Spacious 5Br Urban Retreat with Balcony & Pool
Perfect for a large group or family getaway! This modern apartment had everything we needed—clean, well-equipped, and the washer/dryer was a lifesaver. We stayed here for a week while attending a conference at the convention center, and it was just a pleasant 0.8-mile walk. If we wanted to explore the French Quarter, we could hop on the Charles Ave trolley, which stops just one block away. The only minor downside was hearing footsteps from the unit above, especially late at night or early in the morning. If you’re booking, consider requesting a lower-floor unit if possible—it would make for a more peaceful stay. Overall, the location, space, and amenities made this an excellent choice for us, and I’d definitely recommend it.
Fleur de LIS Mansion
Staying at Fleur de Lis Mansion in New Orleans was an absolute highlight of our trip! The beds were incredibly comfortable—so much so that it felt like we were staying in a cozy home rather than a rental. The hot tub was a perfect spot to unwind after a day exploring the city, and the spacious kitchen made it easy to prepare meals with friends and family. We especially appreciated being able to rent the entire property, which was ideal for our family reunion. Cooking at home and even doing laundry on-site saved us time and added great convenience. The location couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the French Quarter and the WWII Museum, both must-see spots. The mansion beautifully blends old-world charm with modern comforts, including fast and reliable Wi-Fi. For dining and essentials, Plates restaurant is just around the corner, and Nesbit’s grocery store is within walking distance for any last-minute needs. Stein’s Deli is also nearby and worth stopping by for a quick bite. Our host was incredibly welcoming and responsive—when we needed help with laundry during our stay, he gave clear, helpful instructions right away. Overall, this experience was truly unique and memorable. We loved every moment, and I’d highly recommend Fleur de Lis Mansion to anyone visiting New Orleans.
Newly Renovated Condos French Quarter
Staying at this newly renovated condo in the French Quarter was an absolute delight. The location couldn’t be better—walkable to restaurants, bars, and major attractions. The unit was spotless, modern, and very comfortable with a nice touch of local charm. A few minor issues: two outlet covers were missing, and there were three exposed nails on the wooden floors. That said, these are really small details in an otherwise excellent stay. The overall experience was fantastic, and I’d definitely book again if I return to New Orleans.
Inn at the Old Jail
Staying at the Inn at the Old Jail was an absolutely unforgettable experience. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the heart of New Orleans, with easy access to restaurants, shops, and vibrant nightlife. Housed in a beautifully restored former jail, the hotel blends historic charm with modern comfort. Every detail, from the unique architecture to the cozy rooms, feels thoughtfully curated. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the soundproofing made for a peaceful night’s sleep. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. It’s rare to find such character, quality, and value all in one place. I’d highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting New Orleans—and I’ll definitely be coming back.
Elysian Fields Inn
Michelle and Bob went above and beyond with their warm welcome—truly exceptional hospitality. Throughout our stay, they generously shared local recommendations for restaurants and must-see activities, making our trip so much more enjoyable. I was especially touched when Bob kindly drove us to pick up our rental car—such a thoughtful gesture that made our arrival seamless. The home is beautifully furnished with tasteful decor, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Every detail felt intentional and well-curated. It’s clear this place is run with passion and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience—highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting New Orleans.
Balcony Guest House
A friend recommended Balcony Guest House, but I had to cancel my stay due to an unexpected family loss. The staff was incredibly kind and understanding, going out of their way to help me reschedule without any hassle. Even though I wasn’t able to experience the property in person, their compassion and professionalism left a lasting impression. I truly appreciate their empathy during such a difficult time—this level of care is rare and unforgettable. I’ll definitely be back when circumstances allow.
Madame Isabelle's House
Staying at Madame Isabelle's House in New Orleans was such a rewarding experience—it truly captures what a community-centered stay can feel like. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and deeply authentic, making it perfect for travelers seeking something beyond the usual hotel routine. I was especially impressed by how thoughtfully designed the space is for older guests—proof that life after a certain age can still be vibrant, joyful, and full of connection. The staff are kind and attentive without being overbearing, and the quiet neighborhood offers peace while still being close to everything the city has to offer. I loved the morning coffee on the porch, chatting with other guests, and feeling like part of a real community. It’s not just a place to sleep—it’s a place to reconnect with yourself and others. I’ve already booked my next visit, and honestly, this won’t be my last. If you’re looking for a meaningful, heartfelt stay in New Orleans, this is it.

The Olivier House Hotel
Staying at The Olivier House Hotel was an absolute delight. We booked a cozy loft room with a private balcony and a stunning chandelier that added such a romantic touch to the space. From the moment we walked in, the charming atmosphere captivated us—elegant yet warm, with just the right amount of vintage flair. The balcony was perfect for sipping coffee in the morning or enjoying a quiet evening under the stars. The hotel’s location is unbeatable—just steps away from vibrant streets, great restaurants, and local attractions. It’s clear that attention to detail goes beyond the surface, making this place feel more like a home away from home. I’d highly recommend this gem to anyone visiting New Orleans looking for a unique, intimate, and memorable stay.

This hostel has been the cleanest accommodation I've stayed at in the U.S. The common areas are spacious and well-maintained, making it a great spot to relax or meet other travelers. Breakfast was excellent—fresh, varied, and delicious. The staff went above and beyond with their kindness and helpfulness, always ready to assist with recommendations or local tips. Their warm hospitality truly made the experience stand out. It's not just affordable—it’s an exceptional value for what you get.

India House Hostel
Absolutely perfect for budget travelers! We stayed in the Green House and booked the 'Ocean View' room—funny thing is, it actually overlooks the pool (haha), but that didn’t take away from the experience at all. The bed was super comfortable, the air conditioning worked flawlessly, and the room was quiet throughout the night—no noise disturbances whatsoever. One of the best parts? Never had to wait for the shared bathroom or shower down the hall. The shower itself was decent, though the sink could use a bit more water pressure. Location is safe, and parking on the street was hassle-free. Overall, this place exceeded my expectations. I’d definitely stay here again if I’m back in New Orleans.

Staying at City House Hostel in New Orleans was an absolute delight, mainly thanks to Erika—the host who truly made the experience unforgettable.

Whether it was helping with check-in, offering local tips, or just sharing a laugh, she went above and beyond to make sure my stay felt special.
