The house had all the comforts of home. It was beautifully decorated., close to many activities. Our hosts were amazing. They offered many tips about where to go. Tom who is a concierge , set up a city and swamp tour for us. An added bonus was the pretty patio out back for a drink or coffee.
My daughter and visited in January looking for a getaway from upstate NY winter. The weather was unusually cold, but our host Sara made up for it with her warmth and hospitality. The place is fabulous. Beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable, with unique NOLA charm, and lots of amenities. The neighborhood is ideally located for walking, with the French Quarter a five minute walk in one direction and the "real people" Bywater neighborhood a five minute walk in the other. The location is quiet and safe, but also has plenty of life, with restaurants, cafes, bakeries, and shops right nearby. Parking onstreet was plentiful and easy. Sara's responses were prompt and very helpful. She even found and happily returned some AirPods I had left behind. Will absolutely stay here again the next time we visit. Thanks Sara!
We stayed 3 nights in this home and loved it. The owners were very communicative and kind and even allowed us to stay longer than checkout time when they had no new guests arriving. The house was very clean and beautifully decorated. The location was perfect for us as we wanted to be in a safe neighborhood, outside of the Quarter, but close enough to venture out. We would definitely stay here again.
Loved our stay at Saraâs place! The neighborhood is quiet and only a mile walk into the French Quarter. Saraâs home was spacious for two people with all we needed and more. Will book again next time Iâm in town.
We really enjoyed our stay. The location was very convenient. The house was lovely and very clean (even had a Christmas tree!). Sarah met us when we arrived. Parking was available out front. Restaurants were within walking distance. We'd definitely stay here again.
Sarah and Tomâs cottage is even better than pictured!, Wonderfully comfortable and very quiet while being within easy walking distance of the French Market and the French Quarter. They were the perfect hosts. They responded quickly to questions, helped with arranging tours and made us feel at home.
We would highly recommend staying at the Upscale Cottage and hope we can return someday!!
We enjoyed our stay & the hospitality. The lovely backyard oasis was a great reprieve from walking in the French Quarter & the neighborhood. The accommodations were clean & comfortable. The owners were a pleasure to meet.
A perfect place for the weekend before Mardi Gras!
This is the cutest place in a nice neighborhood within walking distance to many of the things we wanted to see--the host was amazing and very thoughtful and helpful. This was my first foray into Vrbo, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and I'd highly recommend it for anyone else.
My husband and I went to New Orleans to attend a wedding and stayed at this lovely cottage. Our host, Sara, was so welcoming and helpful. The cottage is a perfect place to stay, beautifully decorated, cozy, and super clean. The location is in a quiet, charming neighborhood and is an easy walking distance to the French Quarter and several great restaurants. I highly recommend staying here.
There is so much I want to say. First, this home is even more beautiful than the pictures. Every amenity was available. There was plenty of free parking. The shared courtyard was amazing. Very peaceful, private and quiet. This space was perfect for the two of us. The hosts were accommodating, helpful and unobtrusive. They were simply lovely. Do not pass this up!
This is a truly great place and neighborhood to stay in. And the owners show a lot of pride and attentiveness. We did not have lack or need for any amenity that was not provided. Too bad the weather was a bit chilly, otherwise the fantastic backyard would have been a great place to enjoy while having a glass of wine.
Wow! This property is amazing! It is exactly what my husband and I were looking for when we booked. The check-in process was easy. The cottage was clean, spacious, and cozy. Sara even had a Christmas tree set up in the front room! The neighborhood is walkable, safe, and has plenty of bars and restaurants. There is a supermarket nearby where we purchased some items to cook at the cottage since there is a full kitchen within the unit. Additionally, the backyard patio space is awesome! I sat outside each morning and enjoyed the plants, water feature, and some coffee/pre-game beverages. If we ever return to New Orleans, I would definitely stay here again.
Perfect location with a New Orleans neighbour vibe!
The historic cottage was perfect for visiting New Orleans to experience the neighbourhood, local feel! It was well equipped, very clean, beautifully furnished to match the historic New Orleans feel! The special treat was the amazing courtyard, a special place with a peaceful feel! Sara and Tom were very helpful with local information and right next door to answer any questions. We will definitely be back!
Sara and Tom have furnished and decorated a lovely traditional New Orleans "shotgun" flat. Beautifully equipped with everything we needed for a comfortable stay; close enough to the French Quarter and WWII museum to be convenient (a $7 uber ride in most cases) but a quiet neighborhood so none of the craziness. Our hosts and neighbors were very friendly and we found welcoming neighborhood eateries in walking distance, although we could have cooked for ourselves in the fully equipped kitchen. Just terrific.
Sara has this adorable shotgun set up so perfectly. Everything you need at your fingertips! Beautiful courtyard and fantastic location that is totally walkable to the French Quarter, Jackson Square, and all of the historical locations! If I could give a 20 star rating I would! Close to excellent restaurants and a grocery store! We loved our stay!! She has excellent bedding and really nice bath towels too!!
Can't say enough about our stay! Our "house"--a Creole shotgun house-- was beautiful!!! Very nicely decorated with lovely art. Nice courtyard in back although we really didn't use it because we were never there! Easy walk to the French Quarter and Mississippi River. Frenchman Street nearby. Super quiet neighborhood with narrow one way streets; trees, potted plants and Halloween decorations. Little cafes and restaurants nearby. Sara and her husband were very helpful and great hosts. We enjoyed our stay immensely!
The location of this property couldn't be better and the people of this neighbor hood are very friendly. The cottage was perfect, clean, uncluttered and comfortable. Enjoyed having coffee on the front porch in the morning and wine in the courtyard in the evening. The host are wonderful and very knowledgeable about New Orleans. If we go back to New Orleans we will definitely stay here again.
Don't forget to visit the Bakery on the corner of Dauphine and Frenchman, the French pastry is amazing!
THANK YOU FOR A WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!
Our stay was wonderful. The home was comfortable, peaceful and well maintained. The hosts were accommodating and very friendly. The home had everything you needed, was close enough to go out and explore, yet far enough away to be quiet. Thank you for having us!
We greatly enjoyed our stay at the Napoleon House! The space is comfortable, elegant, remarkably clean, and felt like staying in an art gallery! We will be back!
We loved every detail of this rental. We were personally met by Sara when we arrived and she showed us around and made sure we had everything we might need. The home is beautiful and decorated with incredible care and taste. There were many personal touches to enhance our comfort; thick towels, comfortable bedding and relaxing outdoor spaces to enjoy. And absolutely spotless! We will definitely return.
My husband and I have been visiting New Orleans for over 20 years. In 2013 we were finally able to fulfill our dream of moving here permanently from Minneapolis. We love the weather and the diversity of the colorful culture. We purchased a double shotgun cottage so we can share our love of this city with family ,friends and you!
We finally chose to live in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood because it is so interesting and eclectic and yet close to the French Quarter and the Frenchmen St. excitement.
Our cottage is unique because it has so many years of history that have not been erased by modern renovations. It is comfortable to modern standards yet maintains it's historic beauty and authenticity.
