We came to town for my daughter’s wedding, and we were delighted with The Byrnes House. Spacious rooms and comfortable furnishings were perfect for family to gather. The space easily accommodated the bride, mother of the bride and ten bridesmaids getting ready on the day of the wedding. We especially appreciated the beautiful natural light from the large windows, and the many mirrors throughout the home. The natural beauty of the house was perfect for photos of the bride and wedding party. The kitchen was well appointed making it easy to provide snacks and meals throughout our stay. The location was awesome to catch some Mardi Gras parades during our stay, and convenient to great shops and restaurants. The owner was easy to contact and responsive to our questions. I would definitely stay at this property again!

The house overall was charming. Lots of unique and a few quirky qualities that come from being built over a century ago - for us, part of the fun. Kitchen has been updated and was well appointed, which was important to us as we were traveling with family. The location was fantastic. Quick walk to Magazine with lots of restaurants and shops. Also a quick drive to the French Quarter.

The house is better than the photos really show. It was more spacious then I expected. The location is fantastic. We walked to the street car daily for easy transportation. We walked easily to magazine street. The owners were responsive. Parking availability is a plus. All ages had a great time. Our group of 6 ranged from 11-45 an there were more than enough beds. Someone with mobility difficulties might have trouble with stairs. There was plenty of space to spread out. Linens were fantastic. Laundry availability a plus. Well stocked for toiletries made it much easier for travel. It felt like a vacation.

Lovely historic home with amazing curb appeal in the lower Garden District! Location is wonderful - just a few blocks to Commander's Palace and the Garden District home tours. The kitchen is well-stocked, with everything needed to cook a feast. David, the owner, is extremely responsive to even the smallest (and biggest) requests! All in all, a fabulous visit!!

Bring the family and enjoy a home away from home. Great location close to the trolley line and yet far enough way from things that you can relax and enjoy the splendor of Old New Orleans. And the host is easily accessible and responsive.

We were in NOLA for our daughters wedding. The house was amazing and Dave (owner) was so accommodating. We hosted a luncheon after and the house was alive with 36 people who loved the experience. We decorated for Halloween since it was that weekend, and it was perfect. Very comfortable and kitchen well stocked. Just perfect.
