Black house

Cute little cottage close to great food at St. Roche Market & City Market. Close to blue bike station. Bus stop (1.25 blocks) & Streetcar (4 blocks) are close. Place needs a deep cleaning, but general areas are clean & linens were clean & it was fine for me. Would stay here again. ay here again.

Quaint but in need of attention

Home was as described, however it needed some cleaning and could use some upgrades. Owners were pleasant to deal with. Located in a bit of a rough looking neighborhood. Bar across the street means loud at night and train tracks near by mean noise in the morning! Bed was comfortable, but noise level meant not much sleep.

Small black house in interesting neighborhood

House was interesting and convenient to local sights. Its very near the Roch Market, which is like the french market downtown with local vendors of all different types cuisines to try. It was an easy walk to the spotted cat jazz bar ( about 0.5 miles) and around the corner from bus stops. There is a great food store 0.3 miles walk. The owners were very helpful with any problems we had, and went overboard to help us. Unfortunately the gas fireplace was not working while we were there, which would have made the place even cheerier, since we managed to be in New Orleans for a big freeze. The towels were insanely luxurious. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

It wasn't quite what we expected.

Overall our stay was fine.. however it doesn't say in the listing that this is a guest house, nor does it say that th courtyard is shared by 4 properties. The sitting pool wasn't available for use either. The overall cleanliness of the house could use some work.. it was surface clean but there was a thick layer of dust on all the windows, the fan and the AC units were caked on it. Could be why the AC was so incredibly loud in the bedroom that we had to buy ear plugs. We did kill one huge cockroach in the kitchen, but didn't spot anymore outside. However you could see them crawling in th courtyard Overall if you're not looking for fancy or privacy, it'll work.. we still enjoyed our time in Nola and the host was very pleasant at least.

2/10 Terrible

No parking. Unsafe area. Rude and won't give you your money back if not satisfied. Don't do it!

My worst experience ever in NOLA and I am from here and it was my anniversary. The contact person was rude and obnoxious when we could not find parking for our vehicle. He seemed rushed and annoyed. The house decor was old and not in a good way.. No central air and musty smell. For only a little more, you could stay in a nicer room on Bourbon St. with a balcony. The neighborhood looked seedy and unsafe at night. And again, parking is a nightmare. If you are unhappy with this place, you will not get your money back unless you pay the shady fee for dissatisfaction. Indicating some shadiness right off. Stay any where else! These reviews look fake. My experience was awful. Don't do it!

Great Spot for Walking into the Quarter

We enjoyed our stay here and easily walked to and from the French Quarter during our stay! The AC is two window units that are probably nearing the end of their lives but this wasn't a big deal. The pool is awesome and great for relaxing after your day out exploring. Hosts are awesome and answered any and all questions we had!

Located in a rich cultural part of the city. Everything in walking distance. Our stay was cozy and loved the patio and boutique pool to relax. Great communication from owner Tom and very accommodating and facilitated our late arrival. Local beers and chips were so welcoming.

Lookout for skateboard size cockroaches!

Place was indeed on the cute side. However the entire place needs a TON OF TLC. Holes in wall, holes in window, giant sized bugs I think I found 7 of these creatures. Placed was full of dust. Owner states that there’s a cleaning service well all I can say is that they need ladders and glasses as witnessed by my pics. Shower head needs to be replaced, wall cabinets look like they are going to fall off the wall. Air conditioner in the bedroom needs to be replaced, also the sitting pool was very murky there was no way I was going to get in there. The faucets in bathroom sink need replacing, I could continue but believe me if we return to New Orleans it would NOT BE HERE.

Great location beautiful garden area. Didn’t realize it was a shared common area but we got lucky and nobody else was there. Host was great would be nice to have another bed side table and area for computer for people that need to set up for work. Maybe some updates close to all you want to do. Would return

Misrepresented in VRBO listing

This stay was not up to par in terms of cleanliness. While I dont expect a VRBO rental to be hotel level clean, there are expectations which should always be met. Bathtub was dirty, pulled up the sheets on the bed and the mattress cover was covered in hair and what appeared to be rat droppings. Celing fan cocered in dust, had i turned it on dust would have flown everywhere. .. pillows were stained like they had never been washed before. . Microwave was dirty and had a sticky residue on the outside. We were not able to stay here due to the subpar level of cleanlinesa and had to find another option at the last minute in the area. . Host did not offer to fix issue or provide a refund. Dont atay here!

Beautiful and quirky

This home was the best part of our stay in New Orleans! It was comfortable and cute, and the neighbor hood and shops were our favorites. We loved sitting in the courtyard and relaxing. Roch market was our favorite, and the salty pearl was our favorite dining experience! We got oysters and the seafood gumbo and both were phenomenal. The bloody Mary from the bar next to the oyster place was the best I've ever had. We also loved viewing the art at the spiritual center across the street. Beautiful, amazing, and inspirational!

Great location!

This location was very convenient for us with places like St. Roch Market, Honey’s and the Food Co-Op within easy walking distance. The only downside for us was crowd noise from the St. Roch Tavern, which kept us up at night a bit later than we would have preferred.

Comfy New Orleans style home

This was my second time staying at this property. It is clean, comfortable and well equipped. This is not your sterile bland new hotel style home. There is a beautiful courtyard full of tropical plants and 2 fountains. I came to escape winter in iowa, and brought my bike to get some exercise. The owners kindly let me keep it in a little shed. The house is an easy walk to spotted cat jazz bar, a great food market and right next door to Roch market,, with many dining options. Tom immediately helps out if something is missing or doesn’t work. Last time my husband was with me. This time I stayed by myself and felt perfectly comfortable walking around the neighborhood
