"Would stay here again!"

10.0

It felt like we were sleeping in a historical hotel! Was so cozy and could tell they took really great care of the property. Breakfast was delicious and the owners made us feel so comfortable and welcome, instantly. Room was comfortable, and very spacious. Bed was soft and blankets/sheets/pillows were perfect. Fridge was full of various waters and sodas, as well as a tea kettle and coffee pot to make our own tea and coffee throughout the day. The entire house had so many beautiful art pieces to observe, as well as many different sitting rooms to choose from. All with statement chandeliers. Only about .5 miles to walk to the nearest bus stop. Felt like we were away from all the ‘noise’ but still so close to it, if we wanted to have a great meal or go to Bourbon St.

We loved everything! But a few things I think would be helpful to mention, for other guests: There are stairs up to the entrance, then more stairs up to your room. But I do believe this is everywhere in NOLA. Two adorable dogs also live here and LOVE for you to play with them. No trouble at all, but thought I’d mention in case you have allergies. A HOT breakfast is served between 8:30-9am and it was sooo nice. You will share a table with other guests, which we loved. But wanted to mention just in case the reader isn’t familiar with how a bed and breakfast works.

Super lieve mensen en ontbijt. De woning is van buiten en binnen prachtig. Met 45 minuten wandelen loop je over een prachtige straat met bomen naar French Quarter. Ontbijt was goed.

Niets.

We had a great stay at this beautiful old mansion on Esplanade. Our room was massive, the breakfast was great, and the location was perfect. Would recommend.

"Quiet, elegant, charming grand house in a lovely area near coffee shops and neighborhood eateries"

8.0

We did not avail ourselves of the breakfast offering. We chose to sleep in and passed up the 30 minute breakfast period. It was offered each day.

Constance communicated several times asking for our arrival time. We answered each time. My husband arrived within 15 minutes of the projected time and was made to wait in the lobby for TWO HOURS with his luggage before he was allowed into the reserved room. Bob did not seem to know which room we had reserved and Constance was away from the house. No attempt was made to reach her or rectify the problem util she returned.

The room is spacious, especially compared to the typical hotel rooms. The entire building is kept very clean and tidy.

Although there are bus stops nearby, the public transportation app's timing is unreliable, so I need to allow extra time for transportation.
