Esther, We are so happy you enjoyed your stay at Degas House, as we know you have many places to choose from while visiting New Orleans. Thank you for your kind remarks.

Amber, thank you for letting us know about your recent stay at the Beauty on the Bayou. To be quite hones, I am confused by this review because when I met with you, there was not mention of some of the things you have written about. You made a reservation for 8 guests and there were 10 in the house when I was there fixing the electrical problem. I gave you the opportunity to leave, but your said no you were going to stay.When we inspected the property after your departure, we found you and your guests had smoked in the house and there was a fowl odor of smoke throughout the house.

Ms. Vann, we spoke on the porch before you left the property and I explained the chef did not show up and I was not notified in time to get to the house to prepare the continental breakfast. I live in the suburbs of New Orleans and it would have been over an hour before I could have gotten to the house. You said you understood what had happened during your stay. I apologized. The couple you talked about in this review was moved quickly and efficiently to another upgraded and room and they were happy..

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent stay at the Degas House. We hope you will give us another opportunity to stay with us.Kindest regards,

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay at the Degas House. We wished you had spoken up to us during your stay about the bedding perhaps we could have accommodated you in another room. We are very surprised you thought the food service was bad. The one meal we serve, which is included in your rate, is the breakfast which has received numerous accolades from out other guests. Again we wish you had told us about this while you were here.The Degas House and our employees pride ourselves on good service and a great breakfast. The home is where Edgar Degas spent six months and painted 18 masterpieces while here.Thank you Kathy

Sherry, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay, and I apologize for the inconveniences you encountered. Did you tell/ask someone to move you to another guest room? The home is now showing the interior damage done by Hurricane Ida. The home was subjected to 13 hours of 100 MPH winds. Thank you again. Kathy

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your tour. Kindest regards, Kathy

Thank you for taking the time to review your recent stay at the Degas House. I will pass on the kind words to Sharon, Alma and Miss D. They are fantastic and breakfast is always woderfiul. There is no elevator in the home as it's historical and an elevator would ruin the history of the home which is dated back to the 1850's. We are a bed and breakfast and our office hours are from 9am to 6pm Monday - Friday and until noon on Saturday. We do check our voicemails and would have responded to any additional request you may have had. Thank you again. Kathy Orta

Jessica, Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to tell us how we did. I will pass your comments on to the staff. We hope you will visit again. Kindest regards, Kathy

Thank you we appreciate you telling about your recent stay at the Degas House. We look forward to seeing you again. Kindest regards, Kathy Orta

Thomas, Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your recent stay at the Degas House. The room you chose is a Garret - in old Paris time, the artists took over the attic spaces as they wanted a quiet space so they could rest during the day and play all night. We do not have an elevator - this is a historic home and an elevator would compromise the preservation of the home. We hope you would return and stay with us - there are many other rooms on the second floor. Kindest regards Kathy Orta

Thank you for taking the time to let us know about your recent stay. I will share with the staff about how great the breakfast was and also have our engineer look into the heating problem in the room. We do hope you will return and stay with us again. Kindest regards, Kathy Orta

Thank you for your kindness. Cannot wait to see you back at the Degas House

Thank you....we look forward to having you with us again. Kathy

Thank you for your kind thoughts and words. I will pass on to Sharon and Denise. We think they are pretty terrific ourselves. Kathy

Thank you for staying with us. I am very sorry to hear the WIFI was insufficient; however, we were shuttered for 15 months and we scaled back on the wifi connections. Kathy

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. We agree the home is very lovely and it is a French Landmark because of the distinction Maisons des Illustres (Houses of the Famous). the next time you are with us, we would love to see the love work your daughter draws. Kindest regards, Kathy Orta

Thank you for your review we appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule to tell us how you liked the Degas House and hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Regards, Kathy

Mr. Millet, We are so sorry you were inconvenienced during your stay with us. Our office hours are Monday - Friday 9:00am to 5:00pm and Saturday 9:00am to 1:00pm. The office is closed on Sunday. We do not have a 24 hour desk. Again we are sorry for the inconveniences you experienced during your stay.

I am unable to respond to this as I do not know when they stayed. I am also unable to understand if someone came into the house and left his wallet?

