4 of 5 stars Reviewed May 22, 2013 for a stay in May 2013 NEW

The Banana was exactly what I thought it would be. A kitschy little bed and breakfast in between the French Quarter and Marigny with great owners and a good price. We rented the Banana with 5 other couples and so had several rooms inside the main house and then also all the outside rooms on the balcony. We spent most...

Banana Courtyard is "home". The Traveling Sistahs have been here 2 times and are coming back in 2014. We started with 4, grew to 7 and next year, there will be 12 of us. Hugh, Mary, Corey and Gerald are wonderful people who make you feel like family. The rooms are spacious, the service is excellent and Hugh is quite...

We have stayed with the "banana lady" and Hugh three times now, in three different rooms. We return each year because the service is great, the location is fabulous (between Marigny and French Quarter) and the price is right. We walk toward the Marigny when we want more of a local vibe and the French Quarter when we feel like...

Additional Location Information
LOCATION, location, location. We've said it for years (and so have our REPEAT guests):
Only 1/2 block from the French Quarter, 3 blocks to BOURBON St., it's an easy walk to ALL FRENCH QUARTER attractions.

You'll be very close to 'all the action", but actually be able to get a sound night's sleep.
