“This place was absolutely amazing and gorgeous - somehow better than the photos. It was in a really easy location, all our friends stayed and we all had both plenty of communal space and also individual privacy. The owners were SUPER responsive and helpful and kind. I would 1000% recommend.”
- Jerry | Philadelphia, PA
“I rented the Luna for a long weekend with friends and to host an intimate birthday party with close friends. DV helped bring the vision to life and was very accommodating when the weather didn’t cooperate. Everyone was very complimentary about the gorgeous decor, furnishings, and how well stocked the house was. This place is primo with great customer service to boot!”

This stretch of Magazine Street is home to some of the city’s most beloved restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and shopping, with the Convention Center, French Quarter, Coliseum Square, museums, and art galleries mere blocks away.
