I liked my five day stay here. I felt like I was at home.Nothing fancy but very comfortable.Easy to get to the Quarter from here plus it has its own gay and gay friendly places right in the neighbourhood.I also felt very safe here even walking walking back from the French Quarter late at night.I also went to the local gay watering holes and had as much if not more fun than in the French Quarter. I enjoyed the friendly eclectic and interesting people that were staying here including the naked tug boat captain sunning in the back yard. I plan to stay here again on my next trip to New Orleans.

I stayed at the Burgundy for only one night, but I was impressed by just about everything at the place. Kudos to Carl and his assistant, who were the perfect New Orleans hosts; they provided insiders' information about the city and neighborhood, good conversation, etc. The room was clean and comfortable, with remote control TV, air conditioner, etc. Bathroom was also clean and tidy, with everything provided. I recommend Burgundy without hesitation. It's a 10 or 15 minutes' walk to the French Quarter, but that's good, because it gives you the chance to explore another beautiful (gay & mixed) neighborhood in the city. I've found my place to stay in New Orleans! Jose

I was very impressed with this bed and breakfast. The rooms were very clean and above all I felt safe. The owner is very accomodating. We were able to rest and get a very good nights sleep. The area is quiet without street noise. The owner is very personable and made us feel at home.

The best B&B we could expect: it made our stay really great. After spending time into the city (the B&B is 15 min from the french quarter), it was nice to come back, enjoying the backyard, and talking to Carl about New Orleans. We spent 5 days there : breakfast great, room clean and nice,... Carl's B&B is terrific and we highly recommend this B&B to anyone who wants to experiment a cosy, warm and friendly stay.

Thanks Carl, the B & B was all and more than I hoped.Thanks also for the local info on food, where to venture and not and keep safe. The local map was particularly helpfull, Another great feature was the internet set up.. I used this to keep in touch and manage my property empire(its also free to use).Thanks for a great time Carl.

Situated 10 min from the french quarter it's near enough and still far enough away to be a nice and peaceful location. Really nice atmosphere and it seems everything a traveller needs has been taken into consideration. The only slightly negetiv thing I can come up with is that breakfast is served from 9-11 am - which is a bit late if you are travelling with a 10 months old baby as I was :-) There were however cereals and some fruit available at all hours.

Carl was very pleasant, informative and accommodating. We rented bikes (fixed gear touring bikes) and rode all over the French Quarter, the 9th ward and up to Lake Pontchartrain. The bikes made the trekking around the area really easy and enabled us to stay outside of the quarter and rest peacefully and quietly. Breakfast was a time to gather information on restaurants, navigation and events. We especially enjoyed the restaurants, jazz and festivities in the Faubourg Marigny community. We would definitely stay at the Burgundy again.

My partner and I stayed at the Burgundy for 3 nights in March 2009. Carl welcomed us warmly, and gave advice for things to do during our stay. We enjoyed playing games on the patio and taking a dip in the hot tub. We were close enough to walk to the French Quarter, but also enjoyed many of the local dives in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood. You'll definitely want to have good walking shoes. Carl gave us a map and showed us where to go to stay safe. We enjoyed our trip and never worried about being in the wrong place. We parked our car on the street for the entire trip and never had a problem. Expect a mix of gay and straight guests. I especially enjoyed chatting with the other guests during breakfast, and even spent the day with another couple we met at the bed and breakfast.

My partner and are on a cross country road trip. We chose a route that took us by New Orleans. My patner had been before I had not. We looked at hotel and B & Bs on Purple Roofs and found Burgundy House. The rates were so good that we decided to stay for three nights imstead of only one. We stay in the Red room with a door to the back yard and hot tub. To say the least we both enjoy our stay. Carl was the perfect host we plenty of privacy, when we needed his help he was right there with some great recomendations. We had a great stay and we will stay at the Burgundy House when we return to the Big Easy.

We arrived on Friday before Mardi Gras and were warmly greeted by Carl who showed us around the Inn and introduced us to the other guests. Everyone was very friendly and in a festive Mardi Gras mood. We felt quite at home and comfortable at the Burgundy. Carl was very helpful in pointing out good restaurants in the area, where the various gay bars were located, and advised us about staying safe in the city during the biggest party weekend of the year. We would definitely stay here on future visits to New Orleans.

We stayed here as part of our 1st. trip to the U.S.A. Carl,the owner is a mine of information, which he is happy to pass on. We loved the French Quarter, the music which was everywhere, the food, everything really. The Burgundy makes an ideal base, lots of character and a wondeful place to come back to when you are footsore from exploring this fantastic City. We hope to go back, a week is not enough.

Hi my name is Kenneth. My friends and I have stayed at the Burgundy B&B each of the three times we have come to this cozy getaway. Just a short walk from the French quarter this neighborhood has a lot to offer from some friendly neiborhood bars and reasonably priced restaraunts where the locals eat. The people in the neighborhood are the artsy type and are friendly. The rooms are clean and neat and homey. We especially love the back porch and enclosed patio/garden area. Don't forget the hot tub. It's a nice place to catch a breeze and enjoy some privacy. Carl can arrange a taxi for the airport and this has been very reasonable and convenient for us. We will be back.

This was our first time staying at a bed and breakfast.. We really didn't know what to expect. Last minute business meeting had me slightly flustered. We were pleasantly surprised when Mr. Carl not only directed us into town, but checked to make sure that we were okay throughout the evening. He was extremely kind to myself, my daughter and my fiancee. I will surely be staying there again soon. Thanks again Mr. Smith from Tileda, Rick and Star.. Shreveport La.

This bed and breakfast is in an excellent location within walking distance of the french quarter in a neighborhood of beautiful old colorful homes. The house is beautiful and full of New Orleans charm. The host can provide a wealth of knowledge about the city including excellent restaurants, activities and safety tips. The burgundy is by far the best value i've seen.

We stayed here for three nights in November 2008. Carl, the host and owner, is fantastic with a wealth of knowledge on the area and always available and happy to help with any questions. He makes you feel very welcome and at ease and it was a pleasure to meet him. The house is beautiful and the rooms are tastefully decorated and well appointed with wireless internet and a computer for those without laptops. The beds are very comfy and the rooms had ample storage space. There is a lovely garden out the back and there are even facilities to do your laundry. Breakfast is fantastic with multiple choices- we did not want to leave!! It is about a 10 minute walk to the French Quarter which is actually a huge advantage as it is much quieter and there are some beautiful little streets to walk down on the way. All in all I would highly recommend this B&B for a comfortable, quiet and homely stay in New Orleans.
