Cute and comfortable cottage with a nice courtyard to relax in. Was very close to public transportation. Street car and magazine street lines. Friendly and safe neighborhood right next to the park. We really enjoyed our time there.

Excellent location
The apartment is located in a central residential neighbourhood, a short distance from all other districts in the city. The studio itself, although small, is very functional and opens on a pretty coutyard, allowing guests to spend leasure time outdoors. Parking is quite easy on the street. The only inconvenience we experienced during our one-week stay was ongoing noise during the day, due to 1) building crews renovating a big building just behind the studio, and 2) the dog next door barking a lot. Otherwise, it was very pleasant.

Wonderful place to stay
CoZy and clean studio with lots of thoughtful touches. It is in a perfect location for New Orleans stay. We absolutely loved the area and ease of getting around, I really don’t think you can find a better area to stay. Everything is very well kept inside and out. We had little hang up for arrival not having the code or being able to get ahold of the owner , I think just happen to be an oversight and we understand things happen every now again. It all worked out great still. She followed up and made sure everything was great and was very courteous. We would most definitely stay here again.

Cozy studio in a great location!
Great retreat for us during a fun-packed wedding weekend in the Garden District. Well-stocked and comfortable. Great bed/sheets! Highlight is the large enclosed patio space. Sorry we didn't get a chance to meet our host, Matilde, but she was very welcoming and helpful via text!

Gorgeous, hidden gem, perfection 👌🏻
There could not be a more perfect location in all of NOLA than this little space 😍 The owners are quite possibly the sweetest, most-generous & kind people we’ve ever met. The guest house was clean, convenient & decorated with fabulous art...we found ourselves wanting to chill in our room & the courtyard as much as possible. One block away from the cutest eclectic shops, coffee shops & restaurants...this is truly a hidden gem in the city! Matilde & her husband were just amazing & even leant me their last gate key when I left mine at a friend’s house...just such sweet people ❤️Thank you both so much !

Wonderful experience, gracious hosts, perfect location.
This accommodation provided the perfect place in which to make forays into whichever direction we desired into New Orleans. Using public transit kept things simple for us and this property afforded us the ideal location. Our abode was clean, inspiring, and fully adequate for our four days. Our gracious hosts completed the “picture-perfect” experience.

Great Place to Stay!
We greatly enjoyed our stay. The cottage was well appointed with coffee (with all the fixings), laundry detergent, folding lawn chairs and even bus schedules. We rarely moved our car from the free on-street parking, since the bus was conveniently located right outside our door. We would definitely stay here again!

Fabulous Location
Experiencing the historic Garden District was a revelation. Many trips before to New Orleans were in other parts of the city. We walked so much more because of the proximity of cafes, bistros, coffee shops and boutiques. A lovely park is steps away. The beautiful lush greenery of mature big trees makes it so lovely. The secluded, well appointed garden also was a big draw. The room itself is roomy and comfortable.We enjoyed the sophisticated art too. We were there during Jazz Fest and the Lyft drivers were invariably only 2 minutes away !

The cottage was clean, spacious, and a peaceful respite away from the bustle of New Orleans' many lively neighborhoods. Our host was friendly, and very helpful. We couldn't have asked for more.

A beautiful little spot
Matilde and Gustavo were wonderful hosts...and so were their cats. The courtyard is great for lounging and it’s quieter than being in The Quarter...yet, just a short Uber or trolly rides away

Beautiful place to stay.
We booked a trip to NOLA and selected an apartment to stay in that is owned by the same people as this one. When our flight dates changed and I asked if we could extend our visit Matilde said it was already rented but she offered this cottage for our first two nights. She was so very sweet and very accommodating to us, which we really appreciated. The cottage is behind Matilde and Gustavo's home. It's quiet, beautifully decorated, and has every amenity that we could think of. Matilde and Gustavo were so welcoming when we arrived. They gave us numerous suggestions on where to eat, places to see, etc. This location is awesome, with so many things to do within walking distance. The true charm of NOLA is here. We enjoyed strolling down the streets and looking at all of the architecture. After our second night Gustavo moved our luggage to the apartment for us, which was so thoughtful. We didn't have a car and didn't know what to do with our luggage during the day. We didn't need to worry about that! Matilde and Gustavo are gracious hosts and we look forward to coming back to stay here again!

Comfortable studio apartment just a block off Magazine Street
Went to NOLA for my husband's birthday, looking for a relaxing weekend. Just steps from Magazine Street where you can find a wide variety of shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. St Charles Street trolley is a few blocks away, and an Uber to the French Quarter was just under $7. Quiet, safe neighborhood. The studio apartment is in the back yard, and is surrounded with lush greenery and patio seating, perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Owners were very friendly and welcoming, but not obtrusive. Found parking close but most spaces were full during our stay. Will definitely try to stay here on our next trip.

We loved staying at Matilde's guest house. We stayed for 5 nights in May. The accomodations were very comfortable and private. Matilde and Gustavo were wonderful hosts. We did mot see much of them but definitely felt we could contact them with any questions. We would definitely stay again.

Fabulous Rental
This rental is perfect for a New Orleans weekend getaway. My husband and I travel frequently to New Orleans to visit our daughter. We have stayed in many hotels as well as rental properties and we couldn't have been more pleased with our choice this time! Matilde and Gustavo were so warm and welcoming throughout the entire weekend. The location is perfect for those who are visiting for the weekend or enjoying a longer stay. We were able to walk to neighboring Magazine Street for food and shopping. It is also within a few blocks of St. Charles if you want to take the streetcar either to the French Quarter or Uptown. We had a car for the weekend and parking was easily available on the street in front of their house. We would highly recommend this property to anyone traveling to New Orleans!

Great courtyard getaway close to the Convention Center and Garden District Amenities
This was a great little bungalow for the price. It was within a short walk to the convention center and right around the corner from all the Garden District attractions. There was a wonderful coffee shop a block away and lots of great restaurants and shops. The hosts were very nice and made sure I had everything I needed when I checked in. I will bring my husband next time and have a nice weekend getaway.

charming, comfortable, lovely home and area
The little cottage was quite lovely, tucked behind an equally charming little on a pleasant street across from a park. The owners were very warm and inviting and responded immediately to text with various questions. It is lovingly maintained and I have no doubt set up anything with less than perfect the owners would rush to remedy the situation. I am definitely going to stay here whenever I'm in New Orleans.

Highly Recommend
My mom and I stayed here for five nights and were very happy with it. If/when we visit New Orleans again, we will be sure to stay here. Matilde and Gustavo could not have been nicer or more welcoming; when we met them it felt more like seeing longtime friends. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. It is tucked in the back of their garden, so it was a nice, peaceful spot. Their street is a through street to Canal, so it was a little busy at times, but we never heard the cars. There is also a generous lane for street parking and we never had a problem with getting a parking spot right outside their house. Various forms of public transportation are accessible nearby as well. A fantastic coffee shop, Mojo, is only one block away and a great breakfast place, Surrey's, is within easy walking distance as well. This was our first time staying in a by-owner rental and it was a wonderful experience thanks to Matilde and Gustavo!
