My boyfriend and I recently spent three nights at Lemon Tree Manor. It's an absolute gem - even better than the pictures! Beautifully renovated inside and out, quiet at night, very comfortable bed, lovely shower, and fully equipped throughout with all the comforts of home. And of course, the amazing 'welcome brownies' that other reviewers have raved about. Lemon Tree Manor is an easy 20 minute walk to the French Quarter but also close to many amazing bars and restaurants in the Bywater and Marigny neighbourhoods. Susan, Dink and the resident puppies were wonderfully welcoming and we took full advantage of their recommendations.

The only problem was that there was so much to see and do in New Orleans we didn’t get to spend nearly enough time relaxing on the front porch sipping drinks, watching passersby, and playing with the puppies. Next time. Cheers to the hosts...we'll be back!
