About this property

"Josephine" Historic Arts District Condo, Walk to Smoothie King, Superdome & Morial Convention Center, Ports and view of WWII Museum, its that close

Summary:

Historic condo with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a view from the 4th floor walkway.



Historic condo located in the Arts / Warehouse District of New Orleans with walkway balcony. The perfect location for St. Charles Ave. / Uptown Route parades during Carnival Season. A quick walk to Superdome, Smoothie King Center Arena or Convention Center for our beloved Saints football, NBA Pelican Basketball team and so many concerts and events, as well as conventions, trade shows and expos.



The Space:

Discover the allure of this exquisite 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom condominium, boasting a captivating blend of historic charm and modern comforts. Nestled in the heart of New Orleans, this residence features an open concept living room, dining room, and kitchen, adorned with original brick walls that exude the city's distinctive character. The outdoor walkway with sitting area offers a picturesque view, creating a perfect setting for relaxation.



Immerse yourself in the ambiance of high ceilings, tall baseboards, and an original non-working fireplace, complemented by stainless steel appliances including a gas stove, side-by-side refrigerator with water and ice dispenser, dishwasher, and a convenient full-size front-loading washer and dryer neatly stacked in the hallway closet.



The condo hosts a master suite with a private bathroom featuring a tub/shower combo and king bed, and a second bedroom with a queen bed and a separate hallway bathroom with a step-in shower. Privacy is ensured by closing the hallway door, creating an exclusive retreat for the guest bedroom.



Entertainment is at your fingertips with two TVs, each equipped with Roku streaming devices, set in guest mode for your personalized streaming preferences. Stay connected with high-speed WiFi, secured with a password for your peace of mind if work beckons during your visit.



To make you feel truly at home, we provide a thoughtful welcome with bottles of water and Gatorade to keep you hydrated in the vibrant New Orleans heat. Embrace the city's coffee culture with three packages of French Market Coffee, complete with filters for the drip coffee makers, and a fridge stocked with creamers.



For your convenience, we've included extra amenities such as trash bags, dishwasher tablets, Tide Pods, and fabric softener sheets under the kitchen sink, ensuring a hassle-free stay. An elevator awaits within the building, but don't miss the chance to ascend the original grand staircase at the Julia Street entrance for a touch of historic elegance.



This property embodies the essence of New Orleans, with top-of-the-line features, spacious interiors ideal for entertaining, and a charming balcony. The location is unbeatable, offering proximity to Magazine Street shops, the Superdome, Convention Center, WWII Museum, and the French Quarter.

The must visit World War II Museum is a mere 3 blocks away. A majority of the original warehouses that stored all the goods and merchandise off loaded from the Port of New Orleans Steamships have now been developed into residential housing.



Getting Around:

Walking is the best way to get around in the downtown New Orleans and when you get tired, rideshare (Uber/Lift/KrewCar) and taxi's are generally readily available. Or hop on one of our famous streetcars to see two major routes throughout the City. The St. Charles Ave. streetcars are Green and head away from downtown on St. Charles Ave. The Garden District, where you will see the beautifully maintained mansions, passing Loyola and Tulane Universities, Audubon Park, and the Audubon Zoo.

Red Streetcars travel along Canal Blvd. from the Mississippi River out to City Park. The streetcars are cash only, unless you buy a pass.



The Hop on Hop off tour busses circulate around some of the more popular areas of downtown and offer pickup every 30 minutes.

The Algiers Ferry is a fun way to get across the river. It runs from Canal street to Algiers throughout the day. Algiers is a small neighborhood and very walkable. Enjoy a quick bite to eat then just enjoy walking through the historic houses.



Bicycle rentals are is also a great way to get around and can be rented from various locations throughout downtown. There are bike rental options like Blue Bike with multiple locations throughout the city and also tour companies that have guided bike tours.

Thank you Tanya for the 5 Star Review! This really is a hidden gem in the downtown New Orleans Arts & Warehouse District.

The location was perfect for Mardi Gras parades. Check in instructions were excellent we did not have any problems getting into our room. Parking was not great, but we were able to find a spot within a few blocks to leave our vehicle. If you are coming for Mardi gras, I highly recommend paying for the viewing stand.

