Oakview Bed and Breakfast

Fabulous location and the best host ever! Russel was so nice and accommodating. Beautiful neighborhood across from City Park! The house is an eclectic mix of New Orleans and Russel’s collection from around the world. The breakfast was delicious! Lots of stairs, but lots of charm. Will stay again!

Great place to stay for attending local festivals around City Park. Before booking, ask the owner about extra perks. They let us check in very early and leave super late.

Amazing room and hospitality. Russell provides everything you need for your trip. Real personal touch.

Very nice BnB. Room was clean and comfortable with individual AC unit, full bath, small sitting area. Manager was very attentive. Knowledgeable and helpful regarding how to get around town. House is across the street from City Park, and about a block from streetcar stop. Was an easy streetcar ride to the downtown - Aquarium area. Nice full breakfast each morning. Breakfast was served in large dining room, so guests who wanted could chat with others staying there. Within walking distance of coffee shop. Easy drive to neighborhood seafood cafe.

Great location right across from beautiful city park, street car stop and the art museum. Very nice neighborhood, quiet with some good restaurants in walking distance. Nice relaxing porch to sit out on and have a drink or coffee. Our room was spacious, very comfortable bed and great shower. Our host Russell was very personable, helpful and the breakfasts!!! - They were so delicious and generous. We never wanted to eat lunch.

Room was comfortable, very large. No cleaning during the entire stay. Generous southern breakfast, which was a little late for us: 9 am, so we skipped it twice. Owner is very kind and helpful.

Location was great, host was amazing, breakfast was fantastic, view was lovely! We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Rusell did a great job to maintain this wonderful house. He provided great breakfast even though I got up late. The only concern to this house is there is no satisfactory wifi coverage. In modern life, it could be quite inconvenient if there is no high-speed wi-fi in a hotel. I'm sure Rusell will improve it in near future.

We could not have asked for a better experience for our first trip to New Orleans. We were there for our sons wedding and booked the Oakview Bed & Breakfast because it was close to the park where the wedding was and close to Ralph's for the reception. Our room wasn't ready when we arrive, but Russell the owner, met us at the door with a big smile and hello. He gave us a tour of the home and explained where everything was that we might need. We asked if there was a place to just change clothes and put on comfortable shoes as we had to meet our son; he opened an empty room for us to change in and told us to leave our bags by the stairs and he would see they were put in our room . When we got back to the room later that day we couldn't believe how nice and comfortable the room was. We didn't get to eat breakfast but I am sure it was wonderful. I would recommend Oakview to any one going to NOLA the location is beautiful and right across the street from City Park. Russell is a great host and so fun to talk to, he made our trip just that much better! Thank you Russell!!

Russell was very welcoming, with good local information. Perhaps it was us, not fitting very well into an American B&B situation. We found the breakfast offered at 9 am. For us with limited time to sightsee, and the need on departure day to go early for a long drive, this was far too late. We were happy to miss it, it that's what was necessary, but disappointed that there were not some cold items we could have quickly eaten, even if mine host was not up. Not very responsive to customer needs.
