Ron was great. We loved the story of his home. The home itself was incredibly comfortable. It is a close walk down to the French Quarter, but far enough to be quiet at night if you’re not into the loud nightlife.

Truly a please to stay here! The hosts are thoughtful, communicative and thorough - you’re in great hands there and the place is very thoughtfully appointedThe place is exactly what you would want and need for a solo trip, a vacation with your loved one or for a small family or couple of friends. Great location, with so so much nearby. It was close enough to everything that if we were out walking around in the French Quarter, we could drop back for a minute to grab something and then head right back out without missing a beat.You’ll be pleased!

The property is excellent. It is thoughtfully laid out, with solid beautiful furnishings and amenities. The hot tub was fantastic. Even jets for feet! Ron is so welcoming and helpful. The location is within walking distance to so much and we always found parking with a block. Also it is quiet and restful - great bed and quiet neighborhood. There is an armoire for hanging clothes and a dresser. Great seating and many areas to store your bags etc as well as a nice eating area. Full size fridge, toaster oven, coffee and tea making abilities, full gas stove and good pots and pans and knives if you’d like to cook. Would be lucky to stay here again’