Thank you Gordan, family and friends for the 5 Star - 10/10 Review of "Josephine" condo in the Julia Building, part of the historic, "Thirteen Sisters of Julia" 1827 built Row Houses or side entry townhouses that were renovated into individual condos in 2012. This really is the best place to stay during Carnival Season and for those iconic rolling parades on "The Avenue", or the Uptown route along St. Charles Ave. at Julia Street. Sure you can stand on the sidewalks, in the street to watch the parades, floats, marching bands, dance troupes, and catch the beads, specialty beads, doubloons', blinky beads, plush throws, and our new favorites of reusable and useful throws like wooden spoons, silicone kitchen utensils, tea towels, mini lunch insulated collapsible coolers, bamboo handle toothbrushes, traditional glass beads, frisbee's, squishy footballs, mini bags of popcorn, Chee-Wees', grits, Red Beans, Mardi Gras soap, and it's not a full Mardi Gras without Bacchus Socks or Zulu coconuts! ( IYKYK! ) but you are so right, being in the reviewing stands to be a eye level and be "handed" all of these throws is so much easier! Hope to see you back for 2027. Our calendar is open now for making your early and short Carnival Season reservations, with Mardi Gras Day being February 9th. Laissez les bons temps rouler with VacayNOLA!

Thank you Sarah for the review. Sorry that we didn't make the 5th star during your stay in New Orleans. We do leave six bath sets in a condo that sleeps 4 guests, and there is a washer and dryer to use as well. There is only 1 set able to fit on the towel bar in each bathroom, and the additional 2 full sets are in each bathroom's vanity cabinets, as well as hair dryers, disposable makeup removing cloths and shampoos and bars of bath soap and 3 rolls of toilet tissue. Under the kitchen sink in containers are extra trash bags, dishwashing tablets, laundry detergent pods and fabric softener sheets, along with a roll of paper towels, liquid dish soap, a sponge and a container of Clorox cleaning wipes. In case you are a coffee person and cannot function before drinking a cup, we also leave 3, twelve cup packets of French Market Coffee, with a handful of liquid creamers in the fridge some sugars and 6 bottles of water and 4 Gatorades in the fridge, complementary, of course, for you to start hydrating as soon as you get to New Orleans, partly because we know how hot and/or humid it can be here. In the queen bedroom closet is the extra bedding for the inflatable mattress, in case you sleep with a snoring travel partner and need to sleep in a different room, so there are 2 pillows, and a sheet set with blanket. You mentioned a yoga mat, that is sad, because the yoga studio closed, we still had a few left over, wish you would have called to ask for items you thought were missing

Nice place, but had some difficulties

This place was nice, but the entrance was very difficult to find and the instructions were not clear. The entry was hidden. But, the host was very responsive and answered right away and helped us find the entrance. Also, the floors were not level at all; it was really odd. But overall, the place was nice.

Thank you David for the review, sad we didn't get 5 Stars, but happy we were able to help you so quickly. Yes, sometimes the Little Easy has the shutters open to block the punch code box for keyless entry and it can be hard to find when first getting to the Arts & Warehouse District of New Orleans. Again, yes those floors may not be level, but that can be expected with a building that is almost 200 years old in New Orleans. This building was originally built in the 1830's and although renovations were completed in 2014, seems some of the settling still happens. We are thrilled you had a wonderful time, over all.

Thank you Becky and family for the 5 Star Review. This is a great location in the Arts & Warehouse District to stay when you need to be a few blocks away from the French Quarter and away from the chaos of Bourbon Street. It wouldn't be a classis New Orleans look if we didn't have all the exposed brisk from this historic building built in the 1830's. All the upgraded features of an elevator and stainless appliances and granite counter tops is a plus, along with the memory foam mattresses, which give you a good night's rest so you can be refreshed in the morning to continue your VacayNOLA! Having The Little Easy downstairs as a neighborhood bar & grill that the entire family can enjoy is great when you don't have to walk far or get a ride share to go eat.

