This roomy apartment is located 1 1/2 blocks off Bourbon Street, 2 blocks from Preservation Hall and Pat O'Brien's, 1/2 block from Joe's Liquors, so it is within walking distance to everything in New Orleans' Historic French Quarter. It features a large, fully furnished and cozy living room with a musician's area. At one end of the huge living area is an 'indoor patio' complete with plants and fountain. The living area has the original hardwood floors, ceiling fans with lights, Bose stereo and cable tv. The indoor patio leads into a spacious kitchen, fully stocked with all cookware, dinnerware, flatware, linens, etc. The kitchen contains a full 4-burner gas stove and oven, electric coffee pot, full refrigerator/freezer, microwave oven, dishwasher, sink garbage disposal and double sink.
The first bedroom is beautifully decorated and contains a king size bed with memory foam mattress, ceiling fan with lights, bedside tables and lamps, cable tv, stereo, lots of drawers for clothing, shelves for personal items and full dressing table with mirror and lights. The second bedroom contains a queen size bed with memory foam and air control mattress, bedside tables and lamps, ceiling fan with lights, one small closet and one huge closet. At the end of the large closet is a stacked washer and dryer complete with laundry detergent and fabric softener.
Last but not least is the full bathroom complete with tub and shower, all bath linens and soaps and more than enough shelves to hold your personal bath items.
This fabulous apartment has central air and heat. It has high-speed wireless internet and is decorated in typical eclectic New Orleans style throughout. Its front door opens onto the sidewalk and street and has a stoop perfect for people-watching. Small parades roll by unexpectedly and there is ample pedestrian/street traffic. Its kitchen door opens onto a small outdoor area with a propane gas grill. Even though it is located only 1 1/2 blocks off Bourbon Street it is amazingly quiet. You will sleep like a baby because the bedrooms are located in the rear of the apartment, away from any noise. Taxi and pedi-cab service are easily hailed immediately out in front of the apartment if you don't choose to walk. Really good full-time neighbors surround this apartment on both sides of the street.
This property also displays some very nice pieces of local art by local artists and is truly one of the best apartments in the Quarter.

The shotgun apartment(home) was awesome. We were able to park right out in front of the unit which is a plus when you visit NOLA. We visit NOLA three to four times a year and this ranks as our favorite so far. Perfect location quiet but just a block away from all that NOLA has to offer. We were also a big fan of Stooping on the front steps. Making our coffee in the morning and stooping on the front porch is awesome. We will definitely stay again!!Recommended for: Families with young children, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

A small group of friends and I decided in January to take a trip to New Orleans for Mardi Gras. Every hotel was booked and the prices of some rentals were very high. We were lucky enough to find this amazing rental right in the middle of the French Quarter for such a great price. Babs was very accommodating, it was a very comfortable stay, we had everything we needed. The location was fantastic, just far enough away to avoid loud noise, but close enough to enjoy everything Mardi Gras has to offer. We had to park our cars far away, but it didn't matter because we walked everywhere! We would definitely stay here again.Recommended for: Girls getaway, sightseeing.

Our stay at this apartment was perfect. The location is ideal for first time visitors as you are in walking distance to Bourbon street and have ample access to cabs when venturing out. The apartment itself was better than expected - the pics don't do it justice! Clean, large space, comfortable. The best part of this rental however was the owner Babs. She was beyond hospitable - gave us great personal recommendations for activities and was communicative throughout the booking process and stay. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. Thanks Babs!!!!Recommended for: Families with young children, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: Dear Allison, Thank you for such high praise! I'm so happy you had a good stay and a fun-filled first trip to New Orleans - it is truly a remarkable, wonderful city! I hope you will return and return often. We loved having you. Yours, Babs Wood

My husband and I and our three kids stayed in this apartment back in the spring. It was such an amazing experience that I just had to write my first review ever! The location is great- close enough that you can walk to everything but just far enough to get a great night's rest. We would stay out sightseeing and run by the apartment for a brief rest or bathroom break. SO convenient. The apartment is lovely, extremely spacious, and immaculately clean. We could not have been more at home. We all hated to leave, in fact. You will not find anyone that's more of a pleasure to deal with than the owner. She was extremely nice and made the whole experience a success. I would recommend this apartment to anyone planning a trip to the French Quarter. You will not be disappointed!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you so much for the great property review. I loved having you and your family; your children were excellent guests!

My Daughter and I stayed here for her 21st Birthday weekend this year, This apartment really gets you in the New Orleans spirit! its only a short walk to Bourbon Street but just out of the way enough to still be quiet! Everything was nice and clean, the beds slept great! it was close enough for us to go window shopping and come back to change and rest before going out for the evening! It was nice having our own kitchen to make coffee in and relax in the mornings but my favorite room was the Living room with all its New Orleans style! I hope to stay here again soon!Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you for letting me hear from you! I enjoyed having you and your daughter as guests and I love that you got to soak up so much of the New Orleans and French Quarter experience. I hope to see both of you again soon.

Had a great stay at this rental! There was plently of room for our group of people, it was very close to the action on bourbon. Yet far enough away to be able to escape when you need to. And there was so much room compared to a hotel. I would definately stay at this location again.Owner response: Dear Fawn, Thank you for taking the time to write a review of your stay in my apartment. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. And I hope you and your girl group come back again soon. It was such a pleasure having you! Babs

My husband, 15 yr old granddaughter and I have rented this apartment several times in past year. It is clean, safe and feels like home. You can walk the quarter all day, go back and have a cold one on the stoop and watch the locals come home from work. It's wonderful to go back and use our own bathroom!! The décor is so NEW ORLEANS!!! What a fun time and the details went smoothly.Recommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, girls getaway, adventure seekers, tourists without a car, sightseeing.
Owner response: Thank you so much for letting me know that you enjoyed your stay in my apartment and the French Quarter. I'm so glad you felt at home here. That is what I always hope for. I hope to see you and your family again soon!

Manager info
About: I have worked in the French Quarter intermittently for most of my life, have lived in many French Quarter apartments and this is by far the best property ever. This apartment is my home, I only rent it out for special seasonal events. You will probably find a few photos of family and friends here and there. I love New Orleans and am proud to share the local experience with others so they can enjoy it, also.
Why French Quarter:
I chose this apartment first of all because for an approximately 400 year old building, it is in great shape plus has the modern amenities that are so convenient. Also, its location is perfect for walking to any location in the French Quarter. Of equal importance is how quiet the bedrooms are at night.
The Unique Benefits at this Apartment:
Every room has at least one large window with beautiful window treatments to let the sunshine in. The bedroom windows have closable window treatments to keep them dark and cozy if you choose to sleep late.
