A Beautiful Jewel Box... This House Is Painted Black !

Come chill in the sitting pool!! This private house has one private bedroom and a living room. There is a nice size kitchen , with a cozy gas fireplace. the living room has a couch but it is not a fold-out. The bedroom opens on to a gorgeous courtyard with a sitting pool. All new renovation , but old world charm remains. It is in a great location .. Within walking distance to the Marigny, Bywater and the French Quarter. There are a variety of bars, restaurants and coffee shops near by. Best of all, the St. Roch Market is just steps away!

Great location!
This location was very convenient for us with places like St. Roch Market, Honey’s and the Food Co-Op within easy walking distance. The only downside for us was crowd noise from the St. Roch Tavern, which kept us up at night a bit later than we would have preferred.

Comfy New Orleans style home
This was my second time staying at this property. It is clean, comfortable and well equipped. This is not your sterile bland new hotel style home. There is a beautiful courtyard full of tropical plants and 2 fountains. I came to escape winter in iowa, and brought my bike to get some exercise. The owners kindly let me keep it in a little shed. The house is an easy walk to spotted cat jazz bar, a great food market and right next door to Roch market,, with many dining options. Tom immediately helps out if something is missing or doesn’t work. Last time my husband was with me. This time I stayed by myself and felt perfectly comfortable walking around the neighborhood

Quaint but in need of attention
Home was as described, however it needed some cleaning and could use some upgrades. Owners were pleasant to deal with. Located in a bit of a rough looking neighborhood. Bar across the street means loud at night and train tracks near by mean noise in the morning! Bed was comfortable, but noise level meant not much sleep.

Not a great experience
We were not impressed with this property. It was dirty! The towels smelled like they had been left out wet. The sheets felt dirty. We had one roll of toilet paper and one roll of napkins for a four day stay. The bathtub was nasty. The tv in the room didn’t work and the WiFi never worked. It also had old style space heater and a fireplace with a pilot that smelt of gas and kept turning out. I would not stay again.

Cute house but needs love
Tom was great as a host. House needs some love & a good cleaning. It had what we needed and a great location. Parking was easy. We felt safe. But the house is definitely old and smells that way. Could be amazing with some elbow grease and updating.

Cute little cottage close to great food at St. Roche Market & City Market. Close to blue bike station. Bus stop (1.25 blocks) & Streetcar (4 blocks) are close. Place needs a deep cleaning, but general areas are clean & linens were clean & it was fine for me. Would stay here again. ay here again.

cute but not clean or friendly
As someone who has also hosted vacation rentals, I was a bit off put by my female hostess at this property. There were a few times I was in the pool (which is in the communal back yard) the female host came out and sat on her porch. I said Hi and was ignored. I figured maybe she was deaf, however a neighbor walked past and said hi at the same volume I did and he sure got a response. I tried to say hi to her about 3 other times during my stay. Once I saw her in front of Maries bar, I said hi and got nothing back. I heard from a local that she hates punks, now I wouldn't classify myself as a punk however I am covered in ink with bright hair. Also the cleanliness of this place defiantly needed some work. The rug in the living room was covered with dead termites. There was popcorn under the bed, I don't eat popcorn so it had to have been left from the last guest. And while I totally appreciate the snacks they left behind, I'd of liked it a lot better if they were not all expired food items. I can say, if the female host of this house would have been hospitable, I would have left a stellar review. I would have had my family book it for their trips. Kindness goes the distance and this place

Mixed review
We had a 4 day stay starting last Thursday ending on Monday. Upon arrival we were indeed greeted by the ower who showed us around the house and garden area. When we first walked in we felt it was quaint and pleasant. Once we unpacked and settled in, we began to notice deficiencies. Although the description of the property says renovated, this must have been done many many years ago. The baseboards and wainscotting borders were black with dirt/dust. The taps in both the kitchen and bathrooms were so well worn you could turn them on and off in both directions. The furniture was well past its good for use date. The chairs and couch were very uncomfortable and well well worn out. The doors all had black streaks from many many fingerprints. The bathroom walls had water stains coming down from all walls as well as the shower walls. These items are so easily repaired/remedied and would make the house so so much more comfortable. The neighbourhood was convenient and close to everything one needs/wants. The bar on the corner is very loud on Friday and Saturday nights, but that is to be expected. The hosts were quick to reply to any e-mail we sent and we really didn't see them for the most part. The courtyard was not usable for our stay as it was a bit chilly, which is too bad. We are hopeful that our suggestions are taken as constructive points only. Thank you.

Small black house in interesting neighborhood
House was interesting and convenient to local sights. Its very near the Roch Market, which is like the french market downtown with local vendors of all different types cuisines to try. It was an easy walk to the spotted cat jazz bar ( about 0.5 miles) and around the corner from bus stops. There is a great food store 0.3 miles walk. The owners were very helpful with any problems we had, and went overboard to help us. Unfortunately the gas fireplace was not working while we were there, which would have made the place even cheerier, since we managed to be in New Orleans for a big freeze. The towels were insanely luxurious. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Cute little black house w/rose colored door
It is just as pictured and described! Perfect spot right outside the French Quarter. We had food, coffee, pharmacy, and bars within walking distance. Tom and Ann were very reponsive to our messages. Tom met us outside the house and showed us around. He also worked with our early arrival and later departure. We had beer and root beer and Zapps chips waiting on us. Coffee and tea are provided. Cable TV. Heaters for cold weather. Comfy matress for our fussy backs. We could walk to the French Qtr in 20 minutes. Quieter neighborhood with typical city noises like sirens and garbage pickup. Loved it! Recommend you trying them out!
