First off let me say if Bret had a shoe box as a listing, I would rent it immediately! My family and I rented both his guest house and loft. Communication with Bret prior to our arrival was immediate. He answered even the small silly questions I had. We checked in with each other prior to our arrival. The property is less than 20 minutes from the airport and a quick cab ride ($40). Bret met us at the front door and gave further instructions on how to enter the courtyard. The courtyard is amazing. You are literally in the middle of a tropical paradise with some of the biggest plants I have ever seen. My daughter (24 y/o) and I stayed in the guest house. It had everything we needed and then some. Plenty of added things like cold water in the fridge and even Band-Aids and sunscreen. It was so clean. I never even questioned it. The king size bed was so comfortable and between the a/c and the giant fan over the bed, we were cool and comfortable. It was super quiet too. My son (26 y/o) and his fiancé stayed in the loft. The two properties are separated by the courtyard. It was large and clean. Again, lots of added extras like cold water and lotions. Very quiet, comfortable and cool for the Louisianna humidity. We walked everywhere. No need for cabs or Ubers to get to the fun spots. Bret would frequently meet us in the courtyard for conversations and ask about our day or evening. We played with his bird and dogs. He was extremely kind and friendly and always had suggestions on places to see, eat and visit. Bret would frequently check in with us to see if we needed anything and if we were comfortable. He truly went above and beyond and made us feel very welcome. I wish I could give this more than a 5-star rating because honestly, I don't think I have ever rented a better place! If you are going to Nola, this is where you want to stay!
