My stay this year during jazz fest was the lovely ursuline suite. The location is so convenient...no more than 3 miles to most restaurants and music venues...in a lovely neighborhood.
The place is wonderful...high ceilings make it seem even more spacious. Everything you need to prepare simple meals or warm up leftovers....all modern conveniences...wi-fi and satellite tv...the lovely and private back courtyard........the washer and dryer so you don't take home a suitcase full of dirty clothes.
This was my first visit...but definitely not my last.....I would recommend it to all my friends who visit new orleans but since we tend to come at the same times, I'll keep it to myself.
Treat yourself to this amazing place the next time you visit new orleans...and you'll become a confirmed fan as well.
Also, your host, Cynthia and her daughter Kerry are willing to help you make your visit a more memorable one. |

| My friend and I stayed at this wonderful apartment for one week, earlier this month. I can honestly say that this is one of the loveliest vacation rentals I've ever been fortunate to stay in. It was beautifully and tastefully decorated and had every possible amenity, including lovely bath products! The bathroom has inspired my travel companion to change her plans for her upcoming bathroom renos (it is that cute). The courtyard is a peaceful and relaxing retreat from the excitement of New Orleans, full of tropical plants, chirping birds and even the ocassional tiny green lizard. The burbling fountain and flowers charm and nurture. There is not one discouraging word I have to say about this property and its warm, welcoming owner. Don't miss out! |

The room exceeded my expectations and the courtyard was fabulous with spring flowers. Very quiet, relaxing and extra special. A good place to unwind.
I especially enjoyed reading Cynthia's books on New Orleans and particularly "The Homes of St. Charles Ave. |

My wife and I had a wonderful stay in the Ursuline Suite and we think about it and about New Orleans often. The apartment and its neighbourhood views, balconies and courtyard are charming, and we really felt at home there. It is simply and beautifully decorated, and the whole experience there was wonderful.
We loved the neighbourhood, its lovely architecture and people, and particularly enjoyed the short walk across to the cafés, restaurants and parks nearby on Esplanade Ave – not to mention the local flavour of the nearly-next-door grocery store, its proprietors, locals and its unmissable shrimp Po Boys!
We highly recommend booking a stay at the Ursuline Suite for a genuine taste of New Orleans. Its charm, comfort, location, great price (not to mention Cynthia, our friendly and helpful proprietor) helped to make our holiday in New Orleans even lovelier.

I highly recommend staying at this guest house. The
owners are sweet and anticipated any need I might
have had. The accommodations are extremely
comfortable, charming and welcoming. I can't wait to
return to the relaxation of sitting in the courtyard with
the smell of gardenias in the air! |

| We stayed here for a Jazz Fest weekend and it was just perfect. We felt so at home and comfortable, it was SO much better than staying in a hotel. There were books on New Orleans to read and maps to local restaurants and bars, just above and beyond any hotel - there was really a personal touch. The house is charming and beautifully decorated! There were two couples in our party - we stayed there comfortably and we had our privacy. Whenever we go back to New Orleans this is our place of choice, I can't recommend it enough! |

| My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We had peace and quiet in a private residence which exceeded our expectations. The hostess made sure all our needs were met without asking. The suite was immaculate and everything we needed was there with many thoughtful extras provided by the owner. This place had true southern charm. The private garden court in the back was a beautiful spot to sip our morning coffee in a tranquil setting. We felt very safe in the neighborhood and would definitely return here again. |
