Macarty House

First time in New Orleans, planned to stay here for 3 nights but ended up staying for 5. Mainly because he owners, Lauren and Daniel are such excellent hosts. Great advice on where to go and what to do, nothing better than a local to give you advice. The hotel was quiet when we were there so Lauren and Daniel sat with us a breakfast and helped us plan our day. Rooms spotlessly clean. All of their suggestions were spot on. Good little pool with sun deck, unusual for a B&B. We visited the WW11 museum which is outstanding but allow at least 4 hours for your visit. Burboun St was a disappointment, but go to Frenchman St for great music and food. Try 30/90o bar for music. Highly recommended and within walking distance, is the Lounge (best ribs ever). Another reviewer spoke of the area, we drove down from Houston and arrived about 6pm, we were slightly concerned as the area has some building with a lot of graffiti on them, however they are being developed and the owners said the area has changed a great deal over the last few years, and is becoming one of NO sought after places to live. Its abut a 5/10 minute trip by uber/taxi into the French quarter. Altogether a great place to stay and would highly recommend.

Our extended family booked this wonderful bed and breakfast for several days in March. Lauren and Daniel went beyond our expectations and were not only flexible and responsive to what we needed, but also are bountiful cooks and excellent at offering ideas and places to tour and discover. Their place is beautiful and comfortable, and the outside grounds and pool are beautiful, creating a serene space in the heart of the Bywater. Highly recommend for families as well as for couples who want to enjoy NOLA and all it offers!

We loved our stay at Lauren and Daniel's place! We stayed in room 1/the master suite for two nights and appreciated the comfy bed, high ceilings, and private balcony. Lauren and Daniel were very available but also gave us our space. They were fun to talk to and all of their recommendations were spot-on! It felt like staying with friends who also cooked us delicious gourmet breakfasts. I'd gladly come back to book a single room when available or to bring a group and rent the whole house. The place is in a great neighborhood that's reasonable (30 min) walking distance to the French Quarter along really fun streets to explore. You can also pick up a NOLA blue bike (pay by the minute rental) right across the street. Lots of great restaurants, bars, coffee shops to visit right in the area. The place was also very affordable, great value compared to other options. Highly recommended!

We had a surprise 70th birthday party weekend with couples and families. The house comfortably accommodated everyone with plenty of sleeping space and bathrooms. There were lots of outdoor spaces to relax and play -- two levels of porches, a back patio area, an outdoor bar, pool chairs, etc. The kitchen was great for prepping meals. The outdoor bar kept the adults happy, while the pool kept the kids happy. Well, actually, everyone was happy! Highly recommend!

Arrived here after a quite stressful journey from Vicksburg. Hit one large traffic holdup in Baton Rouge and another one entering New Orleans. Area appeared a bit run down, so it was with a bit of trepidation that we approached the house. But you receive such a warm welcome from Lauren and Daniel that any worries are soon forgotten. Lovely house. Our bedroom (in main house, other rooms in annex) was smallish but cosy. Breakfast was good. Curtis, the chef, is very accomodating if you dont like what he has prepared besides being very nice and friendly. Outdoor area is great. Nice little pool and good sun deck. Bar with honesty box ! Lauren and Daniel are really lovely people. Always ready to have good chat, whether in the bar area or out on the stoop in the morning. Few places to eat in neighbourhood. Would recommend The Joint. We always got a taxi in and out of NO (only $12-15 each way). Two reasons - one, the traffic is horrendous, two, it is at least a half hours walk. New Orleans is a great place. My third best place in the world (just behind New York and Sydney). It is absolutely buzzing. The music is superb. Even the music being played in the shops ! Bourbon Steet is amazing. We went there early afternoon to early evening, so dont know if it gets too rowdy later into the night. Great jazz in Maison Bourbon. Would certainly go back to NO and would stay at Maison de Macarty. Lauren and Daniel are the perfect hosts.

This beautiful inn outside of town in the bywater district was a wonderful base to venture out from.The owners , Lauren & Daniel were great hosts plus Lauren made us wonderful breakfasts. Great backyard area to relax with wonderful bar and pool area. I would highly recommend this inn as a base on your visit to New Orleans.

New Orleans is my absolute favorite city. I took my boyfriend in June of 2015, which was his first time visiting. We stayed here and had the most wonderful time, everyone was sweet and accommodating. We had a beautiful and tasty breakfast every morning. The first night there he proposed to me at Bacchanal down the street, knowing it was my favorite city😍. Now my husband and I still talk about our time there and how we will revisit Maison de Macarty and bring our friends as well as renew our vows here in the future by the pool. Please don't pass this magical B&B up. You won't be disappointed! YAY!

I never write online reviews but wanted to make a special effort to do this. This place is phenomenal. The only negative is the distance from the French Quarter and attractions. It is within walking distance, but it took us about 40 mins and we were told half way through the trip that the area we were walking through wasn't the safest. On the other hand, the bywater area where b&b is located also has it's own flair and local personality that I'd recommend to anyone. It's worth staying there and getting a cab. When we arrived, Kurt fixed us drinks, and we were given a grand tour of the house and made to feel so welcome! The breakfast is phenomenal and everyone is super, super nice!!!!! Would highly recommend to anyone. BTW- It's also gay owned and operated but lots of straight couples were there, too!
