Weekend Away

We had an excellent weekend away. The walk to street cars was a short ten minutes, then we caught the line into the French Quarter each day. The place is clean and perfect for two people. I also loved learning about the history of the duplex ! Be sure to read it whenever you arrive. Overall, a wonderful stay!

Lydia was a great host. She communicated well, and was accommodating. The space was clean, quiet, and the space heater was a big bonus considering a cold front came through the day we arrived. The space isn't made for tall people, but it did what it needed to do for our weekend trip. I would recommend for a couple just needing a private and comfortable space for a few days.

Clean

Space was very clean and exceptionally comfortable. Bedding and linens were top notch. Met the owner. Extremely pleasant. Everything spotless upon arrival. Our only issue was the strong musty smell in the unit.

Safe and clean

The photos made it look brighter but it was clean quiet and safe. Ceilings were low so if you’re taller than 5’10 your head would be hitting the ceiling. Shower was big and spacious. Bed was comfortable.

Nice place for a long weekend

Nice studio for two. The place was clean but did have a basement smell. A candle or plug-in air freshener would work really well. Had to message the owner a couple times and she was very responsive. If you’re taller than 5’10”, you may not want to stay here. Ceilings are pretty low. Overall, good place. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Lydia Cutrer

I'm a New Orleans native and real estate professional. I love to meet new people and explore new places. I enjoy playing tennis and socializing with friends. I look forward to hosting you!

I am on-site and available if you need help during your stay or guidance on things to check out around town.

Why they chose this property

It is an historic, New Orleans home with character and perfect imperfections!

My neighborhood, Milan, (pronounced MY-lin) showcases a wonderful mix of new homes and historic shotguns and cottages. Bounded by St. Charles and Claiborne avenues, many popular restaurants and retail shops are nearby such as Superior Seafood, Superior Grill, New Orleans Hamburger & Seafood/Coffee & Beignets and Martin Wine Cellar. The neighborhood is very attractive and walkable.