Hillary, Thank you for the kind remarks. I will pass them onto our staff. We hope you will return soon. Best regads, Kathy Orta

Nicole, Thank you for letting us know there was a problem in your room during your stay. Our staff is diligent about getting the problems solved immediately. Best Regards, Kathy

Thank you for staying with us at the Degas House. There are many events here such as weddings and fashion shows and we are truly sorry that you were inconvenienced by the noise. We would look forward to having you stay with us again and hope you will return to the Degas House. Kindest regards Kathy Orta

Shanna, thank you for your comments. We appreciate your feedback. We have contacted our a/c person and the problem has been resolved. Thank you Kathy

I am sorry you were unhappy with you room on the 3rd floor walk up, but this is a historic home and the room you chose did not have windows. The description on the website is very clear that there are no windows in the Garrett Rooms.

We are extremely disappointed by the above comments and would like to address anything that we can do to help match our other guest's reviews that stayed at the historic home of Edgar Degas House Museum built in 1850. Our home has been reviewed similarly to a Museum Castle in France, where there are no ropes and guests can stay in that period of life also. Please let me know if something was not work in the room? Also note, that we do not have anyone on staff in the evenings and on Sundays, as we send out instructions on how to access the LockBox with code. We would be happy to extend a stay when you're in town once again complimentary if you choose. We included free Gourmet Creole Breakfast with Bloody Mary or Mimosa daily, Decatur of Sherry, water, sodas, small refrigerator, wifi, cable and street or lot parking. We are very much about our guest's experiences and while visiting with us for three days, we would have been happy to change your room or addressed any problems. With Much Respect, June Fallo Director of Sales

Thanks to Expedia for allowing us to respond to this review. The Degas House has a proud heritage including many awards, and 5-star reviews to support our 22-year history of having a great product and superior service. The gentleman that wrote this review is clearly not the same gentleman that made this booking. The Degas House has a vacation property from a different period in history and on the water in a tropical setting circa 1960. The Degas House Museum, which celebrates the French Impressionist Master is a circa 1850 house, established in an old New Orleans neighborhood. These two houses are distinctly different! We have never had any confusion between these two houses and the two settings before this one! The complaint regarding air conditioning was due to the failure of our a/c vendor, who failed to replace a secondary back up unit on schedule. The A/C Vendor's response was to install temporary portable a/c units, as the back up for the fully functioning main a/c unit, until the new unit was shipped and was then installed! A small amount of mold was discovered in the outside pool bathroom shower stall and was immediately removed. Degas House wants the reader to understand that a partial refund was offered to this party, due the inconvenience of the temporary a/c units, but was not accepted by our guests and the offer is still on the table. The Degas House is proud to represent such a unique part of world history. Distinguished by the French Ministry of Culture, a 25-year history of press from various parts of the world, especially France and the US. We are also happy to offer a different product on Bayou St. John, that many families have been excited to occupy because of it's proximity to the Bayou and the pool. We stand by both products and invite you to come to experience New Orleans from either perspective. Thank you for reading.

Thank you for your high scores. It's wonderful when we get feedback from our guests, as this is the only way we know, to correct anything.

So enjoyed meeting with you. Feel free to call back if you would like any other information about Edgar Degas stay in New Orleans or about his 18 painting done, during his visit with Family in New Orleans.

Dearest Julio, Thank you for such a wonderful view. Please let us know when you return again, as you have experienced our true 5-Star service, that is given every day by the Degas House staff and therefore you are a VIP in our books.

We are so sorry we did not see your response sooner. If you respond back and let us know what was wrong with your room, we will correct immediately. We only know about these things when our guests talk to us. Again, I apologize as we are a small staff and I was taking care of father/family medical emergency. Kindest Regards and with much respect, June Director of Sales)

Degas House Museum, Courtyard and Inn is a special place. Meeting people from around the world during our daily Gourmet Creole Made to Order breakfast or our rare Herons during mating season. Please remember The Degas House on your next visit.

We very much appreciate your comments. If it was not for our guests informing The Degas House staff, we would not know about these things. Just wish you would have expressed to us while your here. We use 1000 thread count Egyptian Cotton sheets and must have gotten mixed us with some of the older ones, which were ready to be disposed of. I do apologize that we did not live up to our normal standard of 4 plus ratings for our rooms, breakfast and staff.
