Octavia Street Cottage

Super-helpful host! Very reliably responsive to all our queries and requests. Excellent local recommendations. Very, very nice place, with everything we needed for our month-long stay. Great location. We definitely hope to stay again!

I came for two months to visit my children. The wee cottage was just right in every way - lovely neighborhood, totally responsive host, fabulous little courtyard and living space. If she will have me, I’d come back any time!

Amy's place was truly wonderful--quiet and cozy and in a nice neighborhood. The location was ideal--just a few blocks from Tulane and Audubon Park, as well as the bus and the streetcar. Getting into the Quarter was a breeze! Amy was a communicative and gracious host. Highly recommended--would definitely stay here again!

This was a cute, comfortable spot in my favorite neighborhood, perfect for a one month stay. Walk to the best stretch of Magazine Street and explore the city from a clean, cozy home base.

A charming well decorated cottage in a friendly and safe uptown neighbourhood. Well equipped and cool with two air conditioners. Shops and restaurants nearby and one does not really need a car, though walking is difficult in the summer months. All in all a nice choice and communication with the owner was easy and pleasant. No real complaints. You should note that to access the bathroom it is necessary for users of the sofa bed to go through the main bedroom. Recommended.

A very positive experience in all ways one would hope for

This place completely hit all marks on what i was looking for. I was looking for a 30 day rental while visiting that was in a safe area close to my mom's place near Napoleon. Amy's house is excellent for one person or a couple. There's generous space for living and even having company over. The kitchen and living room combo was great. She had all of the amenities you'd need for cooking and you can still host or watch tv. The bedroom had a very comfortable queen bed with a dresser for storage in addition to an open closet storage area right in front of the bathroom. The storage closet also had an extra set of linens for guests or if you'd like to wash the ones on the bed. The bathroom is a great space with a precious clawfoot tub. There is a washer, dryer and dish washer kindly all available for your use. Amy's property is located 4 blocks from an excellent spot on magazine where you can go to shop, get coffee, get lunch and even get groceries. Winn Dixie is three blocks in the other direction if you're looking you shop local. I really lucked out with this rental. Thanks again, Amy.

Wonderful, easy, adorable, convenient place to stay!!

We loved staying in the cottage. It was convenient to shopping and St Charles street car, also felt very safe!

Can't say enough good things about this little shotgun house - located in a neat established neighborhood with great amenities (grocery, restaurants, and more!) and in easy proximity to the Convention Center, French Quarter, and more without having to stay right in the hullabaloo or pay ridiculous hotel prices, parking, and wifi fees. The house itself is ADORABLE, furnished comfortably, and had everything we needed - comfy bed and sofa bed with plenty of quality cotton linens, fully equipped kitchen with a large dining table for working in the evening (we stayed for a conference at the convention center), an adorable bathroom and closet setup with thought to needed space for toiletries and such, plenty of good towels, an adorable screened porch and private backyard for relaxing after a long day. Felt safe in this neighborhood, and periodically left the car and Ubered to other parts of the city where parking or safety were a concern. Would DEFINITELY want to stay here again when traveling to NOLA. Amy is fantastic - communicative, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed, as well as suggestions of things to do/see, places to eat, etc! Highly recommend!!1
