Beautiful House! Very clean, spacious, and comfortable. Great décor. Pretty garden to look at. Good communication with host. Easy to get in the house. Nice location in Bywater; it’s a 15-20 minute walk to FQ. No grill outside or dining set on the patio off the kitchen. There were only two of us so one bathroom upstairs was no problem but if you have two to three couples or a big family it might be a challenge. There are no counters for to all three pedestal sinks upstairs; it’s hard to put your toiletries adjacent. There were lower small side tables but not big enough – stuff kept falling on the floor. There is a bath on the first floor with a toilet and shower but no sink/mirror in the bathroom. Nice stay.

Loved this place and neighborhood! This was a beautiful rental; impeccably furnished and an oasis away from the craziness of NOLA. Very cool neighborhood that was fun to explore and gave an authentic New Orleans vibe. The owner gave detailed instructions so everything was as expected. We've stayed in lots of places in this city and rate this as our absolute favorite - we'll be back!

4 of us spent the long weekend in New Orleans for a birthday celebration. This cottage is truly stunning. It was so beautiful that we did not want to leave the property. The finishes and the courtyard are out of this world. This is the only place we will stay in 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! One contrast between Greatman and the Loft is that the 3-bedroom Greatman has some fairly steep steps to the bedrooms, while the 2-bedroom Loft is all on one level -- so that may make a difference depending on your visitors. It was all good with us, though. We had the choice of booking at a number of other VRBOs and hotels during this stay, and visited a few of them where friends were staying. We have no doubt, though, that this was the best accomodation we could have had. We loved it.

We had a family wedding in NOLA so chose Greatman Cottage to be close for many events. Nice house with room for 6 adults and baby. Good living room, dining area and kitchen. Close to several good neighborhood restaurants and quick Uber to Marginy and French Quarter. Normally there is plenty of street parking, but workers came every day to work on house across the street so parking was limited during the day.

Our visit to NOLA was perfect in every way - the Greatmen Cottage was beautiful, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. The Bywater neighborhood is very cool - architecture, the delicious foods at the Bywater Bakery one block from the house, Crescent Park along the Mississippi is just three blocks away…and an easy drive to so much history, restaurants, jazz clubs and more. Jim is the consummate host - we’ll be back!

The cottage exceeds expectations. Bywater is a great location and communication with property manager/owner is ten star experience.
