There wasn't anyone to greet us, or anyone present at the property during our stay. Two days before our arrival, we received an email giving us the gate code and the door code. It couldn't have been more impersonal.
There was nobody present to help us with a television problem - or with a heater problem. It was not a B&B (Bed and Breakfast), in the traditional sense, as there was no breakfast served of any kind - so of course no opportunity to meet other guests during our stay.
We have enjoyed staying at B&B's in New Orleans for many years, but if this is how they will be now we will stay at hotels, where someone is at the \"Front Desk\" when we arrive, or available to assist us if we need anything.

Courtyard Room

Very quirky and unique accommodation. We loved staying here, it was easy walking distance from the French Quarter. The courtyard was really relaxing to sit with a coffee in the morning.
We thought it was hilarious that the main door to the Courtyard Room opened straight into the bathroom - so you'd need to be really comfortable with your travelling companion.
The area around the accommodation felt very safe and quiet.

We stayed in the quaint and quirky “Carriage House”. Architectural elements include several archways. This is a fun colorful room with Smart TV (great for your streaming services), refrigerator and microwave. The stand alone shower has a rain shower head and there is a hot tub on the back of the property. The courtyards and gardens were well cared for and replanted after NOLAs recent cold snap. A laundry on site is another great feature. Very walkable to both Frenchman Street and the Quarter.

This is a very small room so it doesn’t really have a sitting area. There is a small bistro set in the hall outside the room. A second chair would be a nice addition.

Since all other guests must walk by the door of this unit there did seem to be a lot of activity outside the door at times.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay. It was a perfect location for the Chewbucchus Parade.

Pros: Beautiful 3bed/3bath Cottage house with older New Orleans charm. Clean & spacious! Equipped with what you need. Comfy beds. Nice Hot Tub outback. Secured property with keyless entry.

Cons: Street parking was scarce. Homeless Camp less than 2 blocks down. People living in tents and broke down vehicles with stay dogs running loose.

Two night stay to experience New Orleans. B&W was only a few short blocks from Frenchman St., the river walk, market, Jackson square and fairly easy walk to Bourbon street. The property was quirky but certainly served the purpose. Bed was comfortable. Shower worked ok and had a jet tub…didn’t try. I was all set for hot tub after first day of walking about 15 miles around the sites…but it was only 1/2 full and very grungy. Outdoor seating areas were relaxing and visually pleasing. You never see anyone associated with B&W and they don’t respond to questions once you are in. Could not figure out tv to get Sunday night football or any regular programming. I would probably stay here again. Just don’t expect to get any 2 or 3 star hotel communication or services. Met other customers who left 1 & 2 days before us…no one came to check rooms or shut lights off…

We were delighted when we opened the door & saw the Courtyard. Such a beautiful place! We loved being able to walk all over & as a NOLA swing music lover the proximity to Frenchmen street was priceless. The room was beautifully decorated and adequately cooled. If we had one suggestion, it would be to have ceramic mugs for the coffee, instead of the styrofoam cups. Thank y’all so much!!

Great stay, highly recommended!
Marigny is awesome neighborhood to explore with B&W close to Frenchmen St (5 min walk) and French Quarter (15 min walk) to enjoy.
B&W was very communicative leading up to and during our stay. We had a minor issue with thermostat and they responded and fixed it right away. The property is older full of character which we like. We stayed in the Courtyard Room which was quiet and dark for good sleep coming back from night out. The drawbacks of older properties are there like plumbing and electrical is not state of the art, but tradeoff is charm and history. B&W is doing a great job here, we would definitely come back to stay here and recommend to our family/friends.

Absolutely beautiful, unique property just out of the hustle and bustle of the Quarter, but easy walking distance to all of the sights. The French Market station is a few short blocks away and gives you access to beyond the Quarter. Included were all of the usual conveniences and a super comfy bed! Our hosts had thought of everything that we might need and any questions we had were just a text away. Soaking in the hot tub after a day of sightseeing was the perfect way to end the day! Horn's - literally a few steps away - is a gem. A great spot for breakfast. The property's two courtyards are the perfect place to curl up with a good book and a latte on a lazy afternoon. We highly recommend B&W Courtyards and look forward to our next stay! Lisa and Rene - Calgary, Alberta

Loved this place. Would’ve been 5 stars but we stayed in the carriage house at the front and had a really disturbed night on the Sat/sun (until 4am) with noisy people banging doors etc - obviously nothing much the owners could’ve done about it. Also missed the breakfast which wasn’t available (good place to eat just across the road though!)

This is in a great location for New Orleans. Just across the street from a great breakfast shop, on the corner is a great local bar hang.

The apt itself is just very small. It’s best for one person or a couple that’s okay being very close for a few nights.

The bathroom unfortunately was just the size of a closet and made it very difficult to get ready in the morning or even think about shaving your legs. The stairs were uneven and felt unsafe to carry luggage up and down.

The bed was pretty nice so that saved it. And the location is the highlight.

Just know this is in the back of the property down a long shallow walkway and it’s meant for a small adult…who’s flexible.

Great place to stay

If you want to stay in a place that makes you feel like you are in New Orleans, this is it. This is an older place, which I only feel gives it the character it needs. It is also a smaller place - no big lobby, elevators or lots of people to deal with. You can park your car when you arrive and walk to anything you need (the walk might be too much for some, but we loved it). Any minor issues when had while staying there (example: needing another towel), were immediately taken care of too. We would definitely stay here again.

