THE PROPERTY
Discover an idyllic New Orleans hideaway where historic character meets relaxed, inviting style. Built in the 1860s, this charming cottage studio is located in the Marigny Bywater, a bohemian enclave just blocks from the French Quarter and the lovely Mississippi River Crescent Park. From the adjoining cottage garden you can hear the distant steamboat whistles and foghorns—the unique sounds of New Orleans.

The intimate bijou (approximately 500 sq ft) shotgun-style studio is accessed through the adjoining garden and feels cozy yet airy with elevated 11-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, cooling ceiling fans, and abundant natural light. Elegant French doors open directly to the garden, while classic French windows enhance the bright, architectural charm of the space and invite in soft natural light.

Inside, the studio features 1 bedroom with a queen-size bed and 1 bath with a step-in clawfoot tub and shower—ideal for unwinding after a day in the city. The kitchen includes multiple coffee-making options (French press, pour over, single serve, moka pot), and is fully stocked with food amenities, and a washer and dryer inside the unit. Central AC and heat controlled remotely by guest. This peaceful setting offers reliable high-speed internet and a Roku TV with Netflix, Hulu, Max HBO, and more making it ideal for both relaxation and remote work.

You’re walking distance to the French Quarter, Frenchmen Street, and the Crescent Park/Mississippi River, as well as an exceptional dining scene that includes local dining favorites such as N7, Paladar 511, and Evviva, Michelin-recognized restaurants, and James Beard Award winning bars. Just steps away are Who Dat Café or Hotel Peter & Paul’s Elysian Bar (restaurant housed in a former cathedral from the 1860s) for brunch. Nearby are art studios, galleries, outdoor markets, museums, cultural centers including Studio Be and the Marigny Opera House, Crescent Park and the Mandeville Street Wharf, plus easy access to food markets including Robert’s Market, and the neighborhood food co-op.

With direct access to a southern garden space and an unbeatable downtown location, this cottage studio offers a rare blend of walkability and understated historic charm —an ideal base for experiencing New Orleans in a relaxed, authentic way.

Marvelous Marigny Retreat

This little gem gleams. The location is fantastic — just a short walk to a variety of eating and drinking spots, from upscale fare to dive bars. The beautiful backyard is a relaxing retreat from city bustle and the comfortable interior has all the amenities we could ask for. So glad we rented this jewel, whose hosts are impeccable.

Great place in great location

Stayed here with my wife for a long weekend. Perfect for a couple, charming, comfortable and well appointed. Love the neighborhood, it’s quiet but close enough to everything. We had a car and never had a problem finding street parking, but most everything we wanted to do was within walking distance of the property. The host was friendly and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

Perfect NOLA vacation for two!

We loved this sweet space! It was clean and fresh but had all the character and patina that you hope to experience in an old historic place like New Orleans! And the location is great! You feel like a local, but all of the "main attractions" are within walking distance! We discovered lots of wonderful dining places in the neighborhood as well! You can't go wrong with this charming little home!

Marigny gem

We loved staying in this lovely and comfortable cottage for two and so will you. You can expect gracious hospitality and lovely neighbors. The backyard is enchanting, especially at night. There are many terrific food options in the neighborhood including a grocery store, all within a few blocks. We loved the almond croissants from Jasmine at Zoe’s Bakery in City Market. After three weeks here we still were not ready to leave. See you again, Michelle and thank you.

Michele was a wonderful host. She responded promptly to all of my questions and provided great recommendations for places to go in the neighborhood. She checked in via text during my stay to see if I needed anything while giving me lots of space. I loved the decor and furnishings, and the private courtyard in back was the perfect place to relax with a cool drink after a busy day. The neighborhood is quiet and safe and it is a 15 minute walk or less to grocery stores, bike rentals, coffee shops, amazing restaurants and a major busline to the French Quarter and downtown. If you like music, Frenchmen Street is lined with clubs and just a few streets away. I would recommend this cottage to anyone traveling to New Orleans who wants a comfortable and charming place to stay while experiencing another side of the city.

Accomdations matched listing

The accomodations was just as described in the listing. It was cute, had everything you would need and the neighborhood was very quiet even on Friday and Saturday nights. The property was clean and the fenced back yard was nice especially while enjoying some coffee. There is a little coffee shop just 2-3 houses down that had great breakfast and baked goods. I would recommend staying here if you are visiting NOLA.

Hidden Gem

My husband and I were very comfortable here for our first visit to NOLA. Michele was a perfect host, very responsive to our questions and requests! The cottage is just as described. Super clean, easy check in and out. Fun antique decor with special touches throughout. Multiple spices, condiments, coffee available in the home. The bed is comfy with soft linens and fluffy towels. We also enjoyed relaxing on the patio after a day of sightseeing! Just a short walk to the French Quarter, Bourbon St. and the Riverwalk. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend for a great time in NOLA!

Great location

This rental is very nice and clean. If cooking is your thing you'll find just about everything you could need to create a meal from spices and oils to pots/pans/utensils and serving platters (except a microwave) and you can eat it all in the lovely courtyard. There is a very nice grocery store about 2 blocks away. The bathroom was a great size and the water pressure is very nice. If you are a larger person you may struggle with some of the spaces in the house but overall the space was comfortable and nicely decorated. Location is the best and you can easily walk into frenchman and the quarter.

Cozy little studio just outside FQ!

This is my first VRBO property rental and it did not disappoint! Let me start by saying our host Michele, was awesome. Not only was she really attentive but she was also very understanding. I had a little issue with my Dog and she helped me calm down and really enjoy my stay. She was also really thorough with house rules and I really appreciate that. The Studio. It was such an amazing cottage. When we got there I can't help but think of all the history it's seen. If you're looking for a huge space this may not be for you. But me, my partner and my dog were just fine with the space. It is well stocked with supplies and things you might need. My favorite part is the small garden space out back. You can have your coffee and or read a book. Now while all of the above are strong selling points for this property, I made the choice of booking this because of the promised location. It is really close to the FQ, unfortunately I didn't time our walks, I got distracted looking at all the history around us. Even if you didn't want to go to the FQ, you are always close to a cafe, restaurant or a bar. We will definitely rebook if we get another chance!
