This was my first B&B experience. I choose 5 Continents because Peter had a dog, Akko. I was in NOLA for a wedding and wasn't really interested in sightseeing, so I wanted a place I could just hang out at and read and watch TV. I read downstairs in the living room and Akko was by my side the whole time. I really enjoyed having a place to read with a really cool dog nearby. I'm a sucker for poached eggs with seafood, and Peter delivered with a great breakfast and some great coffee. The house was very comfortable with really unique decor that gives it a great charm. I definitely will come back to 5 Continents on my next trip to NOLA. I miss Akko already. Thanks Peter for a wonderful stay.

Elegant B&B with the convenience of being near the French Quarter, but away from the hustle and bustle. The room was cozy and the breakfast selection delicious. You will enjoy the charm.

We loved Five Continents for our weekend getaway. Peter is a wonderful host and a very good cook! His breakfasts were a perfect start to each day we were there. The house and our room (the Eurasia Suite) were beautiful. The location of the house was ideal, we found it easily coming in from I10 West and it was just a few blocks from the French Quarter. I would highly recommend Five Continents and can't wait to stay here again. Be sure to say hello to Akko and give him a good scratch behind the ears for us!

Great place to stay, close to everything but not in the middle of French Quarter congestion. Host was wonderful, he's on property so we had someone to get advice from, and his breakfasts are fabulous! Would definitely recommend this place and hope to go back!

This was our first first to NOLA and our first stay at Five Continents. The B&B is now under new ownership (Jess has retired). Peter was an exceptional host and the morning meals were nothing short of excellent. Our room was comfortable and the mini-fridge was well stocked. Sure, the place could use some sprucing up, heck, it's old, but all in all we enjoyed our experience and would stay there again without hesitation.
