The location is great - easy walking to French Quarter, Bywater, right next to Frenchman St. Ton of everything you need right nearby, but still very quiet and peaceful. Place itself is comfortable and charming. Many nice little touches of tasteful but joyful mardi gras decor. High quality and plentiful towels - soap, shampoo, coffee, tea etc. if you forget to bring any. A wonderful place!

The Natchez room was very clean and quiet. The staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. The location is within walking distance (1/2 mile) of the French Quarter, Bourbon St, WWII Museum, and multiple excellent restaurants. No real negatives to the location or the building.

Ben was a great host! Super responsive and easy to communicate with. Neighborhood was great, within walking distance to Frenchman St. and the quarter if you're able and willing! Had a bunch of bars, stores, restaurants to check out, it can get a little loud at night but we knew that going into it and it didn't bother our group. Highly recommend this as a place to stay when you're in NOLA!

Uptown Creole Bungalow, Perfect Central Location!

ColeRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Nicki’s home was an amazing place to stay during our trip to New Orleans. We wanted something with authenticity in a residential area away from the madness, and this was perfect. It felt like we were truly immersed in the history of the area, but with all the comforts one could ask for. Comfortable beds and thoughtful touches throughout the house made it feel like home, and a quick 2-block walk to Magazine St offered tons of cute coffee shops, restaurants, bars, etc. Nicki was a great host and let us leave our bags early ahead of check in time. I would happily stay here again!

Great location! Perfect size for our family of 8. Responsive host. Easy in/out. Very high ceilings in unit and lots of sweet character. For anyone street parking in this area..we got a parking ticket for parking within 20 ft of a crosswalk. Also lots of 2 hr parking. It was fine until the French Quarter festival started, then there was no parking. We had to find a paid lot.

I loved staying here. We went with 9 girls for my bachelorette party. There were beautiful places to take photos, a great back yard/courtyard to hang out in (and balcony), and was modern and clean. The girls loved the Airbnb as did i. It was in a quiet and safe neighborhood while also being a 20 minute walk to bourbon street. At night we ubered but during the day we walked! She’s also so sweet and responsive- let me check in early too! If I was going back to NOLA, I’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

Marigny Manor Near French Quarter, 5-Star Rating

RachelRating, 5 stars1 week ago

What a gorgeous home! We were just blown away when we checked in and couldn't get over the layout and the character of the place. I wish we had had more time, and I will definitely book this place again next time I visit NO. The Marigny has always been my favorite neighborhood, and Franz's place was just deep in enough to be quiet, away from the lively bars on Frenchman, while being a short walk to all the action. Mostly though, I could have spent the whole visit on the balcony porch drinking coffee. So dreamy!

We had a great time! Weather was perfect and we ended up walking alot, even to Mardi Gras world from the house, then took shuttle to french quarter and rode the street car back. It's a quiet street and neighbors were friendly. Be sure to ride uptown on the street car to view the beautiful houses.

Cool Modern Condo in Best Location

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 133 reviews2 weeks ago

Perfect location for us - neat building, on the edge but not in French Quarter - but easily accessible to thing like Streetcars for zoo and garden district, ferry, warehouse district, WW2 museum, etc. Apartment obviously not someone's home but a rental - that was fine since it was styled well. You sometimes hear the trolleys rumble by but we found that charming. you could have two couples or a couple and kids but prior reviewer is correct in that because of the styling of the room divides there would not be privacy if you wanted some intimate time. That said, kitchen, bathroom and storage were all great - good wifi and TV in main room and bedroom. All in all, a great rental for a week.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about my stay with David and Dag! They were responsive, helpful, and overall outstanding hosts. I have been to New Orleans often and have stayed in a lot of different places but this by far was my favorite! My husband and I had an amazing experience walking around the neighborhood and exploring all Magazine St and Uptown had to offer. The hosts left an excellent guide book full of recommendations for food and fun. It was quiet, clean, and so close to everything we wanted. You wont be disappointed!

Wonderful stay in a great location in the lower garden district! The apartment was clean with comfortable bedding & more than spacious enough for 2 couples traveling together. Loved how easy the access to the entire city was from here - both walking and quick occasional ubers. Hosts were very responsive and accommodating, doing whatever they could to help us out when we had some weird flight timing issues. Thanks again!

Mike’s place was lovely and cozy, though it’s on the second floor the stairs were on the shallow side so they were easy for our older dog to easily get up and down. The side yard is fully fenced and was just the right size for dogs. The area was lovely and easily walkable to some amazing restaurants and shops on magazine. The street car is only a block away so it made getting to the quarter a breeze. I highly recommend Mike’s place.

Its a wonderful, old, quirky space that has been updated and is totally functional and roomy. The location is perfect for access to the various neighborhoods in NOLA. Very close to good restaurants, short walk to the Quarter etc. The C unit is up three flights of stairs (which I missed in the pictures and description) which wasn't really a problem except we had one person in a "boot". Otherwise it was clean and safe, functional and historic. So all in all very nice.

Would recommend this place to anyone. The pool was beautiful and clean and the house was amazing. Looked exactly like the pictures. Not only this though, but the hosts were the most responsive of any place that I’ve stayed. There was a large TV in the outdoor area that was giving us issues and they quite literally bought a new tv and replaced it within 24 hours of us letting them know. They also were super responsive to any other questions we had. Could not have asked for a better stay. Thanks for having us!
