Enjoyed the stay! Quaint and warm and fits the NOLA vibe. Close to the river and loved walking to the levy to enjoy a cup a coffee in the morning. Quiet and away from the night life but close to everywhere I wanted to see. Will stay again! Thank you!

Authentic New Orleans feel all around inside and out. Very quiet neighborhood for early mornings and evenings sitting on the porch. Great coffee and kitchen had everything I needed. Great shower with plenty of hot water and I found the bed to be quite comfortable. Will definitely stay again if and when I return to New Orleans!

Price was a nice neat well kept house, you can tell it had some rich history. Unfortunately, I never saw the river.If there was anything negative to say, I would have to say, as a professional Firefighter, a secondary means of the egress would have been nice. Also, the shower was acceptable. However, the water could’ve been a little warmer. Other than those two things I really enjoyed my stay.

Don't freak out with the run-down neighborhood. The apartment is old but very well kept up. It is labeled as "Watching the River Flow" but there is no sight of a river. This was a good rental for the money. Patricia has it very well supplied with everything to make our stay comfortable. The one glitch was a missed message to me telling how to check in, otherwise communication was good.It's about a 20 minute drive to Downtown.

This is a lovely little apartment / duplex in a quiet neighborhood. A nice place when you want to get away from the hustle, bustle and noise of the French Quarter. Although we didn't cook, it looked as if there were plenty of dishes and cookware, in addition to a full size stove, fridge and dishwasher. The bed was comfortable and clean, and the shower had plenty of hot water. We would definitely stay here again when visiting NOLA.The only reason I didn't give this a perfect score was because the listing says "watching the river flow....". You cannot see the river from this property, although it is very close by, within walking distance. Instead, you must go to the end of the block (a couple of houses down), then climb up the levee. Not a big deal, but a 'need to know' if you're there for river views.
