Perfect for 4 adults
We loved our time in the Chartes Street Cottage. We were able to make the walk to the French Quarter in 15-20 minutes and really used the car pretty minimally. With our stay in March, it was wonderful to just sit out on the porch and relax. The pizza place down about two blocks was wonderful for our first night in and gave us a quick feel for the local flavor.
The bathroom lock and squeaky 1st bedroom door were our only real points to fix and they may be fixed by now. The shower/bathroom worked fine for us, but it is a small shower. The property was clean and Jim was quick to respond to any questions or offer suggestions for the local area. We felt safe and secure at all times although I wouldn't recommend walking back later at night. Ask Jim about the local grocery. We didn't find it until right before we left and wished we had checked it out earlier. It looked like a hole in the wall, but we were amazed at the selections available.
We'd definitely consider staying again if we return with only 4 adults.

True New Orleans Style
We stayed here during the Women's Final Four Tournament and it turned out to be a great choice. Having never been to New Orleans we weren't that familiar with the area and what to expect. We were just blocks away from the French Quarter but still in an area that felt like Old New Orleans. Jim was very helpful when we arrived by getting us oriented and gave us tips on where to eat and buy groceries. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Thanks for a wonderful experience.

Our Place in NOLA
Even though the weather was inclement, the accommodations were delightful and our stay at the Chartres Street Cottage was wonderful. Plenty of room for everyone and the covered porch helped us enjoy outdoors despite the rain. Jim was there to welcome us and answer any questions. He's great!
The neighborhood is wonderful and offers a feel of the less touristy part of New Orleans. The residents of Bywater are friendly and nearby restaurants good.
At the Cottage, the beds were comfortable and the cottage is large. If you are wondering about the bathroom (since it isn't photographed) it is small but freshly finished and accommodating. Four adults and a toddler had no trouble sharing. There is a front room that remains underutilized. Perhaps a writing desk would be useful for longer stays. Off street parking is a big plus. We were really happy to have a retreat a bit away from the Quarter, but still amid the wonderful old New Orleans. All in all, we left with smiles on our faces that still arise when we have thoughts of our little cottage in the Bywater. Coming again soon, for a longer stay.

Fantastic historic cottage in New Orleans
This is a gem of a property. It has great decor, Doug and Jim who manage it are really pleasant and helpful, the aircon was great! The beds were really comfortable and of beautiful high quality. The porch and yard area were fantastic, secluded and peaceful. Nice shower too!
There was a bit of an issue for us with mosquitos, but I think Jim normally has a way of keeping hem down (and they weren't too much of a problem - at the end of the day, staying anywhere in NOLA is likely to have a similar issue., with the warm humid climate).
It is located in Marigny Bywater, and we could walk to the centre of the French quarter in about 20 minutes, with a bit less to brilliant Frenchmen Street with it's small music clubs. We were happy to walk, but it's a short taxi ride if you prefer.
Marigny is a cool area on it's own, with the brilliant local restaurant Elizabeths just a block or two from the property. Would definitely stay again. Thanks.

Second Stay - Couldn't be better!
Second Stay - Couldn't be better!
Another delightful week in NOLA. We have fallen in love with our Chartres Street Cottage, and plan on making this an annual ritual. So refreshing to be able to retreat outside the French Quarter, and the neighborhood makes us feel like locals. Jim is his usual hospitable host of the finest order. Spent some time at the Country Club and Starkey's bar, and hope to try out some of the new Bywater restaurants next time around. Spent relaxing mornings at the cottage watching Olympics before heading out for touring, dining, etc. Swamp tour was fun, and we enjoyed the Mardi Gras / Katrina exhibit at the Museum. Learned to use bus transportation / taxis and didn't feel the need for a car. Would like to come during winter months, so we could enjoy the patio/garden area, which was our only regret. I can imagine how delightful that would be having morning coffee, and evening cocktails outside!
This was a girls trip - my sister and college roommate. (note - we still refer to us as girls, getting younger every day at 60+)

The Delightful Chartres St. Cottage
Recently we stayed at Chartres Street Cottage, New Orleans. I can't recommend this location strongly enough! The house itself is very spacious and clean - decorated charmingly in what we consider the NO style. The courtyard is adorable, offering the feel of residing in a forest in the middle of the city. And off-street parking a real plus.
The Bywater area was comfortable for walking day or night with many terrific bars and restaurants (the Country Club, Elizabeth's, Mimi's, Mickeys) a few minutes walk. The French Quarter is only a 15 minute jaunt.
The owners and Jim, neighboring caretaker and friend, were pleasant and so easy to work with. Our week staying in this cottage is one of the happiest trips we've taken and I suggest you decide to try this little gem yourself!

Peaceful retreat!
What a wonderful retreat! We loved the private courtyard. Location is near the Quarter and surrounded by unique shops and restaurants in the Bywater district. Lots of fun! The entire process with HomeAway and this property were great!

You will not regret staying at the cottage
Oh my goodness.....the cottage is fantastic. We stayed during the Essence Festival and the cottage was just what we needed coming in late. It offered us the privacy, security, comfort, affordability, distance from city center, etc. that we were looking for in a vacation rental. The cottage is very inviting and to be honest I didn't want to leave.
Do not allow the neighborhood to scare you. Anything can happen anywhere, but we, 4 ladies, walked this neighborhood during the day and night as we traveled back and forth to the quarter and had no problems. There are bars and restaurants all along the path and the neighborhood comes to life after dark.
The caretaker, Jim, is a gem. He is very knowledgable about the area and listen to him. This guy knows what he is talking about and knows his way around the city.
We enjoyed our stay and will be returning!!

Really Cute
A very clean and comfy cottage, very easy to navigate from. In the heat it's kind of a long walk to the French Quarter but just a short drive or cab ride. The house is as nice as the pictures, the owner very easy to work with and Jim, the backdoor neighbor, couldn't be nicer.
Try the Country Club for a nice meal if you'd like to stay in the neighborhood, the food was good and the dining rooms really pretty. I wish we had more time to try Elizabeth's, the Cake Cafe, etc. but we only had a few days.
With the privacy, the yard, secure parking, and the charm of both the neighborhood and the interior, the cottage is a bargain, a great place to stay.

Great stay in a great neighborhood
This was a wonderful spot! We would have never spent time in this neighborhood had we not rented the Cottage, and it would have been our loss. The Marigny/Bywater area is a gem!
The house was as described: two bedrooms with very comfortable beds (I looked at the brand name so I can buy one for myself); a nice kitchen; a great sitting area; and a lovely porch.
We took a cool bike tour with the Confederacy of Cruisers, which is highly recommended. There are a ton of restaurants on Frenchman Street. We went to Adolfo's - a two-hour wait, but loved it. New Orleans Cake Cafe and Bakery for breakfast and cupcakes was wonderful.
I would recommend renting a car. There is secure off-street parking.
Everything worked out perfectly. The local caretaker was very accommodating and welcoming.
