Great location, good food and museums nearby
My partner and I enjoyed a very lovely five night stay in the middle of September. We loved the room and the location was perfect. It was a really reasonable price which included breakfast. The weather was very warm and staying in a historic carriage house could’ve been uncomfortable, but the AC worked hard the whole time we were there and so the room was always a refreshing place to return to. The amenities were good and the staff was friendly and helpful. There is some parking if you need it but you can easily use the public transit. Conveniently located a block from the streetcar with easy access all over the city. The public transit is really affordable and pretty easy to use with an app. B&B is located just a five minute ride to the French quarter or Garden district. Even closer to the WWII museum which is INCREDIBLE, even if you’re not a history buff. Check it out. There is some tasty food in the neighborhood too. We especially enjoyed Suzy’s Soulhouse and Maïs Arepas. Would absolutely stay again if I’m back in New Orleans.

We are very understanding people and easy to please. This place was definitely old New Orleans vibe for sure. Our only problem, and knowing this is a very old house, was the floor of the bathroom. The floor had a very obvious lean to it and i mean i put something on top of the toilet, and it immediately rolled off. We had a bottle that rolled to the bathtub. Other than that, the staff was so amazing and so sweet!!! The cleanliness was very acceptable. The service all together was perfect. The only recommendation to the owners, is if possible, please have bigger televisions or at least the TVs higher up to where you can see them due to the high footing of the bed. We would stay at this property again especially for the convenience.

I like that it was a bed and breakfast in a townhome. Customer service is great. Breakfast is a standard continental breakfast. The room is outdated. The sheets were stained. There were too many access points to my room (one to enter room from inside and another that goes straight out to the courtyard). The hotel is also too expensive for what you are getting. I booked at a busy season, so my options were limited.

I would not recommend this as a place to stay. Cracks in walls, bathroom showers. Dirt between cracks in floors. The breakfast consisted of dried cereal and shot glasses for juice.

Our stay was great. Ross was very knowledgable helping us navigate the area for the best views. Chelsea's breakfasts each morning were delicious and filling. The house was beautiful, comfortable, and so quiet we never noticed the other guests until breakfast time. It's a bit of a walk to the heart of the city, but the streetcar is a block away, so we had no problems with transportation. Lovely lodging, will book again next time!

Overall a nice bnb with a good breakfast! The house itself is old so things are creaky and small. The mattress was also pretty firm, not a complaint just a heads up. Good restaurants within walking distance.
