Owner and artist occupied, this charming Victorian shotgun has been lovingly restored and updated with great attention to details both inside and out. The unique decor includes original artwork, collected curios and textiles from trips abroad. The mix of antiques and contemporary furnishings, quality bed linens and towels assure a stylish, comfortable, and restful stay.
Guest quarters are located in the back of the house accessed by a private entrance through shaded gardens. Entering the apartment places you in the living room which can sleep 2 on one of the pull out queen sized sofa beds. Additional seating and a flat screen TV provided as well. One of three bathrooms equipped with a shower in a claw foot tub is located off this room in the far left corner.
The master suite is also accessed from the living room through a door on the far right wall. Please note it has a separate entrance as well from the back patio in case someone is sleeping in the living room you don’t want to disturb. The suite has a queen sized bed, a twin trundle bed that can be converted into a king, flat screen TV, Kuerig coffee maker, microwave, mini fridge and toaster and a private bathroom with a stand up shower and a jetted tub. The master suite can sleep up to 4 people.
The kitchen is directly to your left off the living room and is furnished with all the amenities, including a coffee maker, microwave, toaster, stove, large refrigerator, dishwasher and washer/dryer. There is a small table that can seat 4.
Through the kitchen is the second queen bedroom that accommodates 2 with a flat screen TV and french doors that open out to the guest patio and gardens.
In a separate building that dovetails the back of the house you’ll find the third bedroom. A former painting studio, this unit is light and airy with a more contemporary feel. The queen bed is in a sleeping loft up easily navigable stairs. The living room below has the other queen sleeper sofa, flat screen TV, walk-in closet, a fold out table that seats 6. This unit sleeps up to 4. Through another well appointed kitchen you’ll find the third bathroom with a shower, washer dryer, and a door to the guest patio.
The outdoor gardens and private patio provide the perfect space to entertain small parties while enjoying the rustle of Giant Timber bamboo as it sways with the breeze. For nature enthusiasts, whether it’s butterflies, cicadas, geckos, and frogs or birds including woodpeckers, hummingbirds, cardinals, jays, red tailed hawks, gulls and the city’s chatty parrots, the local wildlife has found a home or at least a temporary perch in the diverse array of plants and trees of the surrounding gardens.
The guest patio provides ample room for guests to spread out and relax with seating for 4-6 at a dining table, and another conversational seating area accommodating 5-6. Cooking out is easy on the gas grill and outdoor dining accessories like food tents, melamine plates and serveware are provided as well. Seasonal herbs such as rosemary, mint, oregano, and basil are typically available in the old sink planter by the apartment door to add fresh flavors to both food and drink. When in season, Meyer lemons, Kumquats and Blood oranges abound and will be made available in fruit baskets by the herbs.
Off the back patio through a gated entrance is the shared pool with the owner. Recently added, the pool is a gorgeous 50 foot stretch of gentle mineral waters, the latest in pool chemical technologies. Pool hours will vary according to season and owner’s schedule, but usually will be available from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Our stay at Jena Street Social Club could not have been better. The pictures and descriptions in the listing were spot on. We occupied both the house and the back apartment; suiting our needs perfectly and loved the "quirkiness" of the properties.The house was furnished so well and well stocked; plenty of amenities from the kitchen to the bathroom. We really did not need to bring anything, but our clothes with us. Miranda was most helpful in giving us suggestions of restaurants in the area. Our location was close to Magazine Street, the Quarter, St. Charles; really a great location. We would love to stay there again. Thanks so much, Miranda!!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, girls getaway, sightseeing.

One of my best friends found this place for a girls weekend for her birthday. The entire property was so beautiful and perfect. We all thought that this was the best stocked place we have ever stayed at - great accommodations! The owner is a local artist that has taken a lot of care in decorating the entire property. We were able to park right outside. She was very helpful when one of our friends needed to keep her luggage there after we checked out. I can't recommend this place enough for anyone going to New Orleans. I am going back in April and am very sad that the place is already completely booked - but I am not surprised!Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway.

