We arrived before 9 pm but had trouble locating the place as the building was completely dark with no lighted signs. (What signs exist are small or placed out of the way, not easily seen.) There is no doorbell so we had to bang on the door to be admitted. The "reception area" is the foyer of someone's apartment and rather messy. It was also lit only by a small lamp. We made our way to the 2nd long set of steps in the dark. The areas in the room that can are in immediate view are shiny and clean. However, look behind the curtain (literally) and there is quite a build-up of dust and dirt. The exposed edges of the floor under the bed are also nice and shiny. But lean over a bit and you'll see how dusty it is. This holds true all over the property. If you have allergies, this is not a place you will be comfortable.
You are literally walking through someone's living space (including food prep area and exposed foods) as you go in and out. The shower, while it has many nice features, is much too complicated to figure out and has no labels on the numerous handles and switches. Speaking of switches, there are So. Many. Lots of them do nothing. And few of them are placed in relation to what they actually do.
And speaking of things there are a lot of - let's not overlook the steps. There are LOTS of them. They are not even, many are shallow and both outdoors and in the railings wobble or are missing pickets. Not a place we can recommend. Also...no breakfast.
Mr. Russell was a great host, very accomodating. Breakfast was great, and he even left a beignet the morning that I missed breakfast. It was great meeting the other folks staying at the hotel as well. Great location, safe area, easy access to cable car. Room was comfortable, no problems at all! Thanks Mr. Russell!

Beautiful old home
Beautiful old home, but in need of some TLC. Owner was very helpful and nice.
The location near City Park in New Orleans was the biggest attraction, the space was roomy, and the staff person was quite attentive to questions, needs and service.
Location great, accommodations awesome and the host Mr.Russell was absolutely wonderful. Street car stop 2mins away so easy traveling to French Quarter and city park across the street! The Homemade daily breakfast is a great way to start your day! You will not be disappointed and this added perk was surprising & very appreciated (open bar)!
We had a wonderful stay! Russ was an entertaining and gracious host. Great location near the trolley. Very nice historic neighborhood. We felt very safe walking around town.
Oakview Bed and Breakfast was magnificent, B+B owner, Russell,.created an incredible environment with fabulous breakfasts and wonderful lodging. He guided all my touring. Oakview was a short walk to the NOLA Trolley that took me to French Quarter. it was very cheap. Russell was always available to meet my needs. He also provided wine. I give Oakview my highest recommendation. Cheers.
Russell is an excellent host. He anticipated our needs and was a great guy to talk to. Breakfast was delicious. The old house has been maintained and updated, without losing its charm. We felt like we were experiencing the real NOLA.
I wish i was able to buy a snack or a ice tea or sprite. There wasnt any stores close by to purchase items so i was pretty hungry and thristy waiting for dinner with friends. I arrived early in the morning so i waited all day without food or something to drink.

After the blandness of chain hotels this eclectic B&B is most welcome. Breakfast is home cooked and enough to keep you going for hours sightseeing. The trolley bus direct downtown runs frequently and is cheap and the stop is just over the road. Beautiful area of the city with a park opposite. Our host, Russell, was welcoming and helpful. Free parking is a bonus.
Short walk across the avenue to City Park and the New Orleans Museum of Art, where my business was. Proprietor totally friendly, seemed to enjoy welcoming guests. (Could talk b'ball, a bonus for me.) Other guests at breakfast--a chef and his wife/business-manager--fascinating. I was on expenses, could've stayed at a luxuriously sterile $350 a night hotel and taxi'd to the Museum, but I like to keep my traveling habits (personal, recreational, business) on the same track, so I picked Oakview mostly for location, partly because it seemed (and was) real New Orleans, partly for price. Turned out I was real smart. Feeling that way is another bonus.
Great location near the trolley and museum. Russell, the host was amazing and the shower is out of this world. Will feel like a stay at your grandmothers

Location was good. It was much more peaceful than to be downtown. A streetcar line is very close by.
Russell is a most accommodating host. The breakfast is ample and quite good. I enjoyed getting to know the other guests at breakfast.
The house is unique.
Great personal service from Russell and good breakfast(albeit at 9am). He makes you feel at home and provides extras like complimentary wine and soft drinks
Very individual B and B. Russell can’t do enough for you. Directly opposite city park which is lovely to walk round and 10 minute drive to the centre of New Orleans. Definitely full of character, which is what I loved about it. Oh and the home made biscuits........ say no more!
The oak view bed and breakfast was wonderful. Only problem was the phone number on hotel.com was incorrect making it difficult to communicate with the owner. A link to the oakview on hotel.com would also have been helpful.
Wifi internet and cable did not work in our room. Also, the owner was very unprofessional. He was yelling in front of us about the previous tenants using up all the ice, including the expletive “God****”. He also made sure to make a rude comment when we left about us not eating his breakfast. Not a hospitable stay, but the room itself was fine.
