“Highly Recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2005

Our stay at the Avenue Inn B&B was fantastic. The house and room were as advertised, "authentic"with modern comforts. Joe and Bebe the innkeepers were very accomodating, without being overbearing. The inn's location on St. Charles is a minutes drive from Magazine Street and walking distance from many from several bars/restuarants. We look forward to a return visit and will recommend the Ave. Inn to anybody looking to visit New Orleans.

“1851 The last time it was cleaned.”

Unfortunately, this was the worst B&B experience ever. The building is delapidated and dirty. I understand this is a very old house, however, there is no excuse for the filthy conditions. The carpet on the stairs was disgusting. I doubt the floors had been cleaned in years and the bathroom was one step above a porta potty. The balcony was so badly slanted it was almost unsafe. The shutters were so heavily painted over that you could not close them to keep out sunlight or maintain privacy.
No Southern hospitality here. It's a shame this property has been neglected for a long time. Not a surprise that it's "For Sale".

“Rude host and obnoxious behavior”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 August 2003

people found this review helpful

I had used this B&B before to have guests stay there when they came to town. For the most part, everything was OK- not great, but acceptable.
So, I decided this place would be a nice location to rent out (we rented out the ENTIRE building) for my family during graduation. This was one of the worst mistakes I could have made. The host was unbearable. She spent the entire time telling my family about her Communist beliefs and how she likes to host Cubans who come up. She just wouldn't stop raving about how wonderful Communism was. Then, she told my cousin and brother about 'recommended' nightlife locations which were in horrible parts of town. Definitely not safe. Finally, my aunt had written a nice review in her guestbook, but had mentioned that the room was a tad warm for her tastes. When we returned from our Sunday brunch, she had ripped the review my aunt had done in her guest book and accused my aunt of ruining everything. She verbally attacked my aunt and ordered everyone out of the bed and breakfast. Luckily, she DID return the money that some of the guests had paid for additional nights in the B&B. My family ended up having to spend a number of extra hours in the airport waiting for their flights. Her behavior was totally uncalled for and ruined what could have been a wonderful visit.
I will NEVER recommend that anyone stay at this place because of the owner's unpredictable behavior.
