    charming house
    delightful breakfasts
    long walk
    tricky parking
    bathroom cleanliness

    The charming house offered a glimpse into the area's history, complemented by a welcoming atmosphere. Breakfasts showcased local cuisine and were well-prepared, making each morning delightful. The location was convenient for exploring, though it was a bit of a trek to popular attractions, and parking was sometimes tricky. A minor issue arose with the bathroom cleanliness, which detracted from an otherwise enjoyable experience.

    spacious room
    security concerns

    The spacious guest rooms were a real highlight, allowing for comfort during our stay.

    The lack of proper locks on the room doors was concerning, as it made me uneasy about the security of my belongings.

    historical décor
    dirty floors
    lack of security

    The historical décor added a unique charm.

    The room was not properly cleaned, with dirty floors and a cockroach spotted in the bathroom. On top of that, the lack of locks on the bedroom doors made us feel unsafe, even though there was a safe. The breakfast service was completely disorganized, leaving us frustrated and hungry.

    charming stay with some drawbacks

    The historic ambiance of this beautiful house was captivating! Glen went above and beyond, providing delightful tips for exploring the area. We also enjoyed the refreshing garden view from our private balcony every morning. This place truly feels like a home away from home.

    The walk to popular attractions took longer than expected.

    delicious breakfasts
    welcoming host
    disorganized breakfast service
    limited security

    During my 4-night stay, I was captivated by the history of the house, which is 158 years old! Glen was an exceptional host, providing delicious breakfasts with fresh ingredients, and he always made sure we had fresh towels available. The location allowed us to stroll to the French Quarter in about 15 minutes, making it convenient to explore the area while keeping our vehicle parked safely in his driveway.
