We loved our stay at The Garden District Gem!It was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. It was very clean, the shower had hot water and good water pressure. The off street parking was nice as was proximity to the street car on St. Charles Avenue.Brandon was a great, attentive host and check in and out was very easy. There were even shopping bags and umbrellas provided for use.I would not hesitate to recommend it or stay there again.

We felt safe and the proximity to the streetcar and hop on hop off stops are super convienent. Bed was comfy, place was clean and well stocked. The washer and dryer are included but not in the unit just as a heads up, but they provide more than enough towels for duration of the stay. The neighborhood is quiet, except one night there was jazz being played in the street a block away but they only played for about 45 minutes and not late and it was really pretty neat.

Garden District area - a great place to stay!

All was as indicated in the online posting. Kitchen was great for making a few meals...loved the ice maker in the fridge. Didn't use the washer and dryer but nice to have in case we needed it. Good water pressure in shower...found a bath mat for bottom of tub after a couple of days...appreciated that as tub was quite slippery. Queen bed was very comfortable...supply of linens was great. We enjoyed our stay very much...area had many restaurants to choose from, a few grocery stores and having the tram/trolley only a block away on St Charles was so handy. Would recommend...thanks for having us Brandon and Larissa.

About the host

Hosted by Brandon

Host profile image
My wife and I (married 21+ years) met in the service industry and made New Orleans our home in 2002. I am passionate about "service" and have found a calling not just culinarily, but in hosting as well. We are avid travelers who love to share our journey, comforts and local knowledge with the intention that guests will have a memorable and lasting journey.

Why they chose this property

Our condo was our home for 7 years. It's proximity to the St. Charles Streetcar was an ideal location for my days of commuting to the kitchens of the the French Quarter, where I learned and taught for 13 years. Off street parking was an added bonus that is a rarity in New Orleans.

What makes this property unique

Our small condo association (6 units) has ample outdoor space to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee, BBQ, sip on a classic cocktail or maybe even sneak in a catnap. Off street parking is an additional bonus.
