NEW ORLEANS ! BEAUTIFUL, SECURE, GREAT LOCATION, BY LAKE PONCHATRAIN! AMENITIES!

Joe is the best host ever! My daughter was on a hospital rotation in N.O. for a month, and I was worried about a safe place to stay. Joe met us at check-in, gave us a tour of the property, and showed us the gated entry/exit, secure access to elevators/stairs, and the best place to catch the sunset. He also checked in periodically to make sure we had everything we needed. It's a very safe place within a short walking distance of restaurants, biking/jogging trails, and the lake and a short drive to N.O.'s attractions. We loved the condo, the pool area/vegetation, and our time here! Next time we're back in the area, we will definitely stay here again!!

Unit was great! Complex was great! Location was great! Joseph was great and extremely helpful! Would definitely recommend and we hope to stay there again!

First things first... Joe was amazing. He was so helpful and informative. The perfect host. His place was so well kept and well stocked that we didn’t need anything! Although if we did, he made it very clear that he was a text or phone call away. This gorgeous condo is just a quick 15 minute uber to The French Quarter or any of the popular surroundings. Which we loved because we wanted a peaceful escape should we choose. Best of all, it has at least 6 amazing restaurants for breakfast, lunch and dinner within a ten minute walk!!! Amazing experience, will definitely be hitting Joe up when we come back next!

The condo was extremely nice and very tastefully decorated. It is in a great location. Close to many restaurants, the lake and a quick ride to all the action downtown. Joe was awesome to deal with and very accommodating to our needs. We would definitely recommend this place to our friends and would stay there again.

Great gated location with covered parking. Easy access to downtown, Lake and most attractions. Bring your bikes and ride the trails near by. Owner is very helpful with everything.

This Bucktown condo is minutes from many famous local eateries. On the lakefront you can take advantage of the bike path for walks and run and enjoy food at traditional favorite restaurants like R&O's and Mr. Eds. Then New Orleans lakefront and City park are within striking distance. Other New Orleans locations are 10 minutes by vehicle. The complex is very secure with a great pool deck. The condo is very inviting and has all the necessary amenities. My three week stay was comfortable. The area is quiet and a perfect respite between other more adventurous activity. Pet friendly and lots of walking locations for humans and K-9's. I strongly recommend this for any person or couple for a stay in the New Orleans area.

I'm a native New Orleanian who moved away years ago. I wanted to have a vacation back home with my husband and kids, and this was the perfect place for it. For me, the best thing about the condo was the location. It's right on the lake (that being Lake Pontchartrain), in Bucktown, a good hometown neighborhood just over the Orleans parish line (meaning right on the edge of the city limits). There are some really good local seafood restaurants and markets in the neighborhood (R&O's, Deanie's), and within a 5-10 minute drive of the condo (Landry's, The Blue Crab). There are also walking and bike paths right across the street, as well as Lakeshore Drive and the marina just a few minutes away- perfect for a sunset drive, walk or sail on the lake. The condo itself has lovely garden landscaping with palm trees and native plants, as well as a pool, so you can relax and beat the New Orleans summer heat. There is also a grill and a cabana house for guests' use. You feel like you can really get away from it all and be in a relaxing setting, but you're also close to it all: First off, there are all the amenities you could wish for in the neighborhood: grocery stores, drug stores, restaurants, etc. Secondly, you're just off Pontchartrain Blvd/ West End Blvd which takes you to I-10 and to most major sites and parade routes in 15-20 minutes. So you have the best of both worlds: a retreat on the lake and a convenient location. The condo has a gated covered parking area and is in a safe neighborhood. It's clean, comfortable and very tastefully decorated. The balcony has a lovely view of the pool and landscaping and a bit of the lake. The owner went to great lengths to make sure we had everything we needed to feel at home. He greeted us personally and helped us get settled in. That was real hospitality! We are a family of four, and our two children- elementary school age- slept comfortably on the large sofas and chaise lounge in the living room. We enjoyed our time here so much, and we'll definitely make this our home away from home whenever we're back 'home' in New Orleans!

The condo was extremely comfortable, sparkling clean, and beautifully decorated. I appreciated the many extras, such as the night lights, and the drink blender for healthy drinks —things I have in my own home. As I relaxed on the lovely outdoor furniture on the balcony, I enjoyed the view of the exquisitely landscaped courtyard filled with blooming flowers, a charming little water fall, and Lake Ponchartrain. Lake Ponchartain has a walking, running, and biking path that runs along the front of the condo building for us exercise lovers. The condo is located minutes from the best of dining, shopping, and all that New Orleans has to offer. Joseph, the owner, was a sheer delight. He was professional, straight forward, and honest. I will certainly recommend this condo to my family and friends. I look forward to many return visits.

My daughter and I stayed in Joe's condo for six nights and seven days. He was very responsive to my questions prior to my arrival, so much so that when he learned my daughter and I were allergic to feathers he purchased two new foam pillows for our use. Joe met me at the condo and showed me how to work the gate, the appliances and TVs. The condo is a short 20 minute drive to downtown New Orleans, via Interstate 10. The condo is located in a very secure setting with gated access, free parking in a secure garage, views of Lake Pontchartrain from the club house, and a pool and hot tub, both of which we were unable to enjoy because we spent most of our time downtown. This condo is perfect for three people and has all the amenities one needs. Although there is only one queen size bed, the chaise lounge in the living room serves as a comfortable bed alternative. My daughter said it was very comfortable. The kitchen is well-equipped and I served a roast beef dinner for four one of the nights we stayed in. Although there is no kitchen table, per se, there is enough other seating, as well as tray tables to utilize to make for a comfortable seating and eating arrangement. Joe's recommendation of Muriel's restaurant was a big hit. I wish I was able to stay longer as my son said the nearby restaurants to the condo are quite good. As my son lives in New Orleans I plan to return and will definitely stay in Joe's condo again. My experience was memorable and relaxing due in no small measure to Joe's beautiful condo and hospitality.

We visit NOLA often and value accomadtions with space, comfort, and location convenience. Joe's place was just we wanted for our long weekend visit with family. We enjoyed the outdoor accomadtions and the comfortable apartment. We would prefer though a more spacious dining area as we like to cook in (yes even in New Orleans) Joe is a delightful host and a nice person to talk with.
