LIVE LIKE A LOCAL!© Just Outside the French Qtr. in New Orleans

The location was perfect for walking anywhere you need to go!! The house was charming and beautifully decorated!!! The host was super attentive to detail and the best host we’ve ever had at a vrbo!! We would highly recommend!!

Very clean and comfortable, especially the bed. The hot tub was awesome and the kitchen was well maintained. Ron was an exceptional host and very knowledgeable. He gave us the history of the home and made a map of the best restaurants and places to visit. He made sure the home was stocked with all the extras including robes and umbrellas. They even gave us flowers for our anniversary and necklaces when we checked out. Definitely recommend staying here!

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-night stay in this beautiful historic Creole home in Faubourg Marigny. The location was absolutely perfect — just two blocks from Frenchmen Street and an easy walk to Bourbon Street, while still feeling charming and peaceful.Ron was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. The 197-year-old home is full of authentic New Orleans character and was impeccably decorated by owners Mark and Ron with thoughtful, original touches that made it feel both elegant and welcoming. The king bed was exceptionally comfortable, and the fold-out bed worked great as well.The kitchen was stocked with everything — and more — that we needed, the bathroom and shower were wonderful, and the A/C kept the home perfectly comfortable even in the New Orleans heat. We especially loved having morning coffee in the lush garden surrounded by beautiful foliage, and the jacuzzi was such a treat after long days exploring the city.This home truly feels like New Orleans in the very best way. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

Hot tub and garden area were beautiful. We used it every night. House was clean. Location was great. The bus/ETA stop was right up the street. Robert’s market was suggested by the owner/Ron. Great market! Ron made restaurant suggestions. We tried a few and we loved all of them. Parking is on the street, first come first serve, but Ron/owner was able to save us a spot upon arrival. Cutest kitchen!! Home has an amazing history. I booked this because of the garden and it did not disappoint.

Ron was awesome! He provided a lot of history about his place and also provided an excellent map about the French Quarter and Bourbon Street. He provided recommendations of places to eat too. I would highly recommend this place as it is in walking distant to everything you need and want.

Highly recommend this great find in Marigny! Lovely “shotgun” home in very convenient and nice section of Marigny close to French quarter. Very comfortable king sized bed, washer/dryer worked perfectly , fully stocked kitchen and easy lounging living room. Hot tub is amazing and had a few cooler nights so were able to use it! Ron is an exceptional host. Extremely welcoming, friendly and responsive and lives right next door. Would stay here again!

We loved the location, the courtyard, the hot tub and all of the host recommendations.

This is our second stay at Ron and Mark's awesome rental. My husband and I attended the French Quarter Festival for the first time this year. Everything was within walking distance of the rental. It was a fantastic time. At the end of each day of walking, eating, and listening to the awesome musicians, we headed back to the room and soaked in the jacuzzi. As usual we were greeted by Ron when we first arrived. I love our conversations with him. He meets with us before he hit the road going home. It's as if we have a family member seeing us on our way. If you want a very nice, beautifully designed, relaxing home within walking distance of all things French Quarter, check them out. Just don't book it when we plan to return!

Clean place. Nice hot tub. Cute outdoor area.

My husband and I were very happy with the unit and our hosts. The unit was unique, charming, and immaculate; and the bed was very comfortable. We loved the location. It provided the charm of historic New Orleans without the hustle and bustle of the French Quarter. The hosts were warm, friendly, and accommodating. We would stay again, and highly recommend it.

Great location. Had what we needed & the hosts were very sweet.

The house is really pretty and Mr.Ron is very nice and welcoming. They also have hot tube in the house and we really enjoyed it. Mr. Ron will guid on the places to go and to avoid.

Super amazing place!! House was perfect for the two of us, everyone nearby was super friendly, random walking parades rolled by almost every day. Super short walk to the quarter for mardi gras festivities. Highly recommend!!!

Location was great and in walking distance to so many attractions. Ron welcomed us at the door and gave a bit of history on the property. Overall the stay was great and bed was super comfortable.

The hosts were the BEST as were the amenities!

Ron was great. We loved the story of his home. The home itself was incredibly comfortable. It is a close walk down to the French Quarter, but far enough to be quiet at night if you’re not into the loud nightlife.

Ron and Mark are incredible hosts! This is a beautiful house and very comfortable. I loved the hot tub/garden area, and the fun decor. This is a great location & overall stay!

This is a wonderful place close to the music on Frenchmen Street. It is a beautiful house on a quiet street. It met all our needs, hope to be back.

We are repeat customers. The location is the place to be. The rental unit is roomy, comfortable, and overall outstanding. Most important was the hospitality of the owners, Ron and Mark, two outstanding folks. The weather was super cold. Ron asked if we needed to borrow a coat and hat. That is the type of hospitality which says that we were treated like family. Thanks for your generous hospitality.

