When they say opulent, they mean it! We rented this for my 40th bday and it was perfect in every way! We felt extra fancy, the decor was beautiful, very spacious, the pool was perfect! The location was sooo great, just a 2 minute walk to the top of Frenchman. An epic bday celebration! Will be back!

My family stayed here and just LOVED the feel of being in an old mansion with all the lovely updates the owner did. Location was great close enough to lots of things to do. Marcia was quick to respond and helped with any issue we had. We will definitely be coming back!

Some friends and I stayed in this house for my birthday. We loved everything about it. The location was great. The pool was awesome and there was plenty of room for everybody. I highly recommend staying here.

Perfect for a large group/ family, can’t say enough great things about this house. Classic NOLA beauty. Gorgeous Details abound. . Everyone had very private quarters. our elderly parents were perfectly situated on the main floor, no stairs was a bonus for them. The kids loved the pool. Sitting on the porch under the fans with our sazeracs and bloody mary’s was a Marigny delight. Perfect location for that quiet neighborhood vibe, yet a short walk to everything. St. Roch’s market has delicious food. Delicious bakery & Grocery around the corner, the quarter is 15 min walk. Excellent find, definitely booking again & again ! Missing it already. :) Marcia & Michael are superior hosts who were very responsive with any queries we had.

We went to NOLA for a guys trip and had a great time!

Our stay in this home was an absolute delight, and the quirky charm of the house added an extra layer of fun to our NOLA adventure. The check-in process was smooth, and the hosts were prompt and communicative.
The property itself clean and also boasted some delightful quirks that added character to our stay. From eclectic decor to unexpected design touches, every corner of the house had something interesting to discover.
The pool and hot tub were a highlight, they were well maintained and provided a relaxing time in the heart of the city. And with ample space for everyone to spread out, we could fully enjoy all the comforts of home while experiencing New Orleans.
Being just a quick walk away from Frenchmen Street and the French Quarter was the icing on the cake. We immersed ourselves in the vibrant energy of the city, knowing that we had a retreat to return to at the end of the day.
Overall, our stay at this Vrbo was a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and quirkiness. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind NOLA experience, this is it.

A beautiful home that accommodated 6 couples very easily. The location was excellent with being within walking distance to the music and fun that New Orleans has to offer. I would highly recommend and look forward to staying again.

We rented the house for the second year over Christmas. The house is in in a good location near the French Quarter. There were enough bedrooms to accommodate our family and all were comfortable. The kitchen/ dining are is spacious and well equipped.
The only negative this year was the fact that the hot tub didn’t work the entire time we rented the house because the part needed to fix it wasn’t available until the afternoon that we checked out. However, I notified the owner who apologized and gave me an appropriate partial refund of my rental fee. I would definitely rent this house again.

Great location and property. Excellent place to stay with a group of people.

Our large family (aged 4 - 83) stayed for five nights in October. The house was perfect and offered something for everyone to enjoy! Tucked away from the chaos, we found everything we needed within walking distance.
The house has that true New Orleans feel with plenty of vintage touches to offset the modern conveniences. We enjoyed relaxing in the outdoor spaces - the pools, the porch and the deck, and the kitchen perfect for entertaining.

Amazing house, perfect kitchen for cooking and entertaining, great location.

This property is really special- it has a unique New Orleans vibe, wonderful decor, lots of period features and plenty of space for a large group. The communication from the host was excellent. It was in walking distance of lots of wonderful bars and restaurants as well as Frenchman and Bourbon. The outdoor space was a real bonus and we enjoyed sitting on the porch and swimming in the pool.

large, elegant, inviting, room for all, historical character!

The house was amazing. What a beautiful place to stay and reconnect. Away from the craziness of Bourbon street yet close enough to walk there when we wanted. Grocery store right there on the corner! It was lovely.

There are not adequate words to express what an amazing house, location and host support and generosity.
The house is beautiful and exactly as described. We will recommend to everyone and will be back.
Thank you for everything. Our son’s 21st birthday trip was all we planned and hoped.

Charming, strange old house for people who don’t mind the many issues that come with that. Some in our group loved, others less so. Convenient location but no local ambiance. Limited options for large groups in this part of town. Two back rooms are tiny. Other brs are massive. Steps and balcony are dangerous for seniors. Entire outdoor area was off limits due to repairs. Even the balcony hanging plants were completely brown, it was sad. Hope it is beautiful now.

The house is a New Orlean's classic beauty, located within walking distance of the French quarter. Large comfortable bedrooms with excellent mattress'. Great hangout kitchen area.
Nice pool and big hot tub. It was a nice place to come home to!

