Nice place clean and great location
Pros:

I like the location and the value. Great pool and nice breakfast It's a beautiful mansion. Friendly staff.

Cons:

I stayed in the rooms not attached to the house I would loved if I could've opened the door and walked directly outside, but maybe it's a safety issue since I wasn't inside the actual main house I wouldn't have to go into it to leave out if the door would've opened from the room.

On a adoré
Pros:

Piscine, la déco, le dévouement du personnel avec mention spéciale pour Emily et ses bons tuyaux, l'emplacement

la clim a eu quelques ratés mais sans incidence majeure sur le séjour car réparée rapidement. Le petit déjeuner gagnerait à être plus diversifié

Pros:

Emily was an amazing person and the stay was beautiful. She gave an tour of the space. The historical importance and a few good places in the area. She made a trip into an adventure. I would absolutely stay again but only if she's still there. She makes the space incredible. Thank you again Emily. Also the room was one of a kind I'm rebooking again right now.

Emplacement idéal et hôtel typique de Nola. Un personnel accueillant et à l’écoute. Un retour des locaux toujours positif sur l’hôtel et le quartier

Toller Aufenthalt in New Orleans
Pros:

Besonders hat uns die sehr sehr freundliche Unterstützung durch Emily gefallen. Sie ist offenbar die gute Seele des Hotels. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Der Weg zum French Quarter war fußläufig gut zu erreichen. Nach einem anstrengenden und heißen Tag war eine Abkühlung im Pool einfach nur herrlich. Unser Zimmer war geräumig und hatte auch eine Küchenzeile. Wir haben nichts vermisst. Unbedingt auch das Umland und andere Teile der Stadt anschauen.
Vielen Dank an Emily.

Cons:

Die Pappteller beim Frühstück sind etwas aus der Zeit gefallen.
