Guesthouse in Marigny
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 158 reviewsJust steps to both Frenchman St & French Quarter!
Perfect cottage for a small group or family. This was my second time staying and will definitely be back. Within walking distance of plenty of restaurants, music venues, things to do, while remaining in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood. Also, don’t miss the amazing bakery a short walk away!
Condo in Algiers Point

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 262 reviewsGorgeous Renovated Victorian Near French Quarter
We loved our stay at Benjamin’s place!! What especially stood out was the heating system and how comfortable all the beds were. We liked the charm of the long hallway and the bedrooms being all very private. The decor was very cute. Also the neighborhood was awesome!! We met so many locals and if you get a chance PLEASE try the smoker truck that parks within a block or two of this house. BEST pork chop sandwich I’ve ever had. Yes you read that right pork chop sandwich! Thank you for a fantastic stay in an amazing city.
Condo in Central Business District
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 201 reviewsPool, Hot Tubs, & Style Near French Qtr - 4BR/4BA
The Natchez was a wonderful place to stay, it was perfect for our group. It was very close to the French Quarters and walkable. They were very proactive in communicating with me prior to our arrival to let me know that the central heat wasn’t working. They tried to fix the issue before our arrival but it required a new part. They apologized and even gave me a discount, which was unexpected but very much appreciated. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend this place to others.
Home in Bywater District
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 106 reviewsLarge Chic Modern / 2.5 Miles from FQ!
Robin was very responsive when i had any questions. The home was absolutely beautiful. From the entrance, to the high ceilings and the beautiful dining room. We drank our coffee every morning on the large backyard deck. Ive stayed at alot of airbnb's and this home was by far the best!!! I will definitely pick this home again on my next trip to nola!
Cottage in Central City - Garden District
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 255 reviewsUptown Creole Bungalow, Perfect Super Bowl Spot!
Great location! Walked to Magazine street and ate at Joey K’s and Slim Goodies Diner, both were fabulous! Walked to St. Charles for drinks at The Chloe. The reason for our visit was The Radiators at Tipitina’s, which was close by. Nicki’s place was fabulous. The heated bathroom floor was such a great. (And there was another bathroom!). Will definitely be back.
Apartment in Marigny
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 126 reviewsEnglish Manor | Family Friendly | Walk Everywhere
Location, location, location! Sarah and Alleshia's place was perfect for our group of 7 friends, who have traveled together for almost 40 years! Marigny is the place to be: We loved walking around the neighborhood, and nearby restaurants (like Ruby Slipper across the street and Ike's Love and Sandwiches down the block) were delicious. Beds were comfortable, common areas were conducive to visiting, and kitchen had all that was needed. (TBH, who's cooking at home when you're in NOLA?!?) Best was how immediately responsive and helpful Alleshia was. The weekend before the January 22 snow-pocalypse was pretty bitter cold, and when we asked for a few extra blankets, there they were, delivered before we got back from the day's excursion. Thank you so much, Alleshia, for everything you did to make our time in NOLA wonderful!
Home in Marigny
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 210 reviewsMarigny Manor Near French Quarter, 5-Star Rating
Our group of five old college friends could not have been happier with our stay. The house was perfect for us, with appropriate sleeping space, comfortable common areas, and a lovely back yard. Everything was as advertised. The Marigny and Bywater are two of my favorite neighborhoods in NOLA, so the locations was great, and it's easy walking distance to Frenchman's St. and the French Quarter (but also removed from the action a bit). And Franz and Tracy were simply the best - great communicators and incredibly generous and flexible.

I really enjoyed my stay. Easy check in instructions. Very quiet neighborhood and extremely cozy home. I walked everyday I was there, it’s very walkable to many of great spots in New Orleans. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Home in Central City - Garden District
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 299 reviewsHeart Of New Orleans • Family Friendly • Historic
I stayed for two weeks and found the house to be SO comfortable! It is just as charming as it looks in the photos. The neighborhood is only okay ambience-wise, but you can’t beat its convenient location. Just a couple of blocks to the St. Charles street car or the 91 bus. Nearby restaurants that we’d recommend: Avenue Cafe, Hi-Velocity, Mais Arepa, Gris-Gris and Hot Tin! Take the street car to The Columns Hotel, Chloe or Commander’s Palace
Home in Chalmette
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 116 reviewsOak Cottage 15 min. to French Quarter 2 bed/1bath
Robin is an amazing host! She reached out to us with places in the area to eat, etc. She also checked in on us when we had to extend our stay due to the epic snowstorm! She made sure we had what we needed. I would recommend her place and her as a host to anyone.

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 179 reviewsPerfect Family Getaway off Freret w/Saltwater Pool
We enjoyed our stay so much! It was perfect weather and a perfect space for our family to connect and celebrate my birthday! There is so much around the neighborhood to do, shop and explore. Getting to places was easy because of connections with a great taxi guy right off the get go. We enjoyed the neighborhood very much. We felt totally at ease and comfortable in the home. Thank you so much.

