owners promptly had a HVAC company come out right away and they fixed it. I commend how quickly the owners responded and got the problems fixed. The owners did give us a slight refund for the broken bead frame on the first night (which I do appreciate) but not for the ongoing furnace issues/cold temperatures that we experienced two of the seven days/nights in the home. I did not ask for an additional slight refund due to the furnace issues, but I think it would have been an appropriate gesture on their part given the ongoing cold temperatures we experienced in the house.
Overall the house was spacious and met our needs. The neighborhood, like most neighborhoods in New Orleans, has some good parts and sketchy parts, but I always felt safe in the house (they have a security system there). We saw a few of the neighbors and they were friendly. The house was close (driving wise) to the City Park and the French Quarter. I would overall recommend this property to other renters.
We had a nice experience overall. We traveled to Nola for a family wedding. This property slept 7 people comfortably. It was clean and well equipped. At first we were a little concerned about the neighborhood but quickly realized that it mirrored most of the neighborhoods in Nola. It was very convenient as far as ubering to all the wedding events. We would book again if ever in Nola. Check in and out was easy and convenient. Victoria was very prompt in answering emails too.
Great location. Floor in the kitchen and one bathroom was very unclean upon arrival. Everything else was very clean. Beds definitely need a mattress topper. Overall great place to stay.
My husband, myself and my husband's siblings and spouse (of one) got together to honor their Mother who passed away in December of 2021. It was her dream for all of us to go back to NOLA together. We kept the plans, in honor of her. And staying at a home was perfect for us. We could see NOLA, eat the wonderful food, and come back to the house and all be together. Wonderful experience for us all. We thank Victoria and Gemaule for hosting us, and we would recommend them to everyone looking for a place to share NOLA and be together as a group.
The house is beautiful. It's big and spacious much bigger than expected. The photos don't do it justice. Thete was space to accommodate everyone and then some. The main bathroom tub drain was blocked and never fully drained even after being gone for extended periods of time. There was minimal communication with the host and messages were not answered leading up to our stay. The information booklets provided were detailed, so I guess we didn't need to talk to anyone in person. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed our stay. Convenient location for all of our activities around New Orleans. I would definitely book and stay here again and would recommend to other friends and family. Thank you.
Clean nice and comfortable. The location was was perfect all venues I attended was no more than a mile away. I enjoy my stay and will stay again should I visit New Orleans any time soon. I recommend this property for a family get away.
Great home and Great owners. We had an excellent stay. Off street parking a huge plus. Parts of the neighborhood are a little iffy, but we had no problems at all. Very sweet neighbors.
Overall, this property is nicer than the pictures show. Outside it's a simple looking house but inside it's updated and spacious. The back porch is as big as the front and the neighbors were friendly. A very short walk to the Fairgrounds racetrack.
