Our group travels to New Orleans about once every two years and we always rent a home. New Orleans is the perfect place to find a home to rent, because they all have so much history to them that it makes it part of the experience. Well, I am happy to say that Airyn Monet Guest House was an absolute gem of an experience. The house was built over 100 years ago, but all of the modern amenities that you would want are inside. You can play music throughout the home, enjoy the hotub tub or pool table, play Wii, watch cable, anything you want! Yes, there are some very old aspects like the upstairs bath and shower, but they are part of the home and its history. In fact, we enjoyed using them- when will you ever get to again?!

The location is ideal as well. About 7 minutes in cab in The French Quarter, walking distance to Le Bon Temps and Tips for music, and 20 minutes on the St. Charles street car to downtown.

The owner and host are also huge positives for this property. While there is a host that lives on-site on the third floor, Randy is cordial, polite and allows you to do your own thing. We hardly ever saw him, and when we did he seemed like he was a part of our group!

Every room and hallway of the home was been decorated with great detail. Each room has its own personality, but each one is fantastic in its own right. We loved the decorations around the home, especially "the chair" and the medieval guard at the front door (you have to go to see them!). If you are looking for a rental in New Orleans for a good group experience, look no further. You found the perfect home!

The description is outdated. Upstairs bedspreads had major lumps in quilts...Please update it's rather gross.

The kitchen sink disposal, water ran profusely when I used it. Dishwasher did not clean dishes;I had to handwash to ensure cleanliness. Pots and pans were not clean on arrival. The bath upstairs, the shower head is short, I am 5'4"...downstairs bath the tub rocks...not safe!

Overall, Airyn Monet is nice property...BUT it's like you don't care about getting repeat customers by not maintaining the property.

Sincerely,
Frances Mordaunt

10 people -- three adults and seven 17/18 year olds traveled to New Orleans to help with restoration efforts at Trinity Lutheran Church on N. Claiborne. We had a wonderful four days at the Airyn Monet and it was the PERFECT setting for our group. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and have some space, yet many areas to cozy up and talk.

The teens enjoyed the hot tub, playing pool, and sitting out on the upstairs patio into the early morning hours talking. The neighborhood was very peaceful and inviting and the house very secure.

Working with Randy and Patricia was a treat! They worked hard to accommodate our group and made us feel very welcome. We appreciated having so many comforts of home -- washer/dryer, well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms, AC, and parking.

We prepared many of our meals in the kitchen with ease and ate out on the patio under the stars. It was a wonderful trip and a great place to call home for the better part of our week. We will certainly return and highly recommend.

Thanks Randy and Patricia -- blessings to you both!