5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviewsPelican Pier Beach House on Lake Catherine
Look no further if you are searching for a lake home in New Orleans. We rented 4 homes for our extended family holiday on lake Catherine and this one is by far the best and became the family gathering spot. Highlights are the best pier (connected to the homes lighted, safe railing) best amenities (fishing poles, crab traps, Kayaks, yard games, etc) best outdoor space (awesome patio furniture and deck overlooking the lake, lots of tables and chairs underneath the home for large gatherings, ice machine, several coolers, elevator for brining up supplies), comfy indoor space and great kitchen!! This place has far more than advertised and the host is amazing!! Close enough for nights out in the city but a world away for peaceful lake vibes! Will definitely be back!

The house was amazing! The view of the back was beautiful! The swing was the best part while getting some breeze outside. When I had a question I got a response really quick, which was great. The house had so many board games for my kids to play with. They never got bored. It was a new experience for us and we really loved it. If you’re wondering if it’s worth it yes it’s worth it!

5 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviewsWaterfront Home in New Orleans
The location is gorgeous. Out of the hustle and bustle of the town. The location offers the option of going north to Slidell, if you want to restock or explore an area less busy than New Orleans. The beds were comfortable, the home was roomy, everything was clean and well stocked. We felt right at home. Sunsets are amazing, and we opted to leave the blinds open all day and night to enjoy the surroundings. As far as the host, Sharon was great. We had a small issue arise and she immediately addressed it. She’s very friendly and helpful. Thank you for sharing your lovely property with us!

This is a fantastic find near Saint Charles Avenue in New Orleans. It’s perfect for a singleton or a couple. The location could not be better for visiting friends Uptown, hopping the trolly to the quarter, or taking a quick walk to Magazine street to do some damage. The unit is very cute, well maintained, and has everything you need for a great visit.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this place and both times have been absolutely amazing. Middle distance from Canal and the French Quarter so it’s a great location. Everything about it is good. The only downside we had to this day was it was quite dirty behind the beds so when the pillows fell down there, they got a lot of dirt on them. Other than that, it was great.

Owen's Airbnb is the most beautiful one we've ever rented -- and we've stayed many great places! It's absolutely gorgeous and the neighborhood is ideal, both peaceful and close to restaurants, with easy public transportation to other parts of the city. Owen was communicative and accommodating; his recommendations were also excellent!

Christopher's house was by far the best airbnb I stayed at in New Orleans. His house is extremely well located (a few blocks away from Frenchman street and the French quarter), well decorated/homy, clean and spacious. It's worth it if you have enough guests to fill in every room. Communication was also very good, he always answered to my messages within a few minutes and he was very accommodating.

Your guide to New Orleans
Introduction
New Orleans offers a round-the-clock festive spirit 12 months a year. Live music, particularly jazz, rings through streets lined with buildings dating back to the early 1800s. That’s when the city’s trademark Creole architecture, a mix of influences from the French, Spanish, and Caribbean was developed, adding a distinctly New Orleans touch. While the lively French Quarter gets all the attention, also explore the Marigny and Bywater, which have a more artsy vibe, and Audubon — surrounding Audubon Park — which is known as the University District thanks to Tulane and Loyola Universities. If you’re looking to visit more of the New Orleans metro area, Metairie is just to the northwest, Chalmette about 10 miles east, and Slidell about 34 miles northeast.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in New Orleans
February through May is prime time to stay in one of NoLA’s vacation rentals, when highs are in the mid-60s to mid-80s Fahrenheit and lows hover between the 50s to 70s — it’s also perfectly timed to celebrations such as Mardi Gras and the French Quarter Festival. December and January are also pleasant months — with the bonus of fewer crowds — when highs are in the 60s and lows typically don't fall below the mid-40s. Summer and fall can be more challenging, as stifling heat, mixed with humidity, reaches the 90s. June usually has the highest precipitation, and hurricane season lasts from June through November.
Top things to do in New Orleans
French Quarter
The legendary Bourbon Street is the most popular street in this historic neighborhood, and indulgence is a way of life here. But the district is also known for its majestic Jackson Square (where local artisans often display their work in an open-air market), jazz clubs, steamboat cruises, and fresh beignets with chicory coffee.
Garden District
A streetcar ride away from the French Quarter is a visual juxtaposition to the French Quarter — a chill suburban neighborhood dominated by grand mansions. Also stop at Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, which houses the tombs of early settlers from Ireland and Germany, or opt for one of the city’s cemetery tours to learn more about the history of this great city.
Mardi Gras World
Experience New Orleans’ most famous festival any time of year at this facility, where 80 percent of the Mardi Gras floats are built.
