About this house rental
Located in the heart of the Algiers Point Historical District, this 1889 classic follows the "shotgun" style layout, all the rooms in a line, with the kitchen and bath at the rear. There are two single beds in the first room, two queens in the second, and three singles in the third. If you need more beds, just ask! By city regulation I am limited to four adults, but there is no limit on children under twenty-one. I have yet to check anyone's I.D., though.
Algiers Point, the "best kept secret" of New Orleans, is just across the river from the French Quarter. A ten minute stroll on the riverfront bike path (or use bikes- I've got three, and more are easily rented)) brings you to the oldest continually operating ferry in the U.S., which makes the ten minute run every half hour. The river here is a half mile across, 260 feet deep and runs fast. Not to be missed! And you can see tall vessels sailing past from the porch!
There are two "OK" restaurants, one outstanding breakfast place, and three coffee shops within two or three blocks of your door.
There is lots of safe parking on the street just in front of your door for short or long term stays. The bathroom has lots of fresh towels, various toiletries, and an endless supply of hot water (at least I've never yet run out, even with twelve guests!) The kitchen is well stocked with all the regular breakfast items you expect: cold and hot cereal selections, eggs, breads, butter and other condiments, various fruits, yogurts, juices, milk, beer and wine, and soft drinks. There is a supermarket two miles off, and I am pleased to shop for any special diet items you might request. I have ducks in the back yard (kids love to feed them) which lets me offer you the freshest eggs you will ever have. The fencewd back yard is a safe place for your dog to frelax.The levee bike path is only a block away and goes for miles. I have three bikes and more can be rented easily enough. There is a new playground and park just a block away.
There is a swing on the front porch so you can sit and watch the herons in their nests high above in our immense, 200 year-old oaks, "Bearded in moss and in garments green, indistinct in the bayou's twilight", as Hawthorne wrote. There is wi-fi, of course, and a radio and TV with local stations and a large selection of DVDs. You will find this house quiet, comfortable, and just the way to get a real taste for the city. 420 friendly. Once more, though, I want to stress that this is sort of an "open dorm" configuration, and the only privacy is in the bathroom.

The host was incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to ensure we had a quality stay!

The host was wonderfully receptive to all our needs. He went above and beyond to provide not only the perfect space but a fully stocked kitchen. We spent time talking with him, learning about the neighborhood, and the history of New Orleans. He was very insightful concerning sites that would be of interest to us. I cannot say enough, good things about this property, the neighborhood, and the host. We will definitely stay here again should we find ourselves in this part of the country in the future! Love the ducks in the backyard who seemed unaffected by my Great Dane! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

6.0 / 10.0Average·Feb 2023
The house definitely has that New Orleans vibe. The owner was very nice and hospitable.
This place could be 100% amazing.
Positive- the space is great and theres plenty of bedding. The owner stocking the kitchen was a nice touch. The shower had good pressure and nice hot water.
Negative-
It needs some maintance done. The flooring by the back door is giving and has a peice of plywood over it. Theres huge gaps around both doors,allowing drafts to come in. We actually had to put blankets around them. It definitely needs to be cleaned better. The more things you have the more cleaning it needs. Layers of dust on the floor that was actually visible. Dust on stuffed animal decor and tons on the ceiling fans.
The thermostat and tv remotes needed batteries, I bought some. There is plenty of bedding which is great, however you sank in them and couldn't move easily. Theres no fire alarm in the back of the house. Theres only one small one in the front room.
This information is to only benefit the property not to bash.
