    Wonderful Place To Stay

    April 03, 2013

    I would highly recommend the Five Continents- it was a great place to stay while visiting New Orleans. Peter was a wonderful host who made great breakfasts and was full of information and tips about the area. The accommodations were outstanding.

    Great little B&B at an affordable price!

    March 18, 2013

    We stayed in the Eurasian suite with out 2 children, and it was perfect for us. We also had friends that stayed in the Cottage, so we were able to use the patio areas with them and the kids nightly. Peter's breakfasts were delicious, their dog is so sweet, their service was wonderful, and I would definitely stay again. Since we were traveling with children, we chose to drive each day rather than walk. Their off-street parking made that very convenient.

    Great B&B

    November 08, 2012

    We warmly recommend this B&B. Peter (and Walther) are gracious hosts and cook a wicked breakfast. Coming in from Scandinavia you know you're on vacation when several breakfast options contain alligator sausage :-). The European Suite is very comfortable with large bedroom, living room and veranda (although hurricane Sandy lowered the temperature too much for us to profit much from it).

    Great B&B with wonderful breakfasts

    September 20, 2012

    My wife and I just stayed at FiveContinents for the past four nights and had a wonderful time. New Orleans is a beautiful city with many sights to see and is filled with great restaurants and clubs. Peter and Walter are excellent hosts and the breakfasts were great! Peter is a fine chef and will cater to the diner's wishes. His dog Ako? added to the homey atmosphere. We'd go back in a heartbeat. Ed and Chris Hansen, Wisconsin