Great condo on streetcar line

Thanks you James and friends for the 5 Star Review. We did change condos for you, as an upgrade so you could have a balcony condo since you did not bring a pet on your travels. We are glad you had a great time in these hidden gems along Julia Street, away from the chaos of Bourbon Street. The Little Easy is our neighborhood Bar & Grill, a great spot for locals and visitors. They do have a quiet time of 8 PM in the courtyard or 11 PM closing time. Yes, we are on the St. Charles Ave. GREEN Streetcar lines, an inexpensive ( $1.25 CASH ) way to tour the City, with the stop at the corner, to get on or off, and another interesting way to spend a little while out on the balcony as you sip a beverage early in the morning or late in the evening.

Thank you Carol for the 5 Star Review. It does not matter which condo you ended up in, we provide the best service we can. We are glad that you liked this condo that you actually stayed in, #202 at The Julia, because of an unfortunate HVAC drain line back-up and leak through the ceiling just 2 days prior to your arrival, into the condo you originally booked, #403 which was pet friendly. Hope you enjoyed the balcony off the condo overlooking Julia Street as an added bonus to you and family. The location is 8 blocks away from the French Quarter, so not as much constant chaos all hours of the day and night, but yes, a little closer to the Garden District and Tulane University for Parents weekend activities. We have a few "regulars" that come to visit students at Tulane, Loyola, Xavier, LSU, Dillard, and University of New Orleans for various parents or family activities and we hope you will become one of our "regulars" of the university families that stay with us. It is sad to see some of these families also graduate from us once the students graduate as well. Many will return back for Alumni events in the future. We do offer discounts to returning guests. Contact us for the current discount promo codes before making your next reservations. VacayNOLA!

Thank you Daniel and family for the 5 Star Review. We are elated that you found this unique gem of a historic treasure in New Orleans. We stayed true to the way the building was built back in the 1830's with the exposed brick and original windows, yet brought the kitchen and bathrooms and other features to today's standards. Can you imagine the heat in this place before there was air conditioning? That's why those smaller windows in the Master bedroom are there to have them open to let the heat out back in the days prior to air conditioning. This condo has a great view of the New Orleans skyline of the WWII Museum Freedom Pavilion and the Crescent City Connection bridge over the Mississippi River. Did you hear any of the ships horns or the calliope from the paddlewheel steamboats? We love this neighborhood and glad you felt safe here. The punch code system on the building main entry doors help too. So glad you met Brian at The Little Easy, he is a character and does have good foods there, plus, it's not a far elevator ride up to the condo, should you have one too many adult beverages... Give us a call before you make reservations for your next visit to get your promo code, we offer discounts to retuning guest. I'll let housekeeping know you appreciated all their hard work.

Thank you Andrew for kind words and 5 Star Review of The Julia. It is a refreshing view from the walkway of the back side of the building, to see the Freedom Pavilion of the WWII Museum and Crescent City Connection Bridge. Did you ever see a times when there was not a back up of traffic on the bridge? This is a great hidden gem of a vacation rental n the Arts & Warehouse District, on the edge of the Central Business District and 8 blocks up to Canal and over to the French Quarter.

Nice but noisy at night

The place was clean and the staff was friendly. It's kinda centrally located as in it's not too far from the French Quarter and also the bus and trolley lines are at either of the corners of the block the condo building is on. It was myself and 3 other female family members staying....plenty of room and we felt safe because of the way they have codes to get into the building, the elevator and the condo. The issues keeping this from being a 5 star review were.... The a/c wasn't working when we arrived the first morning but the a/c repair men were literally getting on the elevator when we were arriving to fix the issue. It was fixed within about 30ish mins and the office credited me the early check in fee as compensation (thank you!). However, the a/c went out again later that evening and was not fixed until noon the next day. It was definitely an uncomfortable sleep that night in the "master bedroom " especially since there is no ceiling fan in that room. As for the "master bedroom"....it's at the front of the building which is overlooking the street (Julia St). The traffic noise at night (cars and the trolley) were very loud at many times and the little bar at the bottom of the building was also a little loud at times but I feel like the traffic noise was way worse and happened all night long whereas the bar closes at midnight so their noise stopped then. They should better insulate the windows or replace them with better ones so the noise is no longer a problem. It definitely made it hard to sleep at night. Other than that the only other thing was small....the provided pots/pans selection is lacking but since we ate out most nights, we made due with what was provided. I'd stay there again if they replaced the windows first.