This was a beautifully restored historic house in a perfect location. The house accommodated my large family comfortably and was the perfect home base for exploring New Orleans.
4.9
the property is beautiful we only had wished we had known there was no a/c in the top 2 masters. they did everything they could to fix it but it was a combo of the old house / high ceilings / large windows and heat of NOLA in June that a/c could not keep up. they made it right but would definitely come back in the winter!
4.9
Great house and location. This was a perfect house for 8 of us to enjoy NOLA. Walking distance to FQ with a Starbucks and Robert’s Market just a few doors down. Rooms were big, Beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed. Thank you!
4.9
The house is nice, well maintained, and plenty of space. There are definitely some quirks with it being a historic home, but that only added to the charm.
4.9
Very cool, historical property
The property is just as listed. If you like old charm and unique spaces then this is place for you!
Our stay was short so there were no problems with the home other than the tv remotes missing batteries, the doors were left open when we arrived so there were lizards and frogs in the home, the home could stand to be deep cleaned in some areas like handrails and high touch areas (visible dirt on these surfaces).
4.9
Good location, walked to food store and Frenchmen street. On the border of a sketchy area so only walk during day time. Was $10 Uber to Bourbon st and the French quarter. Pool was great, house was great, only downside was two of the bedrooms AC units weren’t working well and it was hot. Overall it was a great location and home. We were 10 women celebrating for a bachelorette party, ages 25-60.
4.9
My cousins & I all flew in for a reunion and were very happy with the home. We loved the grand spaces and large dining area. With 8 of us, only a few needed to share a room and we had plenty of bathrooms too. Was exactly what we needed for a relaxing weekend. We easily walked to all of the best spots and even enjoyed soaking in the pool on the hot afternoons. We are so glad we booked this home and would recommend it again! (We did read the reviews about how one room could only be accessed from the outside balcony, which was fine for us, but might deter some -- so just know that the home is historic, which means some of the staircases aren't quite even, are very narrow, etc. which may be a challenge to elderly or those who have trouble walking but that added to the charm of the home for us.)

Perfect!
Accommodations were great, location ideal. The place was everything and more as advertised. We had 10 guests, 4 couples and 2 singles. The place is advertised as 5 bedroom / 5 bath but actually there is a sixth bedroom with a shared bath. Worked out great for the two singles.

The house was spacious,clean, and well equipped for a large group. Host was easy to communicate with and accommodating. We would definitely book this for our next stay in New Orleans.

This house is absolutely beautiful - just as seen in the pictures. Many of the bedrooms are very large! And there are 6 bedrooms - one is a little hard to find as it's only entrance is from the outside balcony - but easy to get to once you find it! The host was very quick on communication and fixing the minor issues that we had once arriving. The location is great! You get a residential feel but can easily walk to a cafes, the pharmacy and a small grocery store. You are also very close to Frenchman street and a walkable 20 minutes or so to the main section of French Quarter. We loved this house and felt so special to get to stay here and truly feel like we were living the New Orleans dream!

Magnificent Mansion in Marigny
Beautifully restored 1848 historic mansion in a perfect location walkable to everything. Huge bedrooms each with it's own bathroom and very comfy mattresses. There was talk amongst my friends of making this a yearly rendezvous location :)

Great location in a gorgeous home
A group of friends stayed here to enjoy time together and explore NOLA. We absolutely loved the location. Great local options a stones throw away, 10 minute walk to Frenchmen St. bars and 20 minute walks to heart of NOLA tourism. We greatly enjoyed the atmosphere of the accommodations. We knew in booking this home that there weren't too many consumable amenities such as shower soaps or pool towels, which was fine but could be a goal for this property in the future. Overall, it worked very well for our group.

A historic stay in a historic manor
My friends and I all had a great stay at this landmark manor. Michael was quick to respond to any of our questions. Would highly recommend this as well as any other of his properties.

Perfect!
My husband, two kids, and parents rented this house for my fortieth birthday, and it was AMAZING! I have rented many VRBO homes over time, and let me tell you, this is among the best.
First, the house itself is beautiful. Lots of old charm, wonderful porches, huge bedrooms, up-to-date appliances, and space for entertaining. My kids were in the pool/hot tub the entire time, which was wonderful because I could see them through the many glass doors surrounding the interior patio. The back of the house is separated from the front, and there's an entirely unconnected (giant) bedroom off of a porch in the center of the house. Because of this, we were all able to both have our own separate (and luxurious) space and then come together in the beautiful and well appointed common areas. Note that there are 6 bedrooms - the description says 5 in places.
The location is also awesome. It's right around the corner from Frenchman Street and an easy walk to the French Quarter.
Such a great trip. I would rent this home again in a heartbeat.
