Nice house with good sleeping capacity (we had 7) in safe neighborhood but still close to everything. We made good use of tbe well equipped kitchen, Tesla charger, and Keurig! Nice place and we will definitely consider staying here again if back in the area.
The home was lovely and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. It would be great for families, though we went as a group of friends and it was still just as nice! If you want to be a short drive to the hustle and bustle, but far enough away to get good sleep this is a great option!

Thanks a ton for the kind review! We’re thrilled you loved the place and found the neighborhood chill and laid-back—that mix of quiet comfort and easy access to everything is just what we aim for our guests.
It’s also awesome to hear it worked well for a group of friends too, as much as it does for families. Really appreciate you picking us and would love to have you back anytime!
We loved and enjoyed everything about the property. No complaints. If I just had to say something that needed attention I would say the back yard furniture. My family enjoys gathering in the back yard; we made it work with no regrets.
Well stocked home, great location. Neighborhood feels safe. Lots of safety cameras around the property for added security. Excellent host. Very accommodating.
Thank you for staying with us from March 2–March 4. We truly appreciate you choosing our place for your trip and hope you had a comfortable and relaxing stay.
You were a pleasure to host, and we’d gladly welcome you back anytime. If there’s anything we can improve or anything you particularly enjoyed, we’d love to hear your feedback.
Safe travels, and we hope to host you again in the future!
We rented as a place to sleep before our carnival cruise. Slept 7 and cooked pizza we got at Walmart for dinner. Meet our needs very well. Host response was very quick.
This house sits in a nice neighborhood, beautiful home! We stayed for 4 days and had no problems with anything. If you're in the area this is the house for you! Steven is extremely friendly and accommodating.
I do not have any complaints about this property. Very quiet neighborhood and the home is lovely. We have a family member that gets chilly when she gets out of the shower. She was happy to know the bathroom ceiling exhaust also blew heat! The property was exactly as listed. The host, Steven, was readily available and always followed up. I hope the home is available for our next visit. Thank you, Steven, for a wonderful stay!
Really nice, cozy home that matched the exact description of the photos shared on the site. Very minor concerns that were easy to be overlooked and resolved before the next booking. Only minutes away from Bourbon street and out of the way of heavy traffic. We loved the extended bar in the kitchen. The owners were very pleasant and responded swiftly. We will definitely stay here again our next visit to New Orleans.
Was in town for my dad’s funeral service. Stayed with my daughter and 3 yr old granddaughter and 7 yr old grandson. Everything was as expected during a rough time. Brought the Babies to the battlefield.
My family and I are from Austin Texas and we enjoyed our stay in this spacious house! Rooms and bathrooms were clean and everything that could go smoothly went smoothly. Thanks for a great stay!

My goal is to provide a clean, comfortable, and well-equipped home where guests can relax and enjoy everything the New Orleans area has to offer. As a VRBO Premier Host, I take pride in responsive communication, an easy check-in process, and making every stay as enjoyable and stress-free as possible. Whether you’re visiting for a vacation, a cruise, a sporting event, or a family gathering, I hope you’ll feel right at home.
Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds. It’s a quiet, residential community where you can unwind after a busy day, yet it’s only about 20 minutes from the French Quarter, Bourbon Street, Frenchmen Street, Caesars Superdome, Smoothie King Center, and the Port of New Orleans. Guests enjoy being close to all the excitement while avoiding downtown traffic, expensive parking, and late-night noise.
What makes this property unique
We wanted to create the kind of place we’d want to stay ourselves. A comfortable home with plenty of space to gather, free parking, complimentary Level 2 EV charging, fast Wi-Fi, a fully equipped kitchen, and a peaceful backyard to unwind after exploring New Orleans. Our location gives guests easy access to the French Quarter, Caesars Superdome, Smoothie King Center, and the Port of New Orleans, while avoiding the traffic, parking fees, and noise of staying downtown.