We enjoyed coming home to a quiet and cozy space to relax, decompress, and enjoy each other's company. We were traveling from different Universities to attend a very large conference so we had lots of catching up to do and the house provided just the place for that. The location is also one that provided endless choices for excellent restaurants and entertainment. We will be back again next time the conference is in town.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

Miranda and Leslie were very cordial. We smashed our ipad when we arrived on the street. The pool and a cocktail talked me off the ledge and somehow relaxed me from a stressfiul state. Convenient, centralized spot. It took us ten minutes to park for the Saints game. Just wish the Saints had showed up. We will be back.soon.

I had a reunion weekend with some college friends and we had a blast. The house is very close to the trolley, so getting intown was easy. She was also very helpful in steering us to places where we could hear some really fantastic music. I loved the place. It's very peaceful and the grounds are landscaped beautifully with a lot of interesting accents. Definitely a wonderful place to stay.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

I am a local and booked this house for me best friend's bachelorette weekend...To say it was a wonderful experience is an understatement. The design of the home is absolutely beautiful, comfortable and luxurious. We actually stayed at the house the first night we were there and cooked, drank wine and hung out in the courtyard. I simply can't say enough about this house, its elegance and fine touches placed throughout the house. I will be back for another staycation and will highly recommend this to all.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

A group of 9 fun-loving and younger than their age looking women celebrating their 50th birthday's rented this property...and it was stellar! The beds were crazy comfortable (I slept better here than at my home), and the bedding and linens were soft and fluffy. The layout at Jena Street Social Club worked well for our group and we especially enjoyed having coffee and laughs sitting around the table and chairs in the courtyard. The property was clean, well furnished and super welcoming. Miranda (homeowner), and Leslie (property manager) were lovely and very helpful with answering our questions about the area, grocery stores, etc. We felt safe walking to/from the St. Charles street car and enjoyed having access to the variety of restaurants on Ferret and Dryades street (all within a 2-4 block walk of the house). The neighborhood is nice, and some of us even walked home from Magazine Street (very doable if you like to walk). Seriously... you won't be disappointed. And the landscaping around the property is highly aromatic and lush (gardenia and jasmine bushes, among others). Overall, great location, clean, comfy, memorable and definitely recommended.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

Me and nine of my closest girl friends just returned from a 3 day bachelorette weekend in New Orleans. I knew when I picked Miranda's home it would be amazing and it surpassed all of my expectations. The house was stocked with plenty of clean, high quality linens. I've racked my brain and there is not one bad thing I can say about the home. We actually found it hard to get up and leave the house the first coulple of days. I'd love to tell everyone about how great the house is but then it would no longer be my little secret. There is no doubt that when I return to NOLA in the fture, I will stay at the Jena Street house every time.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, families with young children, tourists without a car, girls getaway.

I was in New Orleans for an 8-day training seminar and couldn't have been happier with my accommodations. I rented the apartment and I felt like I was home. The place was spotlessly clean; the furnishings were charming and in amazing shape (nothing was worn or frayed); the amenities, such as linens and towels, were plentiful and very high quality; the grounds, landscaping, pool, etc., are beautiful. Overall, the place is adorable, comfortable, secure, and perfect for any length of stay in New Orleans. Miranda is a great host and an amazing artist. She's created an incredibly unique and lovely oasis in Uptown. I can't recommend this place highly enough!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, girls getaway, sightseeing.

About the owner: I have been living in New Orleans for over 10 years and can't imagine calling another place home. I love to travel, but the best part of that is knowing I am coming back here. I work as an artist, designer, and avid gardener. I consider my home and gardens one of my best works yet...enjoy!
Why the Owner Chose Uptown-Carrollton:
My home on Jena Street is one of the rare properties in town that have moderately sized houses on larger lots... typically shotguns aren't known for ample yard space. The house was originally situated on a double lot that I have since expanded into the empty lot next door where I've recently installed a 50 foot mineral system lap pool.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
Owner and artist occupied, this property has been lovingly restored and updated to provide you with a stylish and comfortable place to spend your vacation.
A 1952 Routemaster Bus from London situated at the head of a 50 foot lap pool are just some of the newest additions to my home that create a unique experience and memorable stay.
