TWO great private apartment nestled in the heart of the French Quarter. One sleeps 4, one sleeps 2. Excellent rates.
Why spend your time in New Orleans in a hotel room when you can live with the locals! Come home to a roomy, fully-furnished, comfortable French Quarter sunny and bright cottage with an wrap-around balcony!!! Attached to a magnificent home built circa 1844, this lovely cottage is located on Orleans Avenue, between Burgundy and Rampart in a historic and quaint area of residential homes. Safe, secure and with a private gated entrance, our guest quarters are located in a quiet and friendly residential neighborhood - a very easy and short walk to local pubs, restaurants, open markets, public transportation (buses and street cars) and shopping, museums and much more.
We take a great deal of pride in our rental. We utilize a security payment, subscribe to Owner Community, require a copy (both sides) of a photo ID, have a non-negotiable cleaning that promises every client a clean and tidy stay, with fresh linens and towels. Living on the premises also offers us the opportunity to get to know our clients and to be on hand to address any questions or concerns that may arise.
For your comfort we have air conditioning and heating systems, and our unit can accommodate up to 4 people. The bedroom has a comfortable queen-sized bed, sitting area, and connects to the bathroom. The living room has a queen sleeper that is connected to the kitchen/bar area and leads out to the balcony overlooking the private courtyard and gardens. Our living room area features a new sleeper sofa and we have plenty of pillows, blankets and linens to keep you comfy. Our full bathroom has been recently renovated. Shower only.
French doors, hurricane shutters, exposed brick, high ceilings...our condo is comfortably furnished with a mix of antiques and artwork as well as modern creature comforts to make sure your stay is perfect. We provide everything from linens and towels to a full kitchen, including a coffee maker, stove, refrigerator, microwave, and furnished courtyard. We provide you with coffee, cream, tea, plus any special requests - please let us know what you need!
Sit and relax on the balcony and listen to the St. Louis Cathedral chimes, the clip clop of the horse-drawn carriages, the distant sound of the Steamship Natchez's horn. Or join us in the neighborhood for an evening cocktail and meet your neighbors. Up and about early? Coffee on the balcony or perhaps a short walk to the French Market for beignets and cafe au lait...the possibilities are as endless as New Orleans!

Great location and place in the French Quarter
Great location and place in the French Quarter

Our stay here was fantastic. The location is great and is essentially centered and with easy access to Bourbon, Frenchman, Canal, Jackson Square and Louis Armstrong Park depending upon your pleasure. It is quiet with very little street traffic and the place has some character as well with nice hardwood floors plus most modern amenities. It is up a spiral staircase which was no issue for us but should be considered. If you like to sleep late the bedroom can be very dark or if you prefer to rise early just keep the doors open. We did not hang out on the patio but it is set up to be used by guests. The caretaker set us up with an early arrival and checked in on us pro-actively once during our stay.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thanks for the kind words. It truly was a pleasure hosting you guys. Please come back to visit us anytime. Jamie

We recently enjoyed the comforts of this great guesthouse. McKenzie and Jamie were great to work with and very responsive to any need. Jamie had a list of great local places for us to try so we didn't feel quite so much like a tourist and McKenzie even knew a great urgent care facility when a medical issue cropped up. Look down the street and see the cathedral from your front porch. Can't do better than that!Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway.
Owner response: We are absolutely thrilled that you guys enjoyed your stay with us. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we would love to have you stay with us again in the future.

My husband and I celebrated a special birthday in NoLo and stayed in this cool, rustic-chic vacation rental. The location is excellent for strolling around the French Quarter and surrounding areas, like Frenchman Street in Faubourg Marigny, the French Market, and the Moon Walk along the river. The accomodations were very clean and comfortable (very comfortable bed) - much roomier and interesting than a hotel room. The cute kitchen was nice to have; it was well-stocked with items we needed for a few night's stay. We stayed in the quarters that sleep four (pull-out couch); it was quite roomy for the two of us. It's up a winding outdoor staircase, with entry from the main house's garden courtyard. The place is every bit as adorable as the photos. This rental is close to Bourbon Street, but far enough away from the bar scene to be a peaceful respite. McKenzie, the owner, was warm and welcoming. Her manager, Jamie, guided us to nearby eateries and markets, which made our stay feel quite "local." We loved our stay in NoLo, including our choice of accomodations. It's a special "home" away from home. Thanks, guys! We look forward to returning real soon!!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Thank you so much for choosing to stay with us during your vacation in New Orleans. It was wonderful having you guys as guests, and we are delighted that your stay was so enjoyable. You are certainly welcome back anytime.

