Great House
The house was excellent. Very clean and updated. The actual street is not great, but you're just a block or two from the charm of uptown. We would certainly stay here again, especially with two families so everyone has their own space.

Uptown Beautiful Home
Fantastic place to stay! We were a group of 4 couples in town for a family wedding. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom, which in NOLA is impossible to find. The house has been beautifully remodeled and furnished. The restaurants on Magazine Street are only 5 blocks away in one direction and the St. Charles trolley is 1 block over in the opposite direction! We will definitely stay here again!

Great Family Stay - Close to Garden District!
Location was great. We could walk to the Garden District, Commander's Palace, Fresh Market, etc. Had a great time and would stay here again! We rented the whole house - upstairs unit and downstairs and had plenty of room. Host was very easy to work with and returned messages quickly. Lovely time!

Home again
After 20 years of living in New Orleans, our family returned to celebrate a birthday with the people and places we love. I renovated several Uptown houses (nine units) while I lived here, and I’m happy to say that the work done on this building was some of the best I’ve seen in New Orleans.
Classic feel to the property , but freshly renovated. My favorite location uptown, near where I first lived, and by my annual MG parade ground spot. The owner was extremely available and responsive to the little issues that popped up during our stay. New Orleans has a lot of flavors, and this is my favorite.

Great location
The house was great and Sam was very quick to respond with everything. It is as advertised and a beautiful house. Plenty of room for my group of 8. I was a little confused when I first got there about how to get into the upstairs area, but Sam was so quick to help and steer me in the right direction. Thank you again!! The location is perfect. Just a block away from the St Charles streetcar. We used this a lot to get around the city and it was perfect. I would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful house and great location!
The renovations made to this historic home were thoughtfully implemented, and the accommodations for guests are excellent. There is plenty of parking space with 2 driveways that are gated from the street, and we were within walking distance to St. Charles Ave and local bars and restaurants.
Our host, Sam, was extremely helpful and answered emails within minutes. I was lucky enough to meet him in person when I returned to the home to retrieve an item I had left behind. This was a great experience!

Perfect Location for Parade Season
This house is perfect for a group of couples or a friend's trip if you are wanting to travel to NOLA any time soon. Its a prime location with ample parking.
The house itself has character and is a modern gem in a historic part of town. All of the living spaces are modern and up to date, and the amenities are more than enough to get your day started and finished.
Walking to Magazine street was easy, and you don't have to leave the neighborhood for nightlife and entertainment. The house is 2 minute walk to the St. Charles Parade route, if you're in town for the Mardi Gras season. Great times, good food, and a lot of fun.
