The property was plenty big to accommodate 9 college pals in town to celebrate a milestone anniversary. The property is large, over a century old and well maintained.

Absolutely LOVED this historic home! It was in a quiet part of the city which was a nice retreat at the end of our very full days. The home was comfortable and well stocked. The porch was perfect for relaxing and listening to the rain. We all enjoyed the home and would stay here again in a minute! Thank you!

10 of us stayed here very comfortably! Nice to have bed rooms for all the adult children and their spouses. Plenty of room. It’s an older home and makes some noises but that’s all part of the charm. Grateful for the 2 showers on the 2nd floor. Couldn’t make the main shower work but we managed. Lots of room to eat, gather and enjoy each others company without feeling cramped. Thank you for helping us make great memories!

Our family of 9 adults fit in this home super comfortably with plenty of space to gather together, or spread out when you want quiet times. Separate HVAC for top and bottom floors made it great for everyone to have the Temps they wanted and the accommodations were fantastic. Only 20 minute drive from most sights in NOLA and the property owner Jami was super helpful and communicated great!!!

The house is gorgeous and came fully equipped. Jami was super responsive to any question or need. Good location, short Uber ride to all the sites. Neighborhood seemed safe though we didn’t do much walking. Recommend using ride share from home after dark.
