FRENCHMEN / 2- STORY CHARTRES ESTATE / PRIME LOCATION

Kent and Jose were great— welcoming and responsive. The big old house is roomy, well supplied, and charming. And it is literally steps away from some of the best places to hear live music in New Orleans.

We book this house because we wanted to be as close to the parade route as possible. It didn't disappoint. It was a great location with everything you could need as far as entertainment and food right at your doorstep. That being said, if you are a light sleeper you will need earplugs. Don't stay here if you are expecting a quiet evening. We read the reviews and went into it expecting to hear the bands and crowds in the street so we were fine with it. It is close enough to the heart of the French Quarter to walk, even for six older ladies. Even though we went in the coldest weekend of the year it was a great trip.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay and cannot recommend this place enough. From the very beginning, communication with Kent was easy, friendly, and reassuring. Check-in instructions were clear, and it was comforting to know both Kent and Jose were local and just minutes away if we needed anything.The house itself was perfect for our group of seven—spacious, comfortable, and well laid out so everyone had room to spread out. One of the biggest perks was the dedicated parking space, which made coming and going incredibly easy. Even with multiple cars, we never had issues finding parking, which is a huge win in this area.The location is unbeatable if you want to experience New Orleans at its most vibrant. Being right in the heart of the Frenchmen Street music scene was a highlight for us—we loved hearing live music right across the street and soaking in the energy. As other reviews mention, this may not be ideal if you’re very sensitive to noise, but for us it was part of the charm, and we all slept just fine.During our stay, the downstairs heater stopped working, but this is where the hosting truly stood out. One quick call to Jose, and he coordinated repairs while we were out sightseeing. Everything was fixed by the time we returned, and he communicated with us throughout—problem solved seamlessly and professionally.Overall, the home was comfortable, well-equipped, and made us feel safe and at home the entire time. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

The house was perfect for our group. It was clean and is walking distance to the French Quarter and French Market. Communication with Kent was great and he was very nice. The only downside is that it is very close to clubs on Frenchman Street and the music from the clubs is very loud until the clubs close.
