Conveniently located FQ. Plenty of space for group. Parking was good. Behind the house. NEEDS REPAIRS: FRONT & BACK DOORS HUGE GAPS, doors need to be sealed. Rain was coming in like crazy at back door, had to put several large towels around door. It wasn’t good. could slip.(previously reported)
back door needs better lock. Has a hanging chain, but no hook. DID NOT feel safe.
NO AMENITIES! No bars of soap in shower. I brought K pods for coffee/toilet paper. No dish washer detergent or pods. Should have enough dishwasher pods for the guest’s length of stay. Cooked breakfast each morning. Nothing to clean the counters with. TOWELS/SHEETS/PILLOWS old. NO COASTERS!
1st floor bedroom, where should I begin, tub/shower is CLOGGED. you take a shower in ankle deep water. No safety bars. This bedroom SMELLS BAD. I thought it was musty. BUT it is MOLD. There’s an oscillating fan in there probably due to mold. Look at the ceiling, you’ll see it. But you’ll def smell it! When you walk in back door, you get a whiff of it.. BAD FOR health. bathroom door 1st floor bedroom, handle is broken. same bedroom has smoke detector BUT detector just has electrical wires hanging down.
The showers! hot is cold & cold is hot. hot really isn’t hot. should be in the details/description that everything was reversed. Chair is BROKEN IN LIV RM, previously reported. Prev reported items from other guests should have been repaired.
I wouldn’t stay here again. mold/smell/doors/no basic amenities

We all really enjoyed our stay. My only suggestion would be to have a list of instructions such as any helpful instructions like garbage collection, how dirty bedding should be handled and any suggestions on where to eat in the neighborhood. All the VRBO's that we have stayed at previously have some sort of guidance on what condition we should leave the property in.

Absolutely loved the house! We had no issues at all. In a great neighborhood, but still close enough to everything we wanted to do. Would definitely book again.

My family and friends had a wonderful time staying at this beautiful home. Not far from the French Quarter. The neighborhood was quiet and quaint. The home had PLENTY of space for all of us. There were a couple of hiccups during our stay, but Mr. Landry was quick to resolve any issues. He even stopped by to check on us and made sure that everything was good. Well, Mr. Landry, we are still talking about our stay there. So much so that we plan on coming back to NOLA next year for the food, fun and southern hospitality!!!

The house itself is nice but it does need some upgrades the bed pillows,sheets, comforters and mattress needs updating the pillows have no stuffing they are very flat. The shower curtains and rugs needs to be replaced they are worn and washed out. The chair in the living room needs to be replaced when you sit it goes almoyto the floor. The kitchen door needs to be sealed you can see outside. Very nice home but really needs updating

This house and location was just what we were looking for! Three teens had their own room. Never waited more than 10 min for an Uber and ride into NO was about 10-15 min. Mr. Landry was very responsive and showed up to fix a chirping smoke detector when we arrived. Plenty of room to eat and watch tv. Bring K cups for coffee. The first couple of nights were cold and the downstairs was quite drafty so bring an extra sweater and fuzzy socks if you get cold! As others have mentioned, hot and cold are reversed on faucets. If you plan to cook, may want to bring some
Measuring cups, bowls, knife and cookie/ baking sheet. Not a lot of provisions but most folks don’t come to NO to cook, so wasn’t a big deal to us, but these are things I like To know. We felt very safe here. A must see is sunset behind the city at the Miss River just blocks from the house. We and several others sat and watched the sun set. Conseco Market very near the house has great take and eat options. Get some donuts at Gerard’s. My hubby recommends the Maple Bacon! The Arabi Food market was closed so we didn’t get to try that spot. The home was clean, plenty of linens provided. Would highly recommend this home and would definitely stay here again. Thanks Mr Landry for your hospitality!

We came here for my 21st birthday and enjoyed our stay! The only bad thing I would say is that the showers and the downstairs area was a little cold.

We had a wonderful stay in Arabi. The house was perfect for our needs and was very nice and comfortable. We all felt at home. The rooms were all spacious. The downstairs area had everything we needed! We rented a car and the trip down to Bourbon St and surrounding areas was super easy to drive to from the location. We would definitely stay again!

Loved the bedrooms and bathrooms. The upstairs area was extremely nice and spacious. We were able to get Lyfts to go to Bourbon street and typically our wait was only 8 minutes- night or day. Thank you for your hospitality.

