    Nothing to dislike.

    It is an amazing place near French Quarter. Owners are special and they are very attentive to details. You fill like home, or in the house of some good friends. The pool is great.

    Bring your earplugs, the old building has very thin walls and you can follow a conversation from your neighbor. Our fellow guests were respectful and tried to be quiet in the evenings and early mornings - but I think this is not always the case.

    I normally do not rate places 10 - but this one has earned it. It is so beautiful, there is so much love and effort put to detail.. We really enjoyed being there one rainy afternoon. it feels like home away from home so quickly. The whole family is so committed to do the maximum for their guests, and the breakfast is outstanding in quality. We can and will recommend Kate's place to everyone planning to go to New Orleans.

    We had wonderful days in the Auld Sweet Olive. It is the perfect starting point to discover New Orleans. Quiet, relaxed and family-run. Every morning there was a different delicious breakfast and the pool was refreshing on hot days. Everyone was very friendly and I would come back to the B&B anytime if I were back in New Orleans.

    The shower in our room was very small but the water was hot and it was a well stocked bathroom with fluffy white towels, a hairdryer, soap and shampoo/conditioner!

    The house is beautiful, clean and comfortable! Beautiful antiques, wood floors and high ceilings with fans! The included breakfast was delicious and healthy every morning! The coffee and OJ were very good and Kate the property manager is so friendly, welcoming and gave us a great list of sights to see in the city! She is fantastic at her job and I highly recommend this property!

    We liked everything about our stay!

    We enjoyed our balcony apartment very much, with its lovely seated area, hammock and view of the pool/ well kept gardens. The neighborhood is filled with creole cottages, it was peaceful, friendly and a stones throw from Frenchman and great local places to eat. The host Kate makes amazing breakfasts and has lots of really helpful info, the main house is beautifully kept and the owners dad Steve is friendly too. There’s a cooperative food store and Marie’s Bar with the Slap Burger 2 mins walk away, two great Thai restaurants 10 mins walk. Really happy we chose this B&B for Jazz Fest, we met lovely guests staying there and had great chats over breakfast. Definitely recommended.

    I just wanted to stay longer. LOL There was a full moon over the new pool. Doesn't get better than that! This is my second time to make the Oak Room, my room. And I am coming back next month for a third time!

    Breakfast was more than sufficient. Atmosphere cannot be beat. Kate is the best! Above and beyond sufficient service. A hearty.... heart-full, restorative place.

    N/a, everything was awesome.

    The home is gorgeous! There is art and color in every corner, the furniture and details are a beautiful blend of old and new. The Courtyard Suite was the perfect size for our honeymoon getaway, it was tucked away and private and was well-appointed. The breakfast was phenomenal, and definitely the main reason we decided to stay here. Kate, the innkeeper, was incredibly welcoming and hospitable and gave us some great recommendations on things to do in the city. All-around fantastic experience!

    Auld sweet olive Just, stay here. Just do it. Don’t even look at another place to stay, this is your home away from home in NOLA!!! This property is stunning and inviting. Kate, the in keeper is a QUEEN and the ultimate B&B Mama. You will feel at home from moment one here. I’m a NOLA native but live out of state now, and I will be staying here EVERY TRIP HOME from now on. There’s a heated pool and a hot tub. There’s fresh, homemade hot breakfast every morning. There’s a beautiful living room where you can curl up with a book or play any one of the many games they have available. Or you can just drink. ;) The location is perfect. You can get anywhere you need to by a quick uber. Lots of great local bars and cafes and places to eat/drink that are walking distance (hello, Marie’s!) The Marigny is such a special place and you won’t regret staying here. We literally cried when we left. You will leave a piece of your heart at Auld Sweet Olive. We are coming back, Kate!!

    Beautiful inside and out. Comfortable and welcoming. I was greeted with a smile and made to feel right at home. The patio is lovely, the breakfast delicious, and my room was so very clean and comfortable and lovely to look at. I actually didn't want to leave. I would have extended my stay if I could have. I plan on returning there for my next visit to New Orleans. The Hospitality was amazing.

    This area probably wouldn't be good for people who are in need of assistance walking. The sidewalks are generally very bumpy, making it easy to trip. Tree roots and high water tables make them generally in poor repair. Parking in the city can be a challenge too.

    Breakfast was amazing; Kate, the host, is a wonderful cook. The building is within easy walking distance from Bourbon Street and the French Quarter. It is safe to walk round this area and we felt very comfortable here. Loved the pool and the fire pit too.

    The bed room right next to the kitchen was a bit noisy in the morning.

    Great Airbnb in the French quarter of new Orleans. Fat away from the hectic buzz to relax but closer enough to walk everywhere. Beautiful house and decoration. Fantastic breakfast and sorry nice hosts. Recommend highly.
