When you walk into the home, you immediately feel that sense of welcomness and hospitality. The kitchen is very spacious and the laundry area was stocked with everything you would need. The bathrooms were very clean and the options on the shower heads are plenty. The property is within good walking distance to a few restaurants, bars and caffès. Overall a very lovely experience.

We had a fantastic stay here! The neighborhood is quiet but a short walk away from great shops and restaurants. The host was so kind and welcoming, and the house was well appointed and very clean. Beds were comfy and the hot tub was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend!

We had such an amazing stay at this beautiful New Orleans shotgun house! The location was perfect—just a quick 5-minute walk to the Garden District, but tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood which we really appreciated after busy days exploring.The home itself was exactly what you picture when you think of a classic New Orleans shotgun house—charming, stylish, and full of character. It was also incredibly well stocked with everything we needed, which made our stay so comfortable.The host was absolutely incredible—super responsive, helpful, and made everything seamless from start to finish.We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting New Orleans!

Fantastic house and location

We had a great stay and would recommend to others! Great location as only a few blocks to Magazine St and the trolley on St Charles. Loved having the backyard and hot tub to unwind in the evening. The bottle of champagne was a special treat. Hosts were wonderful and house was well stocked and very clean. Thanks for having us!

Wonderful weekend getaway

You simply could not ask for a nicer home or nicer property owners. They have went above and beyond to make this a wonderful home that is lacking absolutely nothing!! Great location as well. Either walking distance or a very short drive to anything you could want. Will definitely be coming back here in the future!

Perfect Stay

Came down to New Orleans for a few days with some girlfriends. The property is beautifully appointed and very clean. Lots of amenities were a really nice and unexpected touch. Kirk walked us through everything and was very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. I've stayed at a lot of rental properties and this was by far my favorite! Thanks for a great vaca!

Perfect in every way!

Home was exactly as described. They have really thought of everything. Neighborhood is quite. Street parking was adequate and we left the car parked the whole time and walked or ubered our way. Very comfortable stay. Owners were friendly, they live next door but left us on our own. Would absolutely stay here again. Can’t go wrong!

OUTSTANDING all the way!

Not only was their beautiful creole cottage house perfectly NOLA, street parking was super accessible and the location in the lower Garden District was just right, but the host went out of his way to help me out, even bringing me an ice pack, considering I was injured before our trip. So friendly and welcoming! All the house instructions were easily accessible, the alarm system easy to use, it was only 3 blocks to magazine st, and a couple more to the streetcar, so many restaurants to choose from within a 6 block radius, and the French Quarter is only a15 min drive away. We will 100% stay here again and we fully recommend you stay here too. Their little dog was just the cherry on top and you'll love rocking on the porch and watching everyone go by.

This might be the best home I've ever rented for vacation. Some things others should know: 1. The house is much closer to the FQ than a map would reveal. That being said, its not within walking distance. 2. Walmart is a 3 minute drive (maps say otherwise). However, the only things you'd need would be food or something on a personal level, Iwona provides A LOT more than the bare necessities. I suggest don't bring anything extra (like toilet paper, tin foil, coffee, laundry supplies) until you inspect the home to see what she already has available for use. 3. The home has 'green cards' throughout. Each instructs the renter succinctly on how to operate her home (such as lights, locks, dishwasher, etc) or informs you of expectations and explains why. Example: theres a 'live moss' picture (its so cool!) hanging high enough that small children could never reach it. The green card on the picture explains you cannot touch it or it will die. The green cards are extremely efficient and make your stay much more enjoyable as you are never left to wonder 'what if I' or 'how'. 4. White noise machines are in each bedroom. 5. The back yard is a secure, private haven. You can be out there at any hour talking and laughing with no issue. She only expects renters not to be excessively loud (screaming, music at the highest volume, etc).If you're lucky, you'll meet Matilda, the cutest dog in New Orleans! If you want comfort and clean, this is the place.

Quick Trip

We stayed in New Orleans for the TN vs LSU game. The drive to Baton Rouge was very easy! Kirk and Iwona’s shotgun style house was so beautiful!! Everything was perfectly appointed! The decor was amazing! The neighborhood was ok, and we felt very safe. Those traveling from larger metro areas prob wouldn’t think twice about the area. There was ample street parking. Thank you Iwona and Kirk!

Historic Home in Historic City

Loved to explore New Orleans and then come home to continue to enjoy historic feel of the city in our clean, fully stocked comfortable "Shotgun" home. Owners were right next door, to make sure we had everthing we needed, but also respected our privacy. They even were there to greet us at the door when we checked in late at 2am from our west coast flight. Unit was stocked with everything to prepare for a wedding (iron, ironing board, steamer, laundry machines) also had amazing accomodations of 10 flavors of coffee Keurig cups, lots of hair and skin products, all appliances and utilities worked 100%. We enjoyed the cooler mornings on the front porch rocking chairs and the warm evenings on the deck in the back. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and hope to come back soon. Thank you Iwona and Kirk!
