The perfect New Orleans-style getaway
Liked: I normally do not rate places 10 - but this one has earned it. It is so beautiful, there is so much love and effort put to detail.. We really enjoyed being there one rainy afternoon. it feels like home away from home so quickly. The whole family is so committed to do the maximum for their guests, and the breakfast is outstanding in quality. We can and will recommend Kate's place to everyone planning to go to New Orleans.
Disliked: Bring your earplugs, the old building has very thin walls and you can follow a conversation from your neighbor. Our fellow guests were respectful and tried to be quiet in the evenings and early mornings - but I think this is not always the case.

Liked: This is a really lovely bed and breakfast, with really nice amenities, including an in-ground pool and patio area. And I should point out that there is a daily breakfast included that goes beyond just cereal and pastries, there were egg dishes served while we were there. We got the Palmetto room which includes a private bathroom -- not sure if all rooms include that so make sure to check. The bathroom has a completely restored claw foot tub and old time shower attachment making it quite elegant. We were there over Halloween and the place remained quiet during sleeping hours despite being booked. You are ten minutes walk from the Frenchman neighborhood and there is a coffee house right around the corner as well. One of our favorite brunch spots, Horn's, is a walk away as well. The host is very responsive and quickly communicated by text when we had questions, including suggestions for places to drink and eat.
Disliked: While the tub is beautiful, it is a little slippery so be careful getting in and out. The shower water wavered from heavy to light flow, but was adequate for taking a shower, just a little slower

Great!!
Liked: We had wonderful days in the Auld Sweet Olive. It is the perfect starting point to discover New Orleans. Quiet, relaxed and family-run. Every morning there was a different delicious breakfast and the pool was refreshing on hot days. Everyone was very friendly and I would come back to the B&B anytime if I were back in New Orleans.
Disliked: Nothing!

Liked: Beautiful home and so welcoming. The pool was a plus after the long hot days. Beds super comfy and the neighborhood was quiet. Kate was amazing and made us feel right at home!! Breakfast was a plus as well. If I ever find myself in NOLA again this is where I’ll be

Mother/Daughter vacation were wonderful memories...
Liked: The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable! Beautiful antiques, wood floors and high ceilings with fans! The included breakfast was delicious and healthy every morning! The coffee and OJ were very good and Kate the property manager is so friendly, welcoming and gave us a great list of sights to see in the city! She is fantastic at her job and I highly recommend this property!
Disliked: The shower in our room was very small but the water was hot and it was a well stocked bathroom with fluffy white towels, a hairdryer, soap and shampoo/conditioner!

A REAL neighborhood, just far...
Liked: We enjoyed our balcony apartment very much, with its lovely seated area, hammock and view of the pool/ well kept gardens. The neighborhood is filled with creole cottages, it was peaceful, friendly and a stones throw from Frenchman and great local places to eat. The host Kate makes amazing breakfasts and has lots of really helpful info, the main house is beautifully kept and the owners dad Steve is friendly too. There’s a cooperative food store and Marie’s Bar with the Slap Burger 2 mins walk away, two great Thai restaurants 10 mins walk. Really happy we chose this B&B for Jazz Fest, we met lovely guests staying there and had great chats over breakfast. Definitely recommended.
Disliked: We liked everything about our stay!
