Calvin was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely responsive to any questions I had. The rental was impeccable and very well appointed. It was really nice to have a outside balcony to sit out on. The apartment is in a extremely desirable neighborhood and walkable to lots of restaurants and shops. It is also walkable to the Hop On/Hop Off bus. I would rent this apartment again if I get back to NOLA. Thanks Calvin
We loved-- I mean really LOVED-- the VRBO. Perfect for two couples-- nice bedrooms and clean bathrooms. The location has access to a number of close restaurants and bars. The St. Charles tram is a short walk away -- providing quick access to downtown. Calvin was a fantastic host-- highly recommend.
Historic place in great location and wonderful host
We're digital nomads, and this was our first time spending more than a weekend in New Orleans. This apartment was perfect for our needs - spacious, clean, and comfortable, with good wifi, multiple workspaces, and off-street parking. As a bonus, it's in a building designed by noted architect Henry Howard, with 12ft ceilings and a wide balcony - tons of authentic New Orleans character!
We appreciated the charming decor, comfortable bed, and well-appointed kitchen and bathrooms. We loved the location in the Lower Garden District, amidst historic homes on tree-lined residential streets, and an easy walk to numerous restaurants and shops on Magazine St. We were just 5 blocks from the St. Charles streetcar and 1 mile from The Fresh Market. The host, Calvin, was very responsive and accommodating - one of the most helpful hosts we've ever had. Five stars all around!
My husband and I loved our stay in this bright, spacious apartment with its cool vibe conveniently located in the lower Garden District. It was very clean, well appointed, and had all the bells and whistles we were looking for to enjoy an exciting weekend in New Orleans. Easy walking distance to restaurants, cafes, and shopping (mostly vintage clothing stores but some other cool boutique shops as well). The owner was very friendly and easy to communicate with, and we had zero issues or questions during our stay. Thank you, Calvin!
We were so sad to leave this place. It was perfect for us 4. So comfortable, clean and a great/easy location to get into the French Quarter. The host was also fantastic! We will be planning on going back in the next year or so this was the best NYE!
The apartment was the perfect place for two friends to stay while exploring New Orleans. The space was beautiful, open, and very comfortable. The floor to ceiling windows let in so much light during the day and the balcony was the perfect spot to have a glass of wine in the evening. We loved being near restaurants and shops on Magazine Street and the St. Charles streetcar was a short walk through the neighborhood. Calvin was easy to work with and a fantastic host. We look forward to coming back to stay in the future!
Property is spacious, clean and in a great location. Short walk to many places to eat and shop as well as the trolley line. Host was fantastic. Really enjoyed relaxing on the balcony after our various activities.
We loved this property in the Garden District! It was the perfect home base for our long weekend exploring New Orleans. Calvin is an excellent host and super fast to respond to any questions. We would stay here again next time we come to town.
Great place to relax between short trips in all directions enjoying variety of daytime and nighttime dining and exploring. First time to the WWII Museum and it was a significant experience. Enjoyed a comfortable view of the staging and startup of the St. Patrick's "week?" parade from the balcony. All good from our point of view!
This home is a beautiful old home. It was great to sit on the balcony every morning having coffee and reading. Calvin was a fantastic host, he was very accommodating and had several suggestions for us. We fell in love with the city and hope to be back.
We are very glad we rented this VRBO from Calvin. He is an excellent and responsive host. We did not need to contact him during our actual time in the apartment because everything was as described in the listing and in very good working order.
The apartment was in a great location and an easy walk to the streetcar which took us to the edge of the French Quarter for just $1.25 per person. The off street parking Calvin was able to arrange for us was a significant value add to staying here. There are plenty of restaurants and shops within a short walk.
The apartment was very clean and had all the amenities we desired. The kitchen was well stocked for our needs, beds and pillows were super comfortable and the living room provided lots of seating where we could relax after a long day in town. We also enjoyed the outside terrace where we could watch the world go by. We even saw a wedding parade/procession on the street below!
This is one of the best VRBO's we have stayed in and would absolutely return as well as recommend it to family and friends.
This rental was perfect for two couples. We loved the historic charm with the modern convinces. Sitting out on the balcony for morning coffee and watching the traffic go by or reading a good book was the perfect way to start the day. In the evening we would sit out there and talk about our days adventures.
The kitchen had everything we needed and was very clean. The beds were comfortable and the closets were set up nicely for those staying short term. There was even a laundry basket in the closet, something I had never seen before but came in very handy to store our dirty clothes before washing them in the provided washer and dryer.
The location was wonderful, we were steps away from the bus stop (1.25 per rider) and an easy walk to the St. Charles trolly. There are plenty of places to eat within walking distance. We were there for New Year’s Eve and could see the fireworks going off from down town and a couple of other places as well.
I really cannot think of anything negative to say about this property. We would diffently stay there again.
I have used the VRBO service in Paris, Rome, and Tuscany,. Calvin by far has been the most pleasant, professional, and
clear communicator I have ever dealt with. The apartment in the Lower Garden Distric overlooking Magazine street was beautiful, sooo well stocked and in a great location. I recommend this location to anyone looking to stay in the New Irleans area.
This property was within walking distance of some great local restaurants and shops. The accommodations looked and felt like New Orleans culture. Calvin was an excellent host and was very responsive the couple of times I needed to contact him.
Loved our stay at this property. We were in New Orleans during a brutal heat wave and the first thing I want to mention is how well the air conditioning works! Every time we walked in the door, we all let out a collective "ahhh". This property was perfect for two couples, well-located on Magazine with restaurants nearby, just a few blocks from the streetcar on St Charles and right on the edge of the Garden District. A couple of times, at night, there was loud traffic noise on Magazine, but frankly, that's just New Orleans.
This place was exactly as pictured. It was spacious and perfect for 4 adults. The location was great. There were several restaurants within walking distance and it was just a short car drive to the French Quarter. It was a quiet neighborhood. The balcony was great to people watch! The owner, Calvin was great with communication!
Like new property with all amenities in the heart of Magazine street area! Comfortable beds pillows and all. Owner super responsive and has made his VRBO an enjoyable stay!
Perfect accommodations for 2 couples visiting New Orleans
We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay on a week-long vacation to New Orleans. The house is beautifully restored with huge windows and a balcony overlooking Magazine Street. The 2 master bedrooms, living room, and kitchen/dining area are the perfect size for 2 couples. We were a quick Uber ride to the French Quarter, but had so many great restaurants/bars/shops within walking distance that we felt more like a local than a tourist. A few tips: If this is your first time to the Garden District, I highly recommend Free Walking Tours By Foot. It provides a great introduction to the neighborhood. If you're interested in working out during your stay, there's a great gym (Franco's on Magazine Street) that offers reasonable day/week passes and is only 1 block away.
great location, charming accommodations - just perfect!
My husband and I met up here with two friends. Our stay couldn't have been better!
The shared space was perfect. Comfortable. Beautiful. Very clean. The wood floors felt great on bare feet!
When we weren't out exploring the city, we lounged inside and out on the fabulous balcony. Enjoying conversation, cocktails, books, and people-watching...
The location on Magazine street couldn't be beat. So close to so many different kinds of activities, restaurants, shopping, parks, etc.
Our host was very helpful and responsive, and made access to the property super easy. Again, a really great experience! We would definitely stay here again!