Great location, funky & unique design, hot tub perfect for chilly January nights.

The property is excellent. It is thoughtfully laid out, with solid beautiful furnishings and amenities. The hot tub was fantastic. Even jets for feet! Ron is so welcoming and helpful. The location is within walking distance to so much and we always found parking with a block. Also it is quiet and restful - great bed and quiet neighborhood. There is an armoire for hanging clothes and a dresser. Great seating and many areas to store your bags etc as well as a nice eating area. Full size fridge, toaster oven, coffee and tea making abilities, full gas stove and good pots and pans and knives if you’d like to cook. Would be lucky to stay here again’

Everything was amazing! This was my second stay at this property and I can’t wait to return. Location is perfect and the hosts go out of their way to make you feel at home and ensure your stay if prefect.

Truly a please to stay here! The hosts are thoughtful, communicative and thorough - you’re in great hands there and the place is very thoughtfully appointedThe place is exactly what you would want and need for a solo trip, a vacation with your loved one or for a small family or couple of friends. Great location, with so so much nearby. It was close enough to everything that if we were out walking around in the French Quarter, we could drop back for a minute to grab something and then head right back out without missing a beat.You’ll be pleased!

What an amazing stay! The hosts were so welcoming. Ron gave us a fascinating and informative introduction to the city and was very attentive to our needs. We really felt like locals while we were there, and can't recommend this place enough. What a delight!

This was our third time staying in Ron and Mark’s lovely home and it never disappoints us! The super comfortable bed, thoughtful amenities, and perfect location are reason enough, but we keep coming back because Ron is such a wonderful host!

Ron and Mark are excellent hosts, we always appreciate the face to face check in and check out process. This is our favorite place to come stay while visiting New Orleans, the space has everything you need and the backyard space with the hot tub is a perfect escape in the fall and winter!!

Absolutely wonderful stay! Ron is a great host. The history of the house is fascinating. Loved the house. Plenty of room. Bed is very comfortable. And the hot tub was awesome. 10/10. Highly recommend . Will definitely return when in NOLA

Amazing house and the the hosts care about their house more than anyone in historyJust be aware that during check-in, there will be a talk with the host where he will go over the history of the house, the neighborhood and his life story in addition to the rules of the house. Overall it’s very informative and interestingHowever, this talk can take 75-90 mins so if you are hungry or need to be somewhere, make sure you mention that first before the chat. Also there aren’t any condiments so if you have leftovers or something make sure to ask for condiments from the restaurant Amazing place and we’ll be back!

Ron (and his place) is amazing! He was friendly, informative and great with communication. The location is FANTASTIC (if you like the Frenchman area), and the bed is AMAZING.

Whole experience was wonderful! Great host, great place and great location

This was an amazing place to stay. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and beautifully decorated. The patio and hottub were a plus. Great location too! There is a super nice grocery store neaby and the French quarter was a short walk away. Easy access to the street cars as well. Ron was an amazing host. Great commication and a wealth of local knowledge! 10 out of 10 would stay here again!

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our first tip to New Orleans and I'm sure we will come back. I would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay here the place was cozy, clean and comfortable. We were able to walk to pretty much anywhere we wanted to go from here and our host made our trip so much easier by giving us recommendations on places to go and also places to avoid. All in all our experience was a 10/10!! And we’ll definitely be back!

The house was great and had a lot of character and charm. The bed was very comfortable. The hosts Ron and Mark were very friendly and upon checking Mark spent an hour and a half with us giving us recommendations. The location was extremely convenient to the French Quarter and Frenchman Street. They had amazing A/C, important for us Californians not used to the humidity! We would definitely stay here again!

Our stay was phenomenal. Ron was a great host. He met us at the property, gave us a history of the home and the location as well as some great insights to the area. We could not have asked for a better host. The home itself was perfect for what we were looking for. We loved the hot tub and the ambience of the home was fun, rich in history and art and a wonderful time.

We had a wonderful stay. Ron was a great host. We communicated well. He gave great recommendations for restaurants and places to see. The house was very nice, very clean. The Hot Tub was relaxing. We would definitely recommend staying here.

My brother and I loved our stay here! This place is a rare gem of unique New Orleans flare and local color. (Completely *opposite* of many bland, neutral corporate cookie-cutter rentals available now.) Fun colors and impressive Mardi Gras regalia decorate the dining room and kitchen areas. Huge bed in center room is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Pull-out sofa bed in living room is also very comfortable. The iconic shotgun layout suited us just fine. There are big sliding pocket doors between the two sleeping areas. There is a full kitchen, a cute bathroom with walk-in shower, a lovely round dining table that seats 4, even a stackable washer & dryer. The outdoor space in back off the kitchen is a burst of tropical colors and plants-- with seating and a very nice hot tub. Furnishings in the home include carefully curated antiques, fine bed linens, modern lamps, and tasteful art. Location was perfect. We found free street parking right in front of the house. The owners live right next door, and Ron was a delight to work with. Highly recommend, and we hope to be back!