We liked how clean, quaint and quiet it was. It was a bit further from the French Quarter than we realized but we walked everywhere anyway. It’s very close to the lively music of Frenchmen St. and the excellent food at Paladar 511. The plumbing was good for such an old place and it’s well-maintained. The owner keeps cat food in the front entrance for the pretty but thin stray cat. We enjoyed our stay.

We had a pleasant stay at B&W Courtyard! You can tell that the houses are very old, so they do have some wear and tear on them...but it makes the stay all that more of an experience. We were also worried about finding street parking, but we had absolutely no problem. The courtyard is beautifully decorated and surprisingly quiet, considering how close you are to the hustle and bustle. We were able to walk everywhere. We tried as many of the little cafes as we could that are within about it 2 blocks of the property!

Property is definitely unique and charming. However, carriage houses are dark and rather cramped.

‘ Contactless’ I’m this case means cleaning staff only appears when someone checks out

Also, concerns about heating and cooling being affected neighbors’ thermostat were responded to first not response at all, then by polite denial. We had to figure out to modulate the thermostat according to neighbors’ settings.

The hosts should acknowledge that there is a potential heating cooling leakage situation from the neighbors unit.

THE GOOD: Bathroom clean & nice, good size refrigerator, room has a ceiling fan, love the bathroom ceiling heater, comfortable mattress, cable channels and Hulu & Netflix, cute courtyard. THE BAD: Found out AFTER the reservation was made and paid for that they were not serving breakfast (but reminded to bring a swim suit for the hot tub). The hot tub was not in working condition. Though the water temp was set on 104 it never reached 88 degrees and the chemicals were sooo strong. The decorative pillow on the bed had something crusty on it, the ceiling light was covered in cobwebs, the extra comforter had silvery-blonde long hairs on it and the condition of the wood furniture was pretty beat-up. THE ABSOLUTE WORST: I was greeted by a STARVING cat every time I entered or left my room. This cat is the courtyard pet. Its food & water bowl are located across from our room door. After 2 days of empty bowls, it was apparent that the owners were not going to feed this poor cat. I purchased cat food and gave it food and water the rest of the time I stayed there. My last day there, I opened a cabinet next to my room in the courtyard and there was a tupperware container with a little cat food in it. There are also other reviews about this cat. So, the owner can not deny that this is their pet that they just decided to not feed (for at least a week). This animal cruelty is unacceptable. I can overlook the cleanliness issue and broken hot tub, but not the animal cruelty.

We'd stayed on Bourbon Street prev., but this time chose the Frenchman Street area .I wasn't so sure when we first pulled up, BUT this place was secure, quaint, decorated like the neighborhood it was in. We were so close to everything we wanted to experience. Quite lovely. Nice to have access to laundry too. My only suggestion is to have more than 1 chair in the small room (like a folding chair) - we had our camping chair with us

Snatch up this booking as soon as possible! It is a collection of cottages that are so cute and well-appointed, yet full of New Orleans feel.

Best location in French Quarter w/ great hosts

Visited Nola for a weekend getaway. This B&B is in perfect walking distance from all activities yet it is secluded enough that you can rest well away from the crowds and noise. We rented a car for day trips. It was very easy to find parking around, many times we found spots right in front of the door of the B&B. This is a large house converted to a B&B. Very charming and cozy. The rooms are decorated with unique touches. Tom and Dana were very nice to provide all information we needed.They accommodated our early arrival and made great suggestions about the area, prepared delicious special breakfast each morning where we ate at a communal table .Had great conversations with other guests and Tom. The only one downside was that the very small and uncomfortable bathroom in our room. I'm not sure about the other rooms. Rooms don't seem to be standard. Other than that we do reccomend to stay at B&W.

Everything was excellent; we couldn’t be happier with the bed & breakfast. The location was in walking distance to several tourist destinations but far away enough from the bars for a good night’s sleep, even with the New Year’s Eve festivities. That really mattered to us! The bedroom suite with bathroom was unique and very clean.

Tom was an exceptional host, conversationalist and historian. The breakfasts were beautiful, delicious and varied throughout our stay and it was pleasant to chat with other guests each morning. It was so nice that he had Sunday bagels from NYC- where we came from, but hadn’t had in months- and how nice it was to wake up and smell breakfast each morning. He made a wonderful New Years breakfast with homemade cornbread, ham, egg soufflé, and beans as a traditional New Orleans New Years breakfast.

Tom took care to get to know all his guests and made sure everyone knew about current and historical information about the area. He shared plenty of helpful travel tips for us first- timers and made us feel very welcome. It was far more enjoyable and interesting than staying at a larger hotel. We would love to come back to this vibrant city and will definitely stay here when we do!

The king-sized bed was quite comfortable, the courtyard with hot-tub was very quiet and relaxing, and Tom’s breakfasts were absolutely delicious. Walking distance to many activities, restaurants, and shops in the French quarter. Tom and Anna were very gracious hosts with plenty of helpful tips for first time NOLA visitors. We definitely plan to take another trip to NOLA and stay at the B&W.

A hidden gem in Marigny

What a charming little B&B! It's tucked away at practically the narrowest part of the Marigny neighborhood, making the distance to the French Quarter or Bywater a very short walk. The owners were extremely accommodating and Tom fixed us two amazing breakfasts during our two night stay. I've stayed in Hotels and B&Bs in practically every neighborhood in New Orleans. This one stands out as one of the best I've stayed in anywhere... not just in NOLA, but anywhere - Europe, the Caribbean, Asia... anywhere. I highly recommend B&W Courtyard. It was charming and they made us feel very much at home.
