Our time at Vincent's Studio was exactly what we were looking for: a little oasis tucked into a NOLA neighborhood, away from crowds but close to transportation. Tamarin & Steve, and their friend/helper Shelley were warm, welcoming and helpful. They gave us our space, but checked in to make sure we had what we needed & to answer questions. We happened to arrive the evening they were having a going away party for friends, and everyone brought us into the mix, fed us and gave us tips on what to see & do.

The studio is lovely and comfortable, one large room with bed/sitting area and a small bathroom. Very clean, lots of light, a fan and air conditioner, various beverages and some snacks in the mini-fridge and a microwave as well. Vincent's artwork inside and the lush garden/pool courtyard outside creates a retreat that is both beautiful and cozy. The pool is such a nice treat after a hot, humid day of exploring.

The neighborhood is quiet and we were comfortable walking around day and night, even very late. The St. Charles streetcar was our main source of transportation and was a 10 minute stroll from the house. The streetcar system took us everywhere we wanted to go and was easy to navigate. We did use Uber a couple of times. It's new to NOLA, but worked out great.

There were plenty of places to eat or grab a drink within walking distance as well, especially on Freret St. The one thing that wasn't walking distance was a place for groceries, although the streetcar takes you by a place several stops away.

Vincent's Studio was well worth the price, with an ideal location, gracious and knowledgable hosts and plenty of peace and quiet.
