It's important to me to create a space that is inviting, comfortable, and convenient for my guests, at the same in keeping with the original architectural details of my 100 year old house, and drawing from inspiration the colorful palette and vintage decor from this inimitable 300 year old city.
Setting up the house for your convenience while traveling is NOT an afterthought for me--it's the focus of my hospitality and my careful consideration. Whether you're in New Orleans for pleasure, for work, or to visit family, my goal is to provide an experience that is effortless so that you can focus on time well spent here...
Key to a good night's sleep are our new, comfortable beds. In addition to our DirecTV subscription, two of the 3 TVs are smart TVs, so you can stream Netflix, Amazon, etc if you prefer. I also have a some games in the console in the living room: dominoes, playing cards, chess/checkers/backgammon set, and Cards Against Humanity. Our new Samsung washer and dryer are an appreciated feature for travelers. Detergent for the clothes washer is on hand for your convenience too.
The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, cooking utensils, knives, and many basics that you'd need to prepare a meal. In addition to the new dishwasher, toaster oven, microwave, and coffee pot, we also supply a crock pot and a blender. The kitchen pantry regularly features items like coffee, coffee filters, tea bags, sugar honey, Splenda, olive oil, salt, pepper, spices, paper towels and plates, plastic reusable Mardi Gras cups, ziploc bags, trash bags, dishwasher pods and dish soap. And snacks, of course!
The bathrooms always feature plush towels, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lotions, shaving cream, sunblock, first aid kit, toilet paper, kleenex, Q-tips, and cotton balls. Detergent for the clothes washer is on hand for your convenience too.

Wonderfully set up and spacious home. Really enjoyed the neighborhood - quiet and walkable. Near Tulane and close to restaurants. Easy uber to the french quarter. Highly recommend!
I stayed here during Super Bowl week. It was in a safe neighborhood and in a great location which was close to everything. The house was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely rent again.
Very well equipped and incredibly comfortable. Wendy was lovely, really helpful and proactive. Great neighborhood. Five stars and would return in a heartbeat!
Great house. Super responsive host. House was clean with plenty of supplies and extra bedding, etc. Construction in the neighborhood was somewhat intrusive, but Wendy was completely open about it in advance. We enjoyed very much and would stay again.
This home has plenty of room and a great location. Host is always available and very friendly. The home is stocked with just about anything you would need. She even went out of her way to drive a pair of earrings I left behind to my daughter in law. We love staying here when we come to visit our granddaughter.
The host Wendy was wonderful and easy to communicate with. Her home has everything you could possibly need. She even had breakfast food already in fridge. The bathrooms were also well stocked. Great location, we walked everywhere and it was close to the street car for downtown travel. Neighborhood was nice, safe and quiet. We have family here and will definitely stay here again.
The property was beautifully decorated and felt like home, walking distance to so many local shops and resturants and the Trolly. Neighborhood was beautiful and every single person was so nice! We met some people that live on the street and eveyone was so welcoming! 10/10 Love this house, We loved sitting on the front porch early mornings. If we ever go back (we loved our expierence) we will absolutly stay here again! We were there for Taylor Swift/family vacay, there was even some special treats put outfor my daughter that were Swifty related!!Communication was excellent. Always a quick response and sent us several links to local events and resturants that did not dissapoint!
This was one of the best vrbos I've stayed in with attention to things like lamps on night tables so you can read in bed, power bars so there are enough places to plug in phones and computers, pots and pans so we could actually cook.
The house was centrally located to shops and restaurants and was completely outfitted. We were able to have coffee the first morning there, before discovering the neighborhood. Every need was anticipated and the place was pristine! I would highly recommend this property! We plan to stay there again when we visit New Orleans.Karen Nuland
I am a native New Orleanian. Moved away to Michigan after college where kids were born and raised. Spent Christmas together as a family. Great amenities, neighborhood and location.
This is the best VRBO I have ever stayed in! The place was very clean and comfortable, and had every amenity one could want from the basics of soap/shampoo/conditioner to extra papertowel, toilet paper, sun screen to coffee, coffee filters, etc etc. The location is great - walking distance to coffee shops and Tulane-LSU. I would definitely stay here again. Wendy was also readily available and helpful.
This is a very comfortable 3br/2ba with a nice kitchen, dining room, and living room.
It is very convenient in the Carrollton area near a bunch of restaurants and Uptown.
The hosts/owners are very responsive and nice. They provided breakfast (eggs and biscuits in the fridge) and milk for your coffee and a few other nice, thoughtful touches.
5/5 will stay again.
Thank you Wendy for the opportunity to share your home. We attended our son's Graduate School commencement. The home was clean, comfortable and well stocked. We enjoyed some of the local eateries and coffee shops in addition to a quick hop to the Quarter. Thanks again.......
Great place to stay and great owner. Wendy was very helpful. Streetcar stop was close by. Kitchen was well stocked. Streets are very narrow and bumpy. Can hear trucks rattle through the neighborhood at very early hours.
Wendy’s and Tom’s (and Violet’s)home is perfect for a family vacation. It easily accommodated our three adult sons and us, and was stocked with everything you could need (even breakfast for the first morning). Walking distance to the street car and cute restaraunts, as well as an easy uber to the French Quarter. Great for running as there is a beautiful park nearby. Wendy and Tom were so helpful and kind, and had excellent recommendations. Don’t miss dba!!! Thanks for a fabulous stay. See you next year.

Beautiful home close to the streetcar
Wendy was the best hostess we could have imagined. She was thoughtful and considerate and provided us with great information about the area! The property is a short walk to the streetcar and provided a beautiful space close enough to be convenient and far enough away to enjoy a peaceful atmosphere in the evening. The beds we're super cozy and the house was well stocked with those thoughtful touches that make any trip just a bit more special! Thank you Wendy and Tom for making our first NOLA trip memorable! We will definitely be back when we return to the city.
We chose this property due to its proximity to Tulane/Loyola and could not have chosen better. The house is exactly as pictured and pristinely clean. Our host was very welcoming and made everything easy--even supplying snacks and breakfast items! The neighborhood is residential and quiet, but close enough to grocery stores and restaurants that it was very convenient. And less than a 10 minute drive to Loyola, which was perfect for us. We'll be back!
The house was so cute and just as described in the listing. The Owner was so helpful when I reached out for questions during our stay. She had snacks and little extras that I had not expected. We had come to town for my cousin’s wedding.it was myself, my mom, my Aunt and my three children, twins 12 and a 14 year old. I would definitely stay there again,
Property was as described in listing and suited us well for our stay. Host was easy to communicate with and very responsive. Location was great, home very clean and comfortable, and quiet.
Well equipped and met all our needs. Thank you to host.