Thank you Katherine for your review. We are sad that we missed the 5 Star mark. Although the HVAC system was scheduled for a regular preventative maintenance appointment, they did get behind and didn't make it to the condo until you were arriving for your Early Check In, we had agreed to. Refunding your Early Check In Fee was the right thing to do. Unfortunately, even after they had cleaned the coils, blew out the condensate line and changed the filters, the fuse on the air handler blew, because of wires to the compressor on the roof had lost some insulation and touched, causing the power surge. Sometimes we just have things happen. For that we are truly sorry. I hate to hear that you would not stay at "The Julia" one of "The Original Thirteen Sisters of Julia Row" again because of the windows of the building. Because this building was built in the 1830's and is considered "Historic" by the New Orleans Downtown Historic and Preservation District, there are certain elements of the building that has to stay "true to the period" in which it was built, namely the original exposed brisk, shutters and yes, the wood window frames with single pane glass, old or wavy glass is required. In the master bedroom, which does face Julia Street, is up on the 4th floor, those are tilt out windows for ventilation with the living room windows as with all of the other wood frame windows of the building, are weight and pulley systems. Those also have to stay and be used, therefore, we cannot replace the windows of the building. We would love you to stay with VacayNOLA again, perhaps in our other historic building, "The Picayune Building", built in the 1880's, the original home to "The Times - Picayune Newspaper". In this building we have all of the bedrooms in the interior of the building, to block out the street noise, which is common in the downtown area. Please give us a call if you decide to make a return visit so we can offer you our Return Guest Discount Promo Code. VacayNOLA

Awesome

GPS was tricky at first. We stopped at The Little Easy bar for drinks waiting for check in and it stated that the property was located across the street in which it was in the same building. Great location and atmosphere.

Thank you Quincy for the Review. Sounds like VacayNOLA made a 5 Star Review, but the tricky GPS had you walking around in circles, when this condo was on the 4th floor above The Little East. That is such a great little neighborhood bar & grill and not too far to ride the elevator upstairs, in case there may have been one to many... Since the yoga studio closed, they have taken down the sign and we used to say that the door to the building was between those two businesses. Hope to host you again. VacayNOLA!

So central!

We met our college-aged daughters in NOLA for their spring breaks. The condo was perfect for us—located between the Garden District and the French Quarter. We walked everywhere all week. The neighborhood felt safe and was fairly quiet. The staff at VacayNOLA was top-notch with communication and assistance. Plenty of restaurants were nearby and the grocery store, too. We would definitely recommend this condo!

Thank you Lori and family. We appreciate the 5* Review. This corner condo building has all the original charm of exposed brick, original grand staircase and original weight and pulley windows, but all of the conveniences of home with granite, marble and stainless appliances. This Arts & Warehouse District neighborhood is such a mixed use area, any type of food you could want for is here, just walk a few blocks in any direction. This is a large residential area, above the mostly commercial street level businesses. So many of the attractions that New Orleans is famous for are about an 8 block walk. Many have called The Julia a hidden gem. We would love to host your family again. VacayNOLA!

Enjoyed our stay

We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean, nicely laid out, and had all the amenities. We liked that we were in the Warehouse District, so it was perfectly located for us -- in between the Garden District and French Quarters. Would recommend to friends.

So glad you had a great time in New Orleans and loved that you were in the Arts & Warehouse District. It really is a perfect location, quick trip to either of the adjoining neighborhoods, as all of New Orleans is, a beaucoup of communities each having its flavors and foods. We will let Housekeeping know you thought they did a fantastic job. It is amazing how they can "turn" a New Years Eve stay around for you and come into a clean and disinfected condo on New Years Day. Thanks for recommending us to friends and when you are coming back, give us a call to get your return guest promo code for a repeat guest discount. VacayNOLA! VacayNOLA!

Great central location, very secure, with a view

Perfect location between the French Quarter and Garden District, with plenty of local food options within walking distance. Condo was better than the pictures. Bring some ear plugs for the master bedroom if you aren’t used to city noise at night. Very secure location with multiple points of secured entry—felt safe with a great view of the CBD district and partial view of the WWII Museum. We would definitely stay here again as a group of 4 adults. St. Charles streetcar line is under construction but wasn’t very noisy, easy walk to bus stop or next streetcar line. Ubers were constantly within 5-10 min from this condo when needed but we walked almost everywhere in less than 20-25 min.

