About this property

Private house/2.3 miles to FrenchQuarter/0.4 miles to City Park


Private New Orleans house in mid-city, 2.3 miles away from the French Quarter and 0.4 miles to City Park. The house is beautiful, open, and clean. The front porch is large and has two rocking chairs and a table with four chairs. Smoking is allowed on the front porch. The bedrooms both have queen size beds. The guest rooms have a hallway entrance with a door and a private bathroom in between. The kitchen is large and fully equipped. I have my own efficiency apartment in the back section of the house with a completely separate living space and entrance. Guests have private access to the entire front of the house.

This place was amazing. My family and I all met in Nola to run the CCC. The house is walking distance from city park, which was very convenient for us. The house is clean and decorated very stylishly. It has a huge front porch, large kitchen, two nice bedrooms with closet space, a separate office space, ample towels and plenty of supplies and staples. The host was very friendly and easy work with. We all kept saying that this was probably the best vacation rental we've ever stayed in. A BIG Nola five stars!

Great place to stay!

Cute house with everything you need for a nice stay in New Orleans. Kitchen was very well equipped. Matt even left us bagels, juice & coffee. The house is decorated very nicely and the beds were comfy. We spent a lot of time on the porch with coffee in the mornings and cocktails in the evening. We’d highly recommend staying here

Perfect stay!

We had a late arrival, but the house was well lit on the outside and inside making me feel safe. The house was spotless! There were cold waters in the fridge and more in the cabinet (which was needed with how hot it was outside). The location was great. No issues parking our rental car right in front of the house. Will stay here again if we are ever in NOLA.

Five Star accommodation for these reasons:

Whether you wanted to visit the French Quarter, or enjoy City Park you will be surrounded by excellent restaurants. Super clean, with a well equipped kitchen, dining room and a living room that included an up to date Apple TV. Secure and quiet neighborhood. Our stay at Matt's house was very relaxing. Although Our host was very responsive regarding entering his home and leaving at the end of our stay we had no other contact with him because everything was perfect.

Highly recommend this property

The house is very clean and exceptionally well-stocked with anything you might need (including plenty of coffee and bottled water). We loved the front porch and spent a lot of time there mornings and evenings. Matt responded very quickly to messages before our stay. We had no reason to contact him during the stay as it was all perfect and he graciously respects your privacy. The neighborhood is quiet and feels safe. I highly recommend this property and owner. One note, we did not have a car and from the reviews we thought a couple of things would be very walkable with mentions of a couple of blocks but most things are at least a mile away. That said, ride shares were very easy with less than a 10 minute wait.

Perfect pre-cruise stay to enjoy touring New Orleans

I selected this property because of the price and wonderful reviews. Later, I heard on the news to be cautious of wonderful reviews because scammers were luring victims this way. Scary! I communicated a couple times with Matt and felt much better about the booking. Then we arrived and found that the reviews were genuine and accurate. We were greeted and given a quick tour by Matt's parents, Bruce and Mary. They were lovely to chat with. We could walk to City Park to enjoy Cafe DuMonde which had a very short line vs a very long line in town. We took the trolley from City Park to French Quarter a couple days. Enjoyed the Hop On - Hop Off bus 3 day ticket to sight see and take tours. Upon Matt's recommendation, we ubered to some spots on Frenchman's Street. We really loved the music EVERYWHERE. Even were able to see Matt perform. Also enjoyed some good food. He has some recommendations at the house. The house is really comfortable and very cozy. It looks small from the outside but it is spacious. We brought our own coffee to enjoy on the porch, however there was quite a selection for guests to use. Also plenty of bottled water, bagels, mints and beads :) Parking a king cab truck on the street was no problem at all. The pillows and beds were very comfy. Much better than most VRBOs I've stayed at. The rooms are nice sizes not too small. I am anxious to return to this rental and stay longer and take in a festival etc. Thank you, Matt, for sharing your house with us. You have a real treasure there!

Super clean, perfect for the four of us. This was my first time staying at a VRBO, and it was so positive. I don't know if it is normal to have all the extras but between all the snacks, waters and bathroom supplies we sure felt at home!

Spotless

5 stars all the way! Matt's home was beautiful, charming, and meticulously clean. The beds were very comfortable and every room had been thoughtfully planned for comfort and convenience. Plenty of linen, fully stocked kitchen, and extra touches like bagels and orange juice for breakfast. We were in town for a Saints game and access to major thoroughfares was easy and convenient. The neighborhood was safe with street parking just outside the front door. The front porch was huge and a great place for coffee in the morning and cocktails with friends. Can't say enough about this house, well deserving of 5+ stars!

10000 % review not enuff stars. Check in was simply everything was perfect location.

Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. Perfect location just far away enough from all the craziness bourdan and french quarter offers. Perfect location to get to all the sightseeing. Front porch was our go to for morning coffee and late night sipping cocktails before bed. This is the house to stay in for sure. Not enough stars to give. If we ever are that way again we will go to this house. Thank you Matt for a perfect VRBO

This is a lovely house equipped with everything you need. It was a business trip for me but did get in some play time. So I liked the location. Close enough to enjoy the city but tucked away in a quite neighborhood to get some work done also. The hosts are nice and friendly.
