We have been to New Orleans many times over the years, and we must say that this was our most enjoyable, and it was mostly due to the amazing accomodations at Villere Suites. We stayed in the Watson Suite, and It was comfortable, large and very well equipped with everything we could possibly need during our stay. It was such a pleasure to stay in a historic home, and a historic neighborhood just a short walking distance from the French Quarter.
But our greatest praise goes out to our host Emmitt, he was a pleasure to deal with from the very first day, and was always quick to answer any text from us with questions about where to eat or any concerns we might have. One evening, we noticed that the air conditioner had stopped working, and we sent him a 4am text letting him know, well, even though it was a Sunday morning, He responded to us first thing and even went and bought a fan for us in the meantime while he found somebody to fix the problem. We really thought we would be returning to a very hot apartment, being Sunday and all, but to our surprise, Emmitt came through and got it fixed before we got back that evening.
We highly recommend staying here at the Villere Suites if you want to come to NOLA and feel like a local while staying away from all the tourists in the French Quarter.
We know we will return to New Orleans for sure, and now we know we have found our home away from home.
