The property is very lovely. Our host was always communicative and responsive. It is a perfect location for a large group, especially if you are in town for a conference. It is conveniently close to the trolley, making transportation very easy. We would definitely stay here again!
Great option if you are in town for an event at the convention center. Bishop Arts is a fun walkable neighborhood and the street car is two or three stops to the convention center.
Close location to downtown, great Bishop Arts district location with restaurants and shops. House is very clean, and accommodating. Live-in tenant down stairs is friendly but dog barks a lot at strangers. Driveway and parking is very narrow and difficult to navigating in poor weather.
We spent a cozy weekend here in January with friends and it was terrific. My husband is an amateur chef and was surprised at how well equipped the kitchen was. The house is very cute and comfortable inside and was a perfect small group setting. The only caveat is that the house is located in an "up-and-coming" neighborhood on a main street with lots of traffic. You won't want to go out walking in the evenings. Bring earbuds for those who sleep on the street side of the house. Neither of these issues were a problem for our crew because we either stayed inside the whole time or drove to the nearby Bishop Arts District, which was super cute and has great restaurants. Highly recommend!
This house is definitely not "luxury," but it is very comfortable and in a good location for bars/restaurants and to grab a quick ride share or trolley to downtown. Road noise is definitely a concern if you need quiet to sleep. It's a busy road, and there were sirens and car noises all night. Chris was very responsive & helpful, but there were quite a few small issues with home that one wouldn't expect in a luxury space. As many others said in their reviews, we also had an issue getting into home upon arrival, so that lock needs to be addressed. Overall it was a nice space that worked well for our small group of adults.
We had 4 families stay here for National cheer Competition and it was great. Easy access to public transportation, owner was easy to communicate with, the house had everything we needed to enjoy our trip.
This property is absolutely perfect if you have a large group. The home is spacious and clean. It has all the amenities you would need to have an enjoyable stay. Chris the property manager was great. He was very accessible and accommodating. The location is perfect. Although they only allowed for 4 parking spots, there is plenty of parking within the neighborhood. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.
There is a lack of balance between communicating basic rules and behavior expectations, and allowing folks to enjoy themselves.
Noise listening devices.
Rules posted in all rooms.
The lengthy email sent before arrival.
I get that some folks can be an issue… and bad weekend renters. We are not those folks.
If your that concerned that you’ll have bad renters, maybe running a VRBO isn’t the best investment decision.
The house was nice. A tad noisy street. On the edge of good/ bad neighborhood. But overall nice.
The excessive rules ruined it
We had a great time. The owner is responsive, helpful (provided us with recommendations) and accommodating. The outside of the house did not match the inside, but indoors was very nicely decorated, clean and had everything we needed. The house is on quite a busy street and seemed an odd location, but it is within walking distance of Bishop Arts District where we spent a lot of time. Thank you for providing us with the comforts of home for our trip!
We had a wonderful time staying at the Roux. The host was great with communication. The house was very nice and clean. Everything worked out very well. The only thing we were concerned about was the lady staying in the apartment below the house. We had small children with us and they walk very heavily. We were worried they were bothering her. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend to others!
We were in Dallas for a conference, bringing our staff, and The Roux House totally met our needs. It was very clean, beds comfortable, and the photos and descriptions were accurate. We didn't really cook there, but the kitchen is amazingly stocked.
We had a bit of a challenge initially with the door code, but Chris was very responsive and on it. He even took the time to call me at one point to ensure all was well. Should you find yourself in Dallas and need a place with 5 bedrooms, I'd highly recommend The Roux House.
Beautiful House and very clean. Road noise is noticeable and bothered some of the guests. Out of 4 beds one person complained. Near to nice restaurants. Art work in house is super cool. Would recommend.
If you are looking for a beautiful …spacious and convenient home to stay The Roux House is the only way to GEAUX! Every detail anyone would want is all under this roof… beds were comfortable clean sheets clean towels spotless bathrooms and just a stones throw from downtown …thank you for everything and I will be back!!
From the beginning of our reservation it was really smooth the host reached out to me with instructions and a very warm greeting. The house is beautiful in a safe quiet neighborhood in a central location for travel convenience to the airport and popular attractions. Check in and checkout is simple! I highly recommend this location for mature adults and families. The home gives the essence of NOLA old BOLA we loved our stay as the host is gracious and accommodating
This was an all girls (5) to be exact trip. The house was well decorated and huge. The location is convenient for our trip. We had a nice time and the Saints beat the Cowboys.
Thank you Chris for everything.
I would definitely recommend this place for your large or small party.
Myself and several colleagues were in Dallas for a conference. The location of the house was a short distance from the Sheraton Conference Center and restaurants and shops in the Bishop Arts District. We had trouble getting the lock to open when we first arrived at the house, but the owner was extremely responsive and got us in the house as soon as possible. The house was clean, and the pictures in the listing were accurate. We had plenty of room to spread out when we needed to get some work done. There were also times we all needed to work together, and the living room and dining room were great spaces for everyone to come together. Overall, we had a great experience.
A group of coworkers all stayed here for a conference that was at the OMNI. Although we didn't use the public transport, we did get uber's regularly and it was $7-$10 everytime we went somewhere (for a large group). I loved that each of us had our own bed. The beds were super comfortable. Location was great and easy to get to. Restaurant up the street, LaComida was AMAZING - highly recommend. Check in process/communication was super easy! Five stars!
The property was exactly like described and the pictures are very accurate. It is in a great location and within walking distance to many food options. We felt safe, but was on a very busy street, so if you have littles just make sure they don't venture outside. The property consisted of 3 stories which allowed everyone to spread out-which was great with our large group. The beds were very comfortable and everything was very clean! Parking is very limited and if you have more than 4 cars you have to park across the street. Also if you have small children they should stay upstairs because the lady living under the house did not like them playing in the common areas. I would reserve this house again if we didn't have littles in our group, but will probably not book again when we have a group with smaller children.
The house is so spacious. We had 8 in our party for overnights and additional family stopping by at different times to visit and share some meals. The large house made it easy to accomodate all of us. Plenty of bathrooms for a crowd.The decor is beautiful. The house is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The older neighborhood was lovely for walks with a beautiful park just down the road. The host was quick to respond to any questions that I had (I am new at this). Be sure to read about the history of the home and the area. We found it all facinating.The rules were easy to follow, and we really enjoyed our stay.This is NOT a party house, but a beautiful home with so many details to appreciate.
The Roux House is a great place to stay if you are looking for accommodations to host a large group in comfort. The location is perfect, the beds are comfortable, and Christopher was responsive and helpful. Definitely will book again!

About the host
Hosted by Christopher Averite
As the current owner from New Orleans I decided to turn our personal home of over 10 years into an Airbnb and dedicate it to my late dachshunds Beaux and Roux. We could not think of a better tribute to our dearly missed fur-babies and decided to call it "The Roux House". I'm proud of being from New Orleans and truly enjoyed decorating the home with a New Orleans vibe. I've taken pride in ownership of the home over the past 10+ years.
Why they chose this property
Based on the location and the growing tourism in the area we decided to move out and turn our home into an Airbnb. You will not be disappointed with the location of the home and the multitude of local attractions.
What makes this property unique
We were told by a nephew of the original owner that she was a girlfriend of Jack Ruby. As a child he said that he has a photo with himself and Jack Ruby in front of the grand piano in our living room! If you stand in our front yard and look across the street to your left you will see a red roof house which was the home of Lee Harvey Oswald. A brief walk or trolley ride to the desirable Bishop Arts District. You will not be disappointed with the shopping and restaurants available to you.
