The stay was ok. I didn't appreciate the fact that the owner showed up twice without prior notice. One of the toilet seats was broken and it cut me on the buttocks. The fan blades were removed from the bedroom where I stayed. Also, the owner called me about the door being unlocked, and we were inside the property at the time.
Conveniently located. Parked our car the1st day we got there & didnât move until we checked out. Less than 10 minutes, but more than 5 minute walk from the Algiers Ferry. Perfect w/3 day ferry pass to & from the French Quarter. French Quarter experience but none of noise. Neighborhood nice, sidewalks bumpy and a little rough in some spots. House is very nice. Itâs old so you have old house noises but very charming. Furnishings are mostly antique, but comfortable. BC furnishings are older I wish there were luggage stands and plastic hangers. I had to place our luggage on the floor. Bruce was out of town on vacation, but still responded with any concerns I had. The beds were firm and comfortable. I always bring my own pillow and blanket, so canât comment on that. The showers were nice, water hot when needed. Very happy for the washer and dryer, because being summer we sweated with all the daily walking we would do, so it was nice to be able to wash our clothes in the evening. The only rooms that had window coverings were the bedrooms, so I kind of felt like we were on display in the kitchen, dining, and living rooms especially in the evening. No name brand grocery store nearby. Restaurants nearby that we tried and liked-Dry Dock and Nighthawk Napoletana Pizza. Itâs hard to get back on the highway and they seemed to block some streets in the evening. Rough sidewalks, blocked streets, and difficulty getting back on the highway is a city problem. Would definitely stay again.
The owner was always available and nice, responded very well to all things. It was clean and we found thing we needed, over all it was good. Would syay again.
It was a great location. You can park your car and use the passenger ferry to other side to Bourbon street and other activities. Local eateries just around corner and down the street.
Great location. Family friendly neighborhood. Will definitely stay here again. If you have kids though, or if you are an adult that likes falling asleep to TV, bring a laptop or tablet as there are only 2 TVs in this rental. The rooster out the back yard doesnât allow sleeping late either. Other than that, it was awesome!
The house was so nice. Lots of room and clean! The neighbors were very nice and gave us lits of recommendations. The neighborhood had everything we needed. Would highly recommend!!
The property is a lovely home. Restored beautifully. Excellent gathering spaces in the kitchen and living area. Safe, historic, family friendly area. We loved our stay.
We traveled to NOLA, Algiers, for my daughters wedding at Compass Point. I found the listing on VRBO and immediately liked the home. I was not disappointed. The home was old with squeaky original wood floors and the large original windows rattled a bit during storms but that is the charm of a 1929 home. The antiques are lovely, the kitchen was well appointed, and it has 3 bathrooms. The home is within walking distance to several restaurants and pubs as well as the ferry which drops you off right down town near Bourbon street. A 3.00 "Le Pass" pays for the Ferry, Trolley, and the bus line in NOLA for 24 hours. What a bargain. We met the Host, Bruce, and he is delightful. We will not hesitate to rebook this property.
Our party of 4 adults stayed here for 3 nights. It was even nicer than the photos online. Beautiful antiques and roomy updated kitchen. And very close to an amazing Mexican walk-up restaurant and only a few blocks from the ferry (to the French Quarters). Owner was very responsive and personable. Highly recommend!
This property is in a great location with easy access to the ferry and some neighborhood restaurants. Once inside it is more spacious than the pictures make it look. There are nice antique furnishings and everything was clean when we got there. The layout of the house and the associated furniture make it best for just four adults. Probably not many people coming to New Orleans are going to be cooking much food with all the great restaurants, but you should note that even for preparing a few breakfast meals during our stay we found the cookware to be pretty beat up and minimal.
The house had great old style charm in the heart of New Orleans. Neighborhood was safe. Comfy beds, plenty of towels although some shed. Bruce was very responsive and patient despite my being a first time Vrbo user. Would stay here again!
Was nice place very clean ,spacious, full kitchen , bathtubs are huge bathrooms and kitchen is fully updated . The rest takes you back in time . Easy access to get in . Does have a old picture of the lady we all thought was cool . Really no complaints at all. Was askedto start the sheets but it was ok to start washing them .overall very pleased
they have brochure on the buffet to.look at for adventures. Wasaksed to startstar
Bruce communicated very well throughout the whole experience. It was just enough. We were close to 4 different restaurants, close to the ferry, and there was a general store around the corner. Very ideal location. It was even a little park for the kids at the end of the block. The place was equipped with all the odds and ends. Very accommodating. It was a blessing finding this gem. 10 outta 10 would definitely recommend.
This house was a perfect place to stay during our trip to New Orleans. The house was clean and spacious. There were plenty of shops and restaurants nearby in walking distance. The host was responsive and even let us doing a last minute early check in.
We had a wonderful visit in this beautiful home. It was easily accessible in and out and with the ferry just a few blocks away, we were able to visit the French Quarters and not have to worry with parking. We felt safe our entire stay and no unseen issues happened. The house, kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms were clean. We will stay with them again on our next visit to New Orleans!
Hello! My name is Bruce. Welcome to New Orleans. I am a retired Chemical Engineer, who presently owns & operates The Junque Shop Antique Store in the Faugborg Marigny, at the base of world famous Frenchmen Street. I personally renovated my home in 2005-2006.
This is a Raised 'Shotgun' Double built in 1929, completely renovated in 2005-2006. It is located in historic Algiers Point, the second oldest settlement in New Orleans. It was built by a lumber yard owner. The walls are 6 inches thick & reinforced diagonally. The 2006 renovation opened the home to one living area upstairs.
My home is an economical alternative to the French Quarter, and yet is just a four block walk or drive to the Algiers/Canal Street Car/Passenger Ferry. Historic Algiers Point is a quiet alternative to the fast French Quarter pace, and yet close enough to enjoy the full benefits of the French Quarter and all of New Orleans.