Thank you Jeremy and friends for the 5* review. This is a great location, right in the heart of the Arts and Warehouse District and yes, so many great local restaurants and eateries from fine dining ( Peche, Sofia, La Bocca, Willa Jean, Emeril's ) to hole in the wall places ( Little Easy & Auction House Market, heck even the Rouses Market grocery store has really good hot breakfast and lunch bar). It is amazing that being on the 4th floor and smaller rectangular windows allow in so much "city noise". I do hate it that they are replacing the asphalt over to concrete lanes for the streetcars, it is much needed, and yes, very loud during the day, but that should pass on to the next block to the south at Thanksgiving. We only got the notice on our door the previous Monday. Glad you felt safe in the building with all the secure entry points of the building. It can get a little frantic during Mardi Gras, is why, but we just kept the doors on the lock mode with either a key fob entry or punch code access year round for about 10 years now. We have been contactless check in for that long as well. Who knew we would have had that in place years before a pandemic?! Isn't the Crescent City Connection Bridge beautiful at night? VacayNOLA!

It was our first parade in 20 months. VacayNOLA!

Great Place to Stay

The Julia was a great place to stay. Barbara was great with providing suggestions for activities to do while in New Orleans. There is so much to do. They provided drinks and snacks for us for our first night. Everything is within walking, trolley, or taxi distance. I suggest you park your vehicle and take the trolley or a taxi. You have to pay for parking everywhere. You will come out cheaper using the trolley ($.25 per trip or $3.00 for the entire day. , a taxi (the most the fee costs was a little under $10 and we had 4 people in our group. We did have a driver from United Cabs who was a little rude, but the others were fairly nice.

Thanks Robert and friends for your time, to write this 5* review. Was I right about parking and walking? Parking is expensive here and yes, $1.25 each direction, per rider on the streetcars is a low cost solution. Those are the "Jazzy Pass" that you can purchase to ride the streetcars, any streetcar, any direction, any time. We do leave water & Gatorade in the fridge for you, as we know how hot New Orleans gets, and it's nice to have a cold beverage waiting on you after being in the car or on a flight, to help relax. Please contact us when you are ready to make another visit, because you can never experience New Orleans in just one visit. VacayNOLA

Would stay again

Clean, comfortable, good communication and good location. 15 min walk from most Elevator was down and stairs not lit at night would be my worst complaint. Light on cookware but sufficient
Response from VrboOwner on 10 Aug 2021
Thank you Ellen for your kind words. I'll be sure to let housekeeping know they did a good job of the cleaning on a regular basis. We are not really sure what happened to the elevator the night before, but the repair has been made and now working. I think we may have had some sort of power surge or lighting in the area, the timer of the common area lighting has also been replaced. I gotta admit, yes, there is not a full gourmet kitchen of cookware and utensils, sufficient, ir accurate, but it's New Orleans! Where else in this world can you get some of the most flavorful, tasty and unique foods?

We loved hosting your family while you enjoyed all New Orleans has to offer. And we do have a lot. It's not all about drinking on Bourbon Street. We have so many eateries within about 6 blocks walk, that you can taste the world's cuisine and our Creole and Cajun favorites, too. We will be here for your next visit.

634 Julia Street

The condo was super clean, and they left drinks to welcome us. It's a great location for walking to restaurants, stores, etc. If you need parking the P130 garage is perfect to just leave your car in. We paid for a week, and it was super convenient.

Thank you Rhonda for your time to let us know you had a great time. We know how hot and humid New Orleans is, so a cold beverage in the fridge is always welcome. Glad you enjoyed! Housekeeping will get a copy of your review so they know they are doing a fantastic job. Thank you for addressing them and all the hard work they do for all of us. P-130 parking garage, ain't the prettiest, by any means, but sure is close, if you wanted to drive around, but why? Ride the Green streetcar up St. Charles for a memorable self guided tour through the Garden District, Greek Revival Mansions, Loyola, & Tulane Universities, Audubon Park and over to Carrollton and back all the way to Canal. We would live to have you come back and visit again. Christmas in New Orleans is amazing! VacayNOLA
