Disappointment. This place needs a...
Liked: Location was very good. New Orleans was great.
Disliked: The place was dirty. The sheets in our bed were unchanged, and we had to look for clean ones late on New Year’s Eve / New Year night. There was dirt on the bathroom floor, the hot water tap in the bathroom sink was out of order, there were traces of dried menstrual blood on the toilet seat etc. etc.I have been using booking.com for 12+ years in Europe and in the US, and I have never seen sth like that. Breakfast was worse than in a typical roadside inn / motel. A huge disappointment! The fact that the owner is kind and nice does not change that.

Liked: It's a whole experience! We were welcomed by tbe host with many stories about the property and it's owner, Edgar Degas. On weekends they offer a fantastic hot breakfast, with local recipes, cooked by Billy, a kind and interesting storyteller. Even the continental breakfast served on weekedays is delicious and fresh. The house is beautiful and well located. Parking is easy. All staff were very friendly and provided local - and valuable - information for tourists.
Disliked: Cleaning is the downside. Our room was not cleaned at all in 2 out of 4 days. In another day, the room was cleaned but the used wine glasses were left behind. The heat would not regulate: After the room got too warm, we had to turn it off and wake up during the night to turn it on again (or wake up freezing the next day). On day 1, there was no remote control for the TV - we had to request it in the next day. Everyone was super friendly and tried to solve all the issues, but those seem to be simple operational problems that could have been avoided and enhance the overall experience..

Superb
Liked: We loved the house. It's a different experience compared to a hotel. We got to talk to the owner and get recommendations for sightseeing and restaurants for instance. I love chatting with the people of the place to find out more about the history of the city and the way of life of its inhabitants. The people working at the Degas House are all very friendly and efficient. Breakfast was delicious, too, with good, strong coffee and fresh fruit. Having our little Southern porch was amazing. The area is so beautiful. And we even had a parking space right in front of the house.

It was a very nice stay and the wedding was a blast! I got really sick with strep and had to leave earlier than we plann
Liked: The history of the place, close enough to all of the historical places yet far enough away from the wild downtown part
Disliked: These easy things were overlooked, lots of chandelier lights out, mismatched bulbs, IMO the place needs more ambition to keep up with the needed restoration before it gets way out of hand. Overall still. A great place in a great location!