The listing description, as well as the photos, accurately reflected this wonderful place. McKenzie and Luke greeted us our first evening and got us settled in quite well. They were prompt and friendly when we had questions and requests. We especially enjoyed our daily visitor, their pet cat. We couldn't remember his name, so we named him ourselves, and he became our vacation buddy. We stayed a week for our honeymoon and thoroughly enjoyed the location, the peace & quiet, and the fact that although our hosts were a text/call away...they gave us our privacy as well. (My husband especially liked that.) We also loved that they provided a little heater for the bathroom for us since it was cooler weather when we arrived...we have the exact same thing at home and it made this place home for us. We want to visit NOLA again and we would book this place without any doubt.Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

Superbowl FUN!!

Three of us (my husband, myself and our 21 year old daughter) stayed for six days in the downstairs unit for Superbowl, and it was an absolute blast! It was the perfect set-up for us; we had one room, with a bathroom, and my daughter had her own room and bathroom. Beds were comfortable, and bathrooms were very nice; one is quite a bit larger than the other. My daughter claimed she would be happy living here forever! She had her own entrance as well. We could not have picked a better place, location wise, and comfort wise. Everything was within walking distance, and we did a lot of walking, yet at night we were distant enough from the "partying" for peace and quiet. We loved our mornings having coffee (one morning with beignets) in the patio area, and hanging out with resident cat. The weather was perfect, except for one rainy day/evening, so we ordered pizza to be delivered, and just hung out. The owners made sure that if we needed anything, we could let them know. There was a small issue with the lack of channels on the TV, which was resolved (we really just wanted some Superbowl pre-game show), and the Wi-Fi was really non-existent. But, in the end...who cares...you're in New Orleans!! I would definitely be a return "renter", perhaps trying the upstairs unit next time. It appears that one has a little more of a living room area, which would have been nice. But in the end, you will not be sorry at all with time spent here. My only suggestion would be to have some luggage stands (we had to keep our luggage on floor).Recommended for: Adventure seekers, tourists without a car, families with teenagers.
Owner response: ATT frequently has problems, but we typically resolve that with connecting in the courtyard. So sorry you had connectivity issues - wireless can get crazy in the Quarter during busy events too like Super Bowl and Mardi Gras, so perhaps that was the issue. Great tip on the luggage racks - already placed them in each room! Come back and see us anytime!

Felt like a local when staying in this great, pet friendly guest home! Excellent location for checking out many of NOLA's attractions. Perfect size for two people and two small pups with all the comforts from home. Gated courtyard was not only pretty, but also safe. The owners were responsive and helpful. Hope to make it back very soon!Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.

This is the perfect setting for a getaway to New Orleans. Not only are the facilities excellent but the host and hostess are the best of New Orleans hospitality; anything that is needed for a great stay is available for the asking. The property is located within the French Quarter and parking is not a problem. So much better than a hotel as there is amply room to "spread out". We plan on returning to this rental for Christmas. Thank you again Michele and Luke for a great weekend of home away from home.Recommended for: Sightseeing, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, girls getaway.
Owner response: Loved having you!! Come stay with us again anytime.

About the owner: We live and work in the French Quarter, New Orleans! Living here in the Quarter has always been our dream of ours and now here we are! We are excited about sharing our love and enjoyment of this city with you! Our home is your home!
Why the Owner Chose French Quarter:
We live here permanently and have decided to share our beautiful French Quarter home and garden courtyard with guests. New Orleans is a popular destination location! New Orleans is the perfect mix cultures, sounds, tastes, music, old and new; a timeless place where folks of all ages can live together and enjoy the eclectic mix of life only the French Quarter can provide. Centrally located, visitors to our condo and the French Quarter can stay within the twelve square blocks or venture out to the Garden Districts and Uptown via the St. Charles Street car - a short walk from our condo. And no matter what your taste in food, you'll find it in New Orleans as well as a fabulous mix of live music - whether on the street corner or a late-night jazz club on Frenchmen Street. Locals are friendly and ready to brag about their little historic village, helpful with suggestions on food, drink, art, music, etc., and always able to guide you with clear directions to that exact location you're seeking.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
Staying in our condo allows you to 'live like a local' while on vacation. You'll be in the company of a few neighbors - never a crowd - and without the hustle and bustle of a big hotel. You're in the heart of the residential village of the French Quarter yet just minutes from everything you'll need. Those of us who live here shop daily to the French Market, Rouses' Food Market, fruit stands - each just a short walk away. Enjoy your early morning coffee on your balcony and stay in your pajamas!! Evenings are lovely in our courtyard. Relax on your balcony or in the living room of your condo listening to music, watching television or catching up on some work. With flexible check-in and check-out times you can relax about rushing about to make a deadline. Our home is your home during your stay!