Ron is an excellent host. The house is perfect for a visiting couple. It's a short walk to both Frenchman street and The French Quarter/Bourbon.

The owners of this rental thought of everything. My husband and I love to attend the Satchmo Festival and this location made this experience so easy. We could walk to every event eith ease. The host Ron communicated with us up until we arrived. He provided a tour of the beautiful home. The home had the most comfortable bed ever! There was a relaxing jacuzzi that we took advantage of after all of the walking. This rental was so impressive we booked it again for a visit in 2026. You should check them out. You won't be disappointed.

Everything was great!

We had a great place to stay. The place was clean and unique! It was within walking distances to most cool spot.

Amazing space and Ron couldn't have been nicer. Bed was super comfortable! Highly recommend!

Ron and Mark are so kind! We loved the outside area and the large king bed, it was the perfect spot for our vacation and very close to Frenchman. Would highly recommend!

My partner and I were visiting New Orleans for the first time this past week. Ron's VRBO was perfect and felt very personalized and curated in the best way possible.When we got there, Ron gave us his recommendations and areas that he recommends. Along with this, we were given a history of the house, which was honestly really interesting.Also, they legitimately have the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. It's ruined my bed at home forever. I can't recommend this place enough!

Great location, wonderful hosts and a perfect layout. My long time dear travel friend and I were here for a girl's trip M-F and had a great time. Ron shared lots of valuable info with us that greatly enhanced our stay. We'd definitely recommend a stay here!

Looking forward to returning! The house is beautiful and comfortable.

Thanks to our kind hosts Ron and Mark!This place was in a historic neighborhood within walking distance to Frenchman and Bourbon Street. We got a briefing from Ron upon arrival which was great for us first timers.

This was my friend and I's first venture to New Orleans and we are SO glad we booked this home. Not only was Ron friendly and hospitable, he was also extremely knowledgable. I really appreciated all of his insight and tips for venturing into the French Quarter and I really enjoyed learning about the history of the home. Him and Mark truly helped make our first visit a wonderful memory. We'll definitely book again the next time we visit.Thank you Ron and Mark!! :)

My sisters, mother, and I truly loved our stay at this unique, authentic, and well-loved space. Ron was a gracious and very informative host who gave us such wonderful suggestions of places to go in New Orleans. Truly a real living like a local experience.

We loved our time in NOLA, and a big portion of that was due to our stay. Ron and Mark's home was perfect. Comfy bed, very clean, stocked kitchen, great back yard, prime location and truly gracious hosts. It's clear that they have have put a lot of hard work and love into their home. We loved getting to know them and were grateful for the conversations we had and the history we learned from them.

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful home for three nights while visiting New Orleans and it truly did not disappoint!! From our first interaction with Ron upon arrival until we left with hugs and beautiful beaded necklaces, we had a fantastic stay. The unique home is so eclectically decorated, there is always something new to discover. The mattress is very soft and comfortable with extremely plush linens. Yes, I had to use the small steps to get into the bed (I’m 5’2”) but it was like sleeping on a cloud! The bathroom is small but had everything we needed. The kitchen was well appointed and we loved the hot tub! And the location was perfect for walking the streets of New Orleans. We walked everywhere we went except for the one day it rained. We quickly realized our 3 days in NOLA weren’t enough so we will be coming back…and we will definitely make plans to stay with Ron and Mark again!!

We enjoyed our stay in the unique and historic home. It was very comfortable. We liked the ability to cook some of our meals and sit outside.The owners, Ron and Mark, went above and beyond in their hospitality. Ron met us and provided us with information not only about the house but the history of the neighborhood. He had recommendations on where to eat and suggestions on places to visit.The location is within easy walking distance of the French Quarter and Frenchmen Street. We listened to music every night on Frenchmen. There is a nice grocery store within three or four blocks and the bus line is close.There was coffee and tea provided along with a few staples like olive oil, salt and pepper.The ONLY caution we might have is that the bed is high. There are steps provided but if one has a mobility issue this might be a problem. With that being said, the bed was VERY comfortable. We had no problem getting in and out and we are in our sixties.We stayed for five nights. We highly recommend this property and can not say enough good things about it or the proprietors.

Lovely space in a great location for music and food in New Orleans. Feels like you moved into the neighborhood. Walk everywhere. Great bed and hot tub!

