Everything was fantastic. I only wish it would have had on site dedicated parking

Great stay! Can be a bit loud but I'm sure that's part of the French Quarter atmosphere. My only confusion was with the check-in process as I did not receive the check-in email until the day after I checked in. However, it was very easy to find the contact info and Jessica responded to my phone call immediately and allowed us to check in early as our plane had landed at noon. Nice, clean apartment. I would recommend.

Had a great stay. The host was amazingly accommodating for our group. I would say honestly, location was a bit noisier than we expected. But overall everything was great.

Unfortunately, the residence is located right next to a cigar shop. Which means that all of the smoke from there incorporates the property. This was one of the first things we noticed as coming into the property. The residence was furnished nicely with an updated kitchen and bathroom fixtures. The bathroom in the main/master bedroom had black mold in the shower the shower lights around the mold did not work. Also, the door to the bathroom would not close. We had to hold the door closed in the master bedroom bathroom with our suitcase. It was also noted by our guests that the spare bathroom light flickered or turned off, making it hard to shower or use the facilities. For the money we paid and the amenities that were said to be provided, we think that this establishment was not on par with what was listed and fell short of describing the property fully to what we experienced. It clearly stated that the residence slept six people, this is not the case. It had a king bed, a queen bed, and a tiny couch (loveseat) that was not capable of sleeping anyone but a child. My sister had to sleep on the tiny couch and put a chair next to it to put her legs and feet on. This is unacceptable to pay for accommodations that were said to be provided that we do not have. Also, the TVs in both bedrooms did not work, and the main tv only showed local channels. I tried to connect with my subscriptions to the smart TV but the internet would not allow. Not what we thought we were getting!

Enjoyed our stay. It certainly was comfortable and met our needs.

Great location close to all the action. Property manager made getting in the condo super simple.
Some issues were the black mold in the master bathroom shower, the tv in the other bedroom is broken and falling off the wall. There were lights hanging from the ceiling by wires. The master bathroom door also doesn’t close.

We loved The Rousseau! So convenient to Jackson Square, restaurants, and shopping. The unit was airy and very comfortable. We plan to return!

Lovely apartment. No issues but sleeping was difficult because of all the drama outside.
4.7
Perfect spot close to everything in the quarter it still quiet and cozy. Beautifully renovated unit and building.

Great location and layout of the place. Fully enjoyed m would stay here again!

I go to New Orleans quite often and a friend was visiting from California, and I thought the unit itself and the location were both excellent!

We stayed in September for a long couples weekend. Was a perfect condo with each couple to have their own bed and bath. The elevator was nice after a long day of walking. Pool was down but hopefully back up when we come back. Will absolutely pick this location again!

When I tell you that this was the worst place to stay at…avoid it. There’s mold in bathroom, no hot water, stained linens/pillows, one tv was broken, broken toilet seat. When I messaged both the property manager Tyrone and check in clerk Jessica about this, I did not receive any communication back. In fact I was left on read by Jessica which is super unprofessional. Submitted a claim with Vrbo but didn’t receive any compensation from this merchant as if it was my fault neither of them didn’t respond. They should be and will be banned for this health hazard

There was black mold on the toilet, as well as the AC vents, and showers did not have hot water. However, there was more toilet paper than said and it was the good kind :)
4.7
We really enjoyed our stay and found everything to be super clean and accommodating. The location is close to lots of dining, great music, and shops. I love the extra security of the front gate and locked entryway. Management was super easy to work with and very responsive. She really helped me out when I left my phone in the building. We plan to search out this property everytime we visit New Orleans from now on.

Showers are pretty important to a nice vacation. These showers took 30-45 minutes to heat up and we didn’t know in advance.
Pool is listed and not included. This rental seems awesome in pictures but it’s not as good as it seems.
If you want hot showers that work when you arrive look elsewhere!

Location was great. Owners were responsive. House was clean and spacious.

Fabulous location, within walking distance to everything in the French Quarter. Very nice inside. Key fab set up made things easy to manage.
4.7
Newly remodeled accommodations close to everything within walking distance.
You’ll hear all the noise if bedroom faces the street.
Clean unit with superb communication from Jennifer.
The only negative was a huge roach on the living room floor on out last day.
4.7
The property was spick and span clean; appeared to have been recently updated; great location in French Quarter- easy walking distance to everything; it’s on a relatively quiet street ( quieter than other places we have stayed in the French Quarter.) We all had a great time in this lovely apartment. I would definitely recommend this property to those wanting to stay in the French Quarter.
4.7
For Mother’s Day weekend my husband and I and our 2 adult children stayed 3 nights. Great location, can easily walk throughout the French Quarter. Just a couple blocks from Bourbon St. so the majority of the noise is not heard. There were a few time during the night that you hear loud music or people outside but being on the 3rd floor it’s at a min. I would highly recommend this place.

