The place was gorgeous, had everything we needed, and the neighborhood was cute and full of fabulous restaurants within walking distance. We couldn't have chosen a better stay for our first trip to New Orleans.

We booked both Greatman Cottage and the adjacent duplex "The Loft at Greatman" for our family, which was in New Orleans for a wedding. Both places were beautiful and clean, and a wonderful place to come home to as busy events took place all Thanksgiving weekend. Both places had well-appointed and very nice kitchens and very pleasant living areas, with large, airy windows. There is a wonderful, private courtyard with a beautiful fountain -- a lovely place to relax -- just out the Cottage dining room french doors. The neighborhood is the Bywater, so like much of New Orleans, can be funky -- but very artsy and nice. If you know New Orleans at all you will be comfortable there! Booking the loft as well was great for our kids and grandkids -- so it was a wonderful location for all of us. Our host James we very nice and professional throughout the entire booking process, and was very accommodating to our needs. We recommend both Greatman College and the Loft very highly!

Really enjoyed our month-long stay. The place is comfortable and has everything you need. Great communication with the property manager. Close enough to the city center but in a pretty quiet neighborhood. Would recommend it!

Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. The area around looks like it could be a bit rough but we had no issues during our stay and the area was quiet at night. It was close to the French quarter although too far to walk. It’s a 10 min drive. There are some nice restaurants nearby good for breakfast and brunch.

From the time we booked to the time we left I was so excited for this property. The street is very quiet, and the place is decorated very well. We had a great time and would definitely book again with James. The only con (and it can't really be anyone's fault) is that the property is very old, so the walls are a bit thin. It's not a dealbreaker, but if you're a light sleeper just know these buildings are old and you'll have the same amount of noise control as a hotel room would. The property was in a great area, and we loved the long walks to Jackson Square and the French Quarter. It's a great way to burn off some calories from all of the amazing food and drinks! If you want to eat or drink nearby, we loved food or drinks at the Sneaky Pickle, Alma, Capulet, and Elizabeth's. We highly recommend a trip to NOLA and a stay here!

We have stayed several times at this small gem of a property! It’s the best!

We so enjoyed staying in this house during the Jazz and Heritage Festival. We were amazed at the beauty of the home when we opened the door. The furnishings, kitchen, floors, lighting.....everything was designed to provide a relaxing stay. James provided very detailed instructions which eliminated any questions about how to operate everything in the home. The neighborhood and the house are astoundingly quiet which was welcome after the volume of the festival. We took city buses to the Festival which was very easy from this location. We ate dinner in the neighborhood and were delighted by our choices. Crescent Par along the river was really fun for a walk. We've stayed in many rentals and many neighborhoods in New Orleans and this was one of our favorite experiences.

My husband and I stayed here with two friends who had never been to New Orleans before, and this was the perfect spot from which to venture out into the Bywater and immediately surrounding neighborhoods as well as down to the French Quarter and Garden District. The property is gorgeous, and James has thought of everything that one might need; he was also immediately responsive to my questions during the stay. I would definitely stay here again.