If you're into staying in a real New Orleans neighborhood, close to everything that's necessary, this place is for you! We loved the historic building and its furnishings, and the welcome from our hosts. The Hot Tub is a big plus, after a big day of walking and Second Lining, dancing and exploring New Orleans. Special thanks to Mark and Ron for the TLC, like walking me to the grocery store upon my arrival when I was VERY hungry for Gumbo and VERY tired from traveling. Great hospitality!

We have stayed here at least a half dozen times over the past 12 years. The accommodations started out great, and have continued to get better year after year. Mark and Ron are extraordinary hosts, and consider every detail. We love our time spent here.

The home is an old shotgun house, lovingly maintained and beautifully decorated. It’s a short walk to a large grocery store and drug store. A 15 minute walk to the French quarter and some great jazz clubs on Frenchman Street. The hot tub wonderful addition. We really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely place with beautiful art and furnishings. Great location and very nice host.

Wonderful hospitality! Gave us great tips and information starting out. Was able to call and ask questions and we’re always very swift in responding back. A snow storm hit and they were kind enough to let us stay free one extra day due to the circumstances. Need I say more? If you want to know you are taken care of and will have a great trip book here!

We spent 4 nights & everything was wonderful!

Ron was extremely hospitable, kind and helpful. We were greeted upon arrival and given valuable insight and resources to make the most of our visit. Very cozy and cool place to stay. The hosts truly do think of everything to make their guests comfortable and it was so greatly appreciated. The time Ron took to walk us through any questions was something that I have never gained from a host. Location is absolutely perfect! Would 100% recommend.

This lovely home-away-from-home on a quiet street had everything we needed and so much more that we didn't take advantage of. My husband and I were in town for 3 days and 4 nights. Hosts Ron and Mark kept in touch to meet us, give us the rundown on the home and the neighborhood and were always available by text to answer any questions and give updates. The gorgeous, extremely comfortable home had plenty of cozy seating, a great king bed, full kitchen and bathroom, washer/dryer and a generous outside courtyard and hot tub. Embarrassingly, we were so busy in town that we never took advantage of so much of this. I especially regret not relaxing in the lush plant-filled courtyard. We easily walked to the French Quarter and caught a rideshare when we were venturing further. We definitely lived like a local, lacking nothing in this home and hope to call it home again on our next trip to NOLA. Thank you Ron and Mark for welcoming us so warmly!

We are frequent visitors to New Orleans, and this was our second time to stay here. The apartment is clean, well-appointed, and the bed is exceptionally comfortable. Ron and Mark are excellent hosts. Their attention to the smallest details make each visit special.

We loved staying at this VRBO! The house is in a convenient location and they provide excellent recommendations for places to eat or things to do. For folks going in winter, the small heaters they have in each room work great for keeping the space warm, and the window ACs were excellent on the one warm day we had. It’s a beautiful space and the back yard and hot tub are a perfect oasis to feel immersed in the city and feel private and protected. The kitchen has all the things you need for preparing a meal, although you likely won’t need to. The tea varieties on offer and easy hot water were extra lovely for us. Truly a great way to experience regular local life and walkable destinations.

We had a fabulous stay at Ron’s! He was a wonderful host. Gave us a tour and history of the home, and recommendations for the best spots to try (and where to avoid!). The location was perfect to walk downtown, to get to Frenchmen St, Bourbon St, or Royal St. I would 100% stay here again!

What an awesome place to stay. Upon checking in Ron met with us and gave us a tour of the property and gave us the history of the home. It’s pretty cool getting to stay in a home that is over 200 years old. The home is kept very clean. It was the perfect place to stay for our anniversary. We walked just about everywhere we went so staying here puts you close by everything. When we come back to New Orleans we will check availability here first. Thanks for being amazing host.

Ron and Mark were excellent hosts! Had tons of recommendations and were very helpful with whatever we needed. House was in a great location. Would highly recommend!

The house is beautiful and you cannot beat the location. Ron and Mark give a great rundown of things to do, places to eat and ways to maximize your stay. Could not have been more pleased. Highly recommend.

The house was clean, cozy & cool. The backyard was a little piece of heaven, so relaxing. Ron & Mark were incredibly warm & welcoming. They were so helpful with suggestions on things to do & places to eat. We will definitely stay with them again.

My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in New Orleans. This listing caught my eye because of the amazing vintage decor and private patio with hot tub. Ron met us when we arrived and showed us around the amazing property. Ron gave us history of their Creole cottage. A card and bouquet of flowers greeted us for our anniversary. Talk about thoughtful, it was above and beyond. You can walk to so many areas and we always felt safe. They left us maps and restaurant suggestions. Bed was very comfortable. Kitchen had everything you would need. The cottage was spotless and cozy. My husband loved the history books you could read in your spare time. We hope to stay here in 2025 when we bring our friend to visit the area.
