Features:
Apartment is located on the ground floor of a newly renovated "storehouse" built in 1865. The unit with a private entrance has approximately 1200 square feet of living space with 12.5 foot ceilings. The apartment is tastefully decorated in an eclectic style of a combination of antique and modern furniture with just the right amount of New Orleans funk thrown in. Apartment has a fully equipped kitchen, large walk in shower with separate dressing area, and an equipped bar with wine cooler. Furnishings include a buffet, dining table with four chairs, dressing table, king size bed, armoire, desk, extremely comfortable leather sofa, love seat and oversize chair and ottoman.
This comfortable furniture along with central air conditioning and four ceiling fans make this space a veritable oasis for relaxing after jaunts around our beautiful but sometimes humid city. To preserve and showcase the seven restored doors and transoms surrounding the ground floor, the 1865 "storehouse" was designed as a large studio and is better suited as a two person occupancy. However, there is plenty of space available to provide sleeping accommodations for two more guests.
Area Description:
We are located only one block away from the Mississippi River at the corner of Chartres Street and Marigny Street in the historic Faubourg Marigny. Being so closely located to the French Market, the Street Car line allows you fun and easy access to the French Quarter and other attractions such as the Aquarium of the America's, Jackson Square, Café Du Monde, and numerous others. Walking, however, is not a problem as you are only three blocks away from the French Quarter and even closer to the hip Frenchmen Street mecca of bars, restaurants, and jazz clubs.
This is a hot spot where locals come for entertainment and the neighborhood is the point of origin for several Carnival marching parades. This location provides not only close access to the French Quarter but also this location in the Faubourg Marigny allows you a glimpse of the historic past beyond the French Quarter as you marvel at the surviving architecture that has become home to many writers, painters, musicians, and artists of all sorts. The area boasts of colourfully painted homes, trendy restaurants, coffee shops, and clubs with an amazing mixture of all types of people living in this vibrant urban setting.
