We had a great time in Nola! Loved Betsy’s house. She was very nice and we loved her dogs. They were very friendly. Bourbon street was a little further away but Frenchmen street was pretty close. We had never been to that area and really enjoyed it there. We would stay here again.

Great experience
We rented out all three rooms in the B&B. Our group consisted of 7 adults, family and friends. The atmosphere was very comfortable and friendly. The decor was fun to look at. We enjoyed having a pool at our disposal. Betsy was more than accommodating. She always made sure we had what we needed. There was coffee, fresh fruit and other breakfast items every morning. The location is about a 20 minute stroll to the Quarter. We did Uber a couple of times because we were dressed for fine dining. We enjoyed having Mabel and Marge, Betsy’s two basset hounds for company on occasion. She’s very clear though if you are not a dog person, she will keep them from roaming. Would definitely rent again.

The perfect poolside stay for a group!
My friends and I were a group of 9 and had a great stay here. We loved the location, and the pool was the perfect way to cool down in the heat and lounge between our explorations of the city. We booked the whole house, and as the listing described this meant privacy everywhere except the kitchen/dining room area. Betsy was incredibly responsive and helpful leading up to our stay and during. We had some dietary restrictions and she was so accommodating and am amazing baker - the continental breakfast was a highlight. We enjoyed the casual atmosphere of the bnb. The dogs are indeed present so just a flag if anyone in your party has allergies. The bnb website (chezpalmiers.com) gives a good sense of the themed rooms. This was really the perfect place for our stay - thank you for everything Betsy!

Great B&B experience
This was a perfect place to stay for a weekend exploring New Orleans. Walkable to many attractions, easily accessible by road, and a little outside the most crowded areas (but not too far). Betsy was a wonderful host. We rented all three rooms for three small families, and the porch area was a great hang-out space. Thanks so much!

We had never been to New Orleans before. We chose this B&B and we were truly impressed. Betsy, our host, made it feel like our home away from home. She was awesome! We were a group of 7 and we met down by the private pool every morning and Betsy had a nice breakfast waiting for us. We would definitely recommend!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
We didn't initially realize this was a B&B, as we booked thru VRBO and were a group of 6, looking to have our own place. Once we heard from Betsy, she was very communicative and friendly, and we knew we were in good hands, despite a slightly different set up than we had planned on. She took GREAT care of us! And for our group, the place worked out very well, especially having the pool area to hang out in the mornings and then later in the day when we were ready to sit down again. Betsy puts on a lovely breakfast spread each morning and is super accommodating. And the location worked out for us quite nicely - close to Frenchmen Street! We may just have to come back.

Quirky & Friendly
Our family rented the entire home out. Betsy, Bill, Marge, and Mabel were lovely and great hosts. The beds were comfortable and linens were soft (huge plus!!). The backyard was private. The pool was much smaller than I expected but was fine for our family. If other guests were in the house it would have been a bit crowded. One downfall (not our hosts fault) the neighbors are building a hotel right next door. It’s very LOUD during construction hours. The breakfast offerings were simple but nice. Only docked the property on cleanliness and neighborhood. Yes I knew the location when booking the property… Just wish it felt a bit safer (it was fine but sketchy across Rampart). The bathrooms could have been a bit cleaner but overall everything was decent (I traveled to another VRBO recently and everything was pristine… in comparison this was 4 out of 5).