Property was perfect for our group of 4 for an extended weekend getaway. The location is fantastic, it's right in the "heart" of NOLA in the French Quarter so you can walk to everything easily. The apartment itself was clean, stocked with basic necessities and was very spacious. It has been updated, so the inside is trendy and new. Only issue I had was that communication about the property came directly from My Southern Comfort via email and not through VRBO and I didn't know to look for the former so I had a few minor hiccups with check-in because the emails were going to my junk mail and I didn't see them. Luckily Tyrone was very responsive and he got us set up with all the details we needed quickly and was able to answer any questions we had. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting NOLA and I would 100% stay here again. Just know that communication will come through the My Southern Comfort address and not VRBO.

Great location. Quick to foodie joints, bourbon street and even Frenchman st. Walk to the casino, events, bars, clubs, breakfast Lunch and dinner. Convenience stores nearby.
This room was a very comfortable stay. Plenty of towels and pillows to share and temperature controlled.
Our particular unit had 1 broken TV, it “worked” but it clearly was mistreated as it was purple down the right 1/3 of the picture and didn’t have volume. The master bathroom door didn’t latch which wasn’t too big of an issue for us, but I could see it being a problem. Our sheets and pillow cases are weren’t the cleanest but we just washed them once over with the provided washer dryer in unit and detergent our host provided for us. This location is not quiet by any means and if you have a normal sleep pattern or trouble sleeping, do not choose this rental. I did however feel secure. If you are in New Orleans for the wild night life and access to nearby events and many tours, then this is a great spot. You never have to drive anywhere unless you choose to stretch to the swamp boat tours or a parade in a nearby city.

Perfect setting for experiencing this beautiful vibrant city on foot. We were glad we did not bring a car though as parking appeared to be an issue.
Also: it stays loud at night, so bring ear plugs for a good night sleep!

Our stay at The Rousseau was perfect. Easy access into the property and great location to explore the French Quarter.

This rental is in a good location and the building was safe and the unit itself was very clean and nice inside.
My problem was the complete rudeness of the hosts. I texted and called with a parking question which was never answered and I ended up getting a ticket.
Then I texted about some previous damage in the unit, I got a short response but no offer to fix the broken towel bar.
After that I texted both contact numbers asking how to operate the shower in the first bathroom and received no response at all so my daughter used my shower the whole time. Not a huge inconvenience but extremely rude.
So as long as you don't have any issues while you are there, this is a good rental.
I stay at VRBO's all over the country and abroad and you can always tell which hosts are in it as a business and which hosts have a genuine concern about your stay and your experience.

Great location. Very nice property. Beds super comfortable. Jennifer was always available if we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again!
4.7
The apartment was spacious and well appointed. Overall it was ideal for our needs. There were a few minor fit & finishes deficiencies that would be easy to correct and earn my 5th star. The location was ideal to explore the heart of the city. It was a bit noisy outside on Halloween weekend but the atmosphere on the street more than made up for that. Wifi was super slow- if that is important to you.
4.7
The condo was in a fabulous, close to everything and perfect for our needs. Does not look anything like the photos posted on VRBO. No fault of the condo, but very noisy in the evening. Perfect location!!
4.7
Property was very nice, clean and conveniently located. We were able to walk to pretty much everything that we wanted to do. I would definitely stay here again. Comfortable, decor was lovely, and spacious.
No issues, just the internet went out once and the kitchen sink was backed up but not an issue as we did not cook.
4.7
This VRBO was clean, well decorated, and comfortable. It is in a good location for walking. It gets loud in the early morning but ok in the night. Love the layout and the Kiel's products.
4.7
It was easy to walk everywhere we wanted to go. I thought there might be bottles of water, however we did not have any. Beds were very comfortable.
4.7
These pictures are not an accurate reflection of the property. The furniture is different. The exposed brick is sheet rocked which changed the character and charm. Plus the place needed minor repairs. There is no pool. It is a glorified fountain that has not been maintained and was unusable. It was filled with murky water and had debris in it. No thank you!
4.7
The condo building was beautiful and very secure! The condo itself was beautiful and very spacious. Huge TV, Bosch appliances, and very comfortable beds! It was close to everything, but really quiet at night. We would stay there again in a heartbeat!!

Very clean, beautiful, updated property close walking distance to Jackson Square and Burbon Street. Parking was a block and a half away and expensive, but understandable in NOLA. Kind of a pain with luggage and drinks. Quiet area with the exception of the morning trash collection and train nearby. I will definitely use this property on our next visit and recommend to friends and family!