Didn't work out as planned
First of all, this is the week that the tornado hit this area but only the power was knocked out.
Started off with a strong paint smell in the bedroom. No big deal I figured, I would just sleep with the window cracked even though it was going down to the upper 40’s.
Got in bed at night and realized that there was only a sheet and no blanket in the bedroom in this house, so I had to close the window and all of us had to sleep in a sweatshirt and clothes.
Now the power. The owner lives nearby and did hook up a generator the day after the tornado.
We were considering leaving but he said he thought the power would be back up the next day.
Generators are very loud and 3 bedrooms were right next to the generator which made sleep very difficult. 2 people had medical devices that needed power so the generator needed to stay on. On top of that, for whatever reason multiple smoke alarms started beeping at 3:30 am so obviously no sleep the first night.
When asked about the power the next day he said it should be going back on that day.
When asked about fixing the smoke alarms so they wouldn’t beep all night his response was “there is a ladder in the closet”. Wait what???? I said some of ceilings were 12’ high with a 4' ladder and asked him to take care of them.
Of course, no power that night and he did nothing with the smoke alarms so they started beeping at 4 am. One person had to sleep on the couch in the other house the rest of the time, one basically said he just drank so much that he could get a few hours sleep and I only got another couple hours of sleep.
Same story, I was told power should be back on and I took down some smoke alarms.
No power that night, other smoke alarms were beeping and again no sleep.
I have afib and 3 days of no sleep put me in a prolonged afib attack and I had to buy a ticket home and cut my trip short to get my heart under control.
I get the tornado was not his fault but when asked about a credit for putting up with these conditions the response was “come on back next year and I will give you a good deal”.
Yeah, no.
Most people are nice when everything is going good, you see someone’s true colors when things go wrong.

This house was terrific. It had plenty of room for our large family and the kitchen had everything we needed for serving simple meals. The neighborhood was nice and quiet.

Family gathering
This home is so nice and spacious. Full of NOLA charm and in a safe neighborhood. The kids had room to play outside at their leisure. Mr. Larry was very attentive to our needs. Check-in and check-out was a smooth process. Would definitely book here again.

Not the best, not the worst
A group of friends and I stayed at Larry's property while spending the weekend in New Orleans. No check-in information is provided except the door code. There's plenty of room, and the beds were comfy. There is a coffee maker but when we arrived, there was only one k-cup coffee pod (we ended up buying our own pods to use while staying.) Finally, there were bugs everywhere – huge flies, dust mites, etc. that made the stay feel a little less clean. They seemed to be coming in from a broken window downstairs, so I imagine this isn't how it normally is. Little things aside, Larry is easy to reach and quick to respond, and the area was in a great location. Really only docking stars for the tedious things you just don't expect with a vacation rental.

This is a great house! Plenty of room and bathrooms! Hit and cold water are backwards so took a bit of finagling. The location was good and safe too! Communication between me and the owner was easy.

Great location
Property is located in a quiet neighborhood. Easy drive to the French quarter if you're familiar with the New Orleans area. The biggest hurdle is that check in directions could be made clearer before arrival. There was no iron or ironing board but there is however a washer and dryer.

College drop-off
The property is nice and is in a very nice neighborhood very quiet/peaceful. The first unit the upstairs air conditioner was out so owner moved us to the other unit. The back bedroom floor you had to be careful to not trip because it needs to be repaired from a leak owner said but other than that it was a pleasant stay.

Birthday/Girls weekend
Awesome property! Awesome property owner. We really enjoyed our stay here in New Orleans. Close proximity to the city life, but this was a great quiet place to rest during downtime. We loved it here and planning on coming back. Oh and the store/mart up the street... oh my it is a must to eat there!!! Everything we purchased was delicious! Thanks Mr. Landry!!

Loved it!!!
Great house for groups or families. Far enough from bourbon street to north have to deal with congestion or noise but close enough to not have to travel far at all. Great quiet and nice neighborhood. About 10-12 minutes from Bourbon street

Good Property
This is a good property and was pretty clean. It has a lot of space, several bathrooms and comfortable beds. The only downside is that there was some mold on the ceiling in the master bedroom (downstairs), the WiFi does not spread throughout the house, and it is a little hard to get around using Uber’s, it tends to take a few tries to get one to show, especially during peak night hours.
