We booked both Greatman Cottage and the adjacent duplex "The Loft at Greatman" for our family, which was in New Orleans for a wedding. Both places were beautiful and clean, and a wonderful place to come home to as busy events took place all Thanksgiving weekend.
Both places had well-appointed and very nice kitchens and very pleasant living areas, with large, airy windows. There is a wonderful, private courtyard with a beautiful fountain -- a lovely place to relax -- just out the Cottage dining room french doors.
The neighborhood is the Bywater, so like much of New Orleans, can be funky -- but very artsy and nice. If you know New Orleans at all you will be comfortable there! Booking the loft as well was great for our kids and grandkids -- so it was a wonderful location for all of us.
Our host James we very nice and professional throughout the entire booking process, and was very accommodating to our needs.
We recommend both Greatman College and the Loft very highly!
One contrast between Greatman and the Loft is that the 3-bedroom Greatman has some fairly steep steps to the bedrooms, while the 2-bedroom Loft is all on one level -- so that may make a difference depending on your visitors. It was all good with us, though.
We had the choice of booking at a number of other VRBOs and hotels during this stay, and visited a few of them where friends were staying. We have no doubt, though, that this was the best accomodation we could have had. We loved it.
