This property was easy to locate, in a quiet area, and fit all of our needs. It was a small cozy place for us to come to relax after our days in New Orleans. It was close enough to everything for us to leave in the morning, come back to relax and get out of the heat, then go back to NO for dinner. Clean, quiet, comfy!

I had to book this property within less than two weeks of my trip because my other reservation canceled on me by the owner. The booking process was easy. The check in process was a little confusing, but the owner was very quick to answer my call and explain how to get into the unit. The unit was small but sufficient for me and my two kids and our dogs. The unit could use a little more dusting, but I felt overall it was clean. The backyard was really nice although the neighbor dog was sneaking into the yard through a hole in the fence and it made me nervous, so I made sure to walk around with my dogs every time. The neighborhood seems a little unsafe and is right across from my military compound. If I had known this, I probably would’ve picked a different neighborhood since I was traveling alone with my kids.

Best experience I’ve had with a Vrbo host. Michael was a true southern gentleman from the instant I booked his place. Communication, cleanliness, expectation of unit, hospitality - he’s got it all!! Thank you, Michael for an awesome experience for me and especially my son Carter. You helped make this trip extra special!! Highly recommend!!

Never having used one of these services before, I was a little nervous. However, this property was great. Loved having a washer/dryer, came in super handy. Very cute place overall. Only minor inconveniences: some stains on the sheets made us unsure if they had been washed, and there was not an extra Q set in the house, so we washed them. Turns out it was just stains, but I'd probably bleach them or leave them as a backup in the closet & put some new ones on. Also, there's a "New Orleans smell"... I think it's the water (it was always stronger after flushing) but at first we thought it was from someone having an animal in there, maybe on the throw rugs. An automatic air freshener would do the trick, we got some Febreze and it made all the difference. Loved being a few miles from the fairgrounds but still far enough out to NOT be touristy or sketchy. Great diners and easy shopping right down the road, close to Chalmette Battleground Memorial. Would definitely stay again!

This was a nice property. The cottage was cute and comfortable. Close to stores and restaurants. It never took long for Uber to get there and the rates to Downtown were very reasonable, especially compared to parking your own car. Would definitely recommend.

Coming back to this cottage again made our vacation in NOLA so much nicer because we already new the lay of the land and the cleanliness of the place made us feel so at home!!. Michael always hands on for anything with a laugh and great advice on restaurants and surrounding area. So much better than staying in a hotel!! We are looking forward to our next visit already! Thank-you!

We stayed here during a cross country move (after leaving our house but before travel) and this space was perfect. It had everything a traveler could want, and as a bonus there was a lovely outdoor covered patio. We enjoyed using the kitchen and we appreciated the laundry facilities. The hosts are friendly, communicative and helpful. We would gladly stay here again.

The neighbors were nice, the accommodations were nice. Michael was awesome. The neighborhood was close to the fun, but felt safe. The only minor downside was the bed/couch in the livingroom was uncomfortable to sit on for visits. We would 100% recommend this place.

This property was great to bring our dogs to. The only thing I would say is to maybe get a chair for the livingroom. The day bed does not provide comfortable seating.

It was quaint. Very nice small house. Owner was available when called on for few wifi issues. Location was convenient enough. Nice neighbors. Very cozy outdoor area. Wonderful nutmeg smell in the patio area, and i never figured out which plant it was...Id surely stay again. Only issue was, needs curtains for privacy in living room. We hung towels at night over windows. Nice match stick blinds and decor though...good value. Pretty place. Thank you and I loved it.

This is a great place to stay in New Orleans. It is very safe, looks just like the photos, has a beautiful yard to enjoy with a shaded area with seating, great for a dog, and with very gracious and generous hosts. It’s in a nice neighborhood and the unit is very clean with extremely comfortable beds and bedding. The host has fantastic restaurant recommendations and NOLA has the best food. It is a short 20-minute drive to the French Quarter where we went to the New Orleans School of Cooking for a cooking class that was fun and delicious. We highly recommend this unit and the hosts. Thank you!

The cottage is located in the backyard of a larger home that is also a rental. Not only is it spacious and clean, it's also only 13 mins from the French Quarter and has everything you need to truly feel at home. Full kitchen stocked with everything you need including a coffee maker and coffee/ creamer. The outdoor space has a large, comfortable sitting area overlooking a beautiful backyard. Parking and entry to the cottage are very convenient as they are fully paved. There is a 24-hour market and donut shop just minutes away. I will definitely be booking this cottage along with the main house the next time in im Nola.

Upon arrival to property you realize your driving thru sone questionable areas of town. When we located address we saw nothing that resembled the pictures we had seen. After calling the owner we realized the place was a group of “cottages” with multiple people on property. We thought we would be by ourselves with our dogs. There was no couch as pictured. Instead it had been replaced with a squeaky and uncomfortable daybed unsuitable for sitting and watching tv. Kitchen was tiny. Bathroom was especially small. There was no luggage rack so I had to get on floor to get my clothes out of suitcase and then put my makeup on in kitchen. Barstools at kitchen counter was only eating area and barstools in picture had been replaced with stools with no backs and too high to get legs under counter. Wifi and tv were sketchy at best and worked for two of four days we were there. Water faucet in kitchen leaked all over place. Grass finally got mowed late Monday evening. The Manager asked what he could do and we told him give us our money back. He laughed. Light bulbs were out all over. Not pleasant. Then the neighbor yelled at me because he had two huge dogs that were right on the privacy fence and my dogs barked when they were out to pee. He screamed that he lives there and did not ask to be by a b and b. He told me I was a guest and take my dogs inside. When we told the manager he chuckled. Not funny for me. We may never do a VRBO again. The cottage was a converted storage building.

We loved the location of this property. It was within walking distance to a bus stop and we were able to get downtown, and also the owner left some great tips for driving downtown. Good food suggestions. Only complaints would be that the place while mostly clean, there are a few places that look like they haven't been touched in a while. Tops of photo frames, and vent grills for A/C were dirty. Some of the walls could use a good cleaning, or a new paint job. These are minor things. Overall, the property is very cute, and was very comfortable for my family of 4. The washer and dryer was a nice perk, so we could take clean clothes home instead of having to do laundry upon returning home. I would recommend this property, I just hope they do a spring cleaning on some of the overlooked spots that can stand out if you are looking around. Thank you so much for your hospitality!
