Being in this area surrounded by these beautifully restored homes feels like being in another country. Breakfast here is great and there are other restaurants nearby you can walk to for pizza, seafood, coffee, "adult beverages". The house is walking distance to a ferry boat that will take you across the river to the street cars, French Quarter, Superdome, Mardi Gras World, Uptown, etc. The people are friendly, hospitality here is amazing and I want to move in...forever.

The accommodations (Memphis Mini) was clean and comfortable, and the beautiful neighborhood (Algiers Point) was quiet with great restaurants and bars with good food..! It was a five minute walk to the ferry to cross the mighty Mississippi to the French Quarter. We will visit again and recommend staying at the House of the Rising Sun B&B in Algiers Point..!

Kevin and Boudin the Wonder Dog greeted us upon arrival and chatted with us on the back porch. Relaxing on the swing out there while petting Boudin was wonderful. The daily fresh fruit breakfasts were the perfect start to our days along with the hour or so of talking with our fellow houseguests about our adventures the previous day. The rooms have private bathrooms, our bed was comfortable, rooms were wonderfully decorated and clean. There is a short 2 block stroll to the ferry which we took daily to cross the river into the French Quarter. ( a highlight of our day) There is also an English pub down the street which is very friendly, fun and convenient. A nearby church tolls every hour for a nice touch. All in all, it was the perfect place for us away from the "city" to go home to every evening. Thank you Kevin, Wendy and Boudin!

Our host was pretty accommodating and let us keep our stuff for longer in our room when we needed to hold our luggage. The kitchen is full of snacks, coffee, and other beverages that can be accessed at any time. Our room was outside the main house but it was cute. It had a hot tub inside with a ton of different bubble settings. I really liked the effervescent salt that came as a packet to use with the tub. For breakfast, it was available anytime between certain hours. The breakfast came with the most amazing chicory coffee. It was honestly the best chicory coffee I have ever had. Food wise we had the Monte Cristo rolls. I really liked the jelly with the ham and cheese.

It's far enough away that you can get a decent night's sleep (once you get used to the traffic and thin walls of am old house).

Patrick was communicative before we arrived, ensuring he was aware when we would check in and offering to accommodate an early check in if available. Karma was wonderful, as well! We missed our first breakfast due to having a swamp tour. We were at to meet our bus for that at the time breakfast starts. I let Patrick know in advance and he said to remind them the day before, which happened to be our check in day. He said they could do eh sandwiches or something if we were OK with that. We agreed those sounded perfect - warm and portable on a chilly February morning. Karma had them ready for us in a little carry out bag, along with a couple surprises: warm banana bread slices, a fresh fruit cup (which was a perfect snack on the bus back from the swamp), some Sunny D, and some waters. It was all quite thoughtful and very tasty! The next morning we enjoyed praline French toast casserole, which was delicious but I couldn't finish it! (Another individual was having scrambled eggs and dry toast so they can accommodate if you opt out of the breakfast of the day) Coffee, with and without chicory, was available. Tea was also available, which was nice in the cold evenings. Patrick offered tips on where to see parades for those in town for Mardi Gras, and tips on other sights as well. We'd certainly return!

Pat and Greg are amazingly hospitable, opening up their house and sharing stories of New Orleans and the Bougainvillea House history. The house is located right in the heart of the French Quarter, and so it is just minutes to walk to Bourbon street, the Frenchmen District to enjoy Jazz clubs or the waterfront. Greg and Pat even took us to one of their favorite parade spots and we enjoyed watching the Krewe of Bacchus parade up St. Charles. Highly recommended if you want to experience New Orleans as a local.

Cereals, muffins, bagels, etc. The fridge has the milk, oj, creamer etc.There is a coffee machine and even a bottled water dispenser. And the hot breakfasts are superb. Joe whipped up delicious pancakes and sausages and another day there were scrumptious quiches. You come and go as you please and the front is always locked but not for us with the code.

They explained how parking works on Frenchmen Street and pointed out some spots that were free right in front of their place. We nabbed it--It can happen! They showed us around their BEAUTIFUL shotgun house with 12' ceilings, period furniture, and a lovely, quiet garden patio off the kitchen/dining area. We had some friends in who live in the area join us for a bit in the garden, and our hosts made ALL of us feel quite welcome. Joe & Kristi have a deep connection with the neighborhood. It was evident as each in turn shared their perspective on the people, the food, the music--the scene in general.

Karen was so sweet and accomodating and everything was clean and gorgeous. Fast forward about 20 years, and I have moved from WA state, to Memphis, and my friend from back home is coming in for my birthday, and we are "touring" some southern states. I knew I wanted to stay at Dauphine House, but was worried it wouldn't be owned by the same person. I was so pleased to find out it was still Karen! She is so nice, and provides a breakfast basket with bananas and muffins, water in the fridge, and there is a Keurig in the room. She even provides real plates, silverware, cups and glasses. We decided not to have her provide the breakfast basket, we decided to be "sinful" and eat breakfast at Cafe Du Monde each morning. She also provides you with a detailed, color coded map of the quarter, and a little booklet of things to see, places to eat, things to be careful about, etc. The location is so close to everything. You turn a corner, and cross the street... BOOM you are on Bourbon Street. The house is so quiet, you don't hear any street noise, and it is so clean. I know I mentioned that previously, but that is really important for me. It is a beautifully decorated old New Orleans home, and I would recommend for anyone to stay. You will not be sorry! You will be enchanted!

I had made the reservation months in advance, but the B&B was going through some technical problems with their system, so the booking process was slightly confusing. John, the owner, e-mailed me to clear things up and put us on a list for a free room upgrade. Fast -forward to our arrival. I really wasn't expecting the upgrade, but we got it! This meant that we stayed in the suite on the first floor--a beautiful bedroom and living room separated by pocket doors. It was basically like staying in our own apartment, especially since our room was right next to the kitchen. (One caveat: If you like to sleep late, this might not be the room for you since you can hear the kitchen noise in the morning starting around 8 or so. It didn't bother us since we were generally up by then anyway.) John is an amazing host and cook. We're talking real breakfasts here; not just a quick continental thing. My boyfriend and I had a great time chatting with him in the mornings. As for the location, it's right on the edge of the French Quarter, so it's within easy walking distance of a lot of points of interest but is far enough from the crazy that you don't have to worry about drunk people screaming and puking outside your window. Parking can be tricky (street parking), so you're probably better off without a car. After our experience here, I would never stay anywhere else in NOLA!

I feel like New Orleans was a little late to the game with these types of places, but now we have a decent array (typically at hotels like this one). And like most of the other rooftop bars at hotels, you don't have to be a hotel guest to take advantage! This past Saturday evening was surprisingly quiet up there, possibly due to White Linen happening on the other side of the CBD. I wasn't complaining, believe me! It was perfect out there for me and just when I thought things couldn't possibly get better, I saw the cocktail menu. Frosé, baby! Passionfruit frosé, yes please. Also, prices are not as high as you'd expect. My guy got a $3 Modelo. Frosé was $8. Pretty views of the surrounding buildings, fairy lights against the dark summer sky and a slight breeze... living my best life with a glass of frozé in mah hand. Thanks, Catahoula!
