About this property

SHOT OF BOURBON

Live like a local in this gorgeous creole cottage built in 1823 that leads to a private courtyard.

We have taken great pride in our historic home and went to great lengths to make sure we restored it with as much original charm and integrity as possible. It has been professionally decorated with local art throughout. Studio Apartment with Full Bathroom and walk in shower, closet and living space.

The kitchen is state-of-the-art w/every amenity including travertine floors, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances.

Each room has its own balcony. When you are finished wining, dining and dancing the night away to our famous jazz, walk back (home) and enjoy a nightcap on the balcony for the best 'people watching' in the world! The house also has a beautiful courtyard to enjoy your morning coffee or a Bloody Mary...we don't judge!! The ground floor of the building, true to Creole Cottage tradition, has been occupied by a corner grocery/deli since the early 1900's, it is open 24hrs in case you need a late night burger or a few incidentals.

So come to New Orleans and 'pass a good time' ya'll!!!! We have world renowned restaurants and a nightlife that has to be seen to believe! We've got festivals for anything you might think of and then we do Jazz Fest, French Quarter Fest and Mardi Gras just to show the world how to throw a party!! We've got people so friendly you'll never forget them, jazz bands and food so good you might want to never leave! But just remember, when you get back home...you're gonna know what it means to miss New Orleans!!

An amazing place to spend our time in the quarter. The ambiance of the beautifully decorated luxurious condo is really too much to ask. Sitting on the balcony enjoying sunsets and people watching was my favorite place to be. Need anything at all.. 24/7 grocery right down stairs. I love being able to walk to nearby restaurants, French market, gift shops, Jackson Square, Riverwalk, movies, 💃 AND!!! a garage for your personal car. Worth every penny.... Extremely reasonable for all the amenities offered. Amazing!

April in the Quarter

We had a great time at this beautiful old home in the French Quarter. The balconies are great for a meal, hanging out and people watching. The courtyard is also a great hang out and relax spot. My husband loves to cook on vacation and the kitchen is great. We had a fabulous time here! The only disappointments were that the jacuzzi tub was not working and a table on the balcony was missing its top. (We found a creative remedy for that with very little effort, though!) Overall, we loved this place!!

Another great time at the river!

This time around we brought a big float, and anchored in the middle of the river - we didn't see another person for hours! I cannot rave enough about the peace this place has to offer, not to mention private river access, and a cute (and cold/fabulous AC) cabin to go back to when the water adventures are done. This is truly a one-of-a-kind find, and I look forward to going back again & again.

BOURBON HOUSE

This home is in an excellent location overall. On Bourbon and also close to French Market and Marigny. There is a deli downstairs with the basics and sandwiches. The courtyard and balconies were great. The street noise level was still there but less than a few blocks down Bourbon. Unfortunately there was a reconstruction process in the deli so the noise level was pretty annoying for 2 days. They did stop the overnight construction when they heard we were staying upstairs - very courteous :) Overall it was charming place with great neighbors and close to everything in the French Quarter!

Best Location!

We stayed her with another couple and had the time of our lives. This location could not have been more perfect. It is far enough down Bourbon to not be crazy loud l night. But still close enough to people watch from the balcony all night long. It is perfectly situation for an easy walk to the French Martket on Decatur, to Frenchman St, or to head up Bourbon St or Royal. Also only a few minute walk to Jackson Square. The property was located above a 24 hour convenient store/deli, which was great. We were able to pick up sandwiches on the way home from bars at any hour of the night. Courtyard was awesome, along with the garage bar. Highly recommend this place and will definitely stay there again next time I go.

Weekend New Orleans trip marred by stressful access issues

We had a stressful problem with this trip. The entrance to the property had a broken lock one night and without the help of a local tenant who heard our struggling, we would not have been able to get in. The next night we were gone all day, to return at 1130 pm and find that the lock had been replaced but that the code we had been given no longer worked. We were in a situation with almost no cell phone battery and no way to get into the unit. We contacted the owner via email not knowing whether she would even receive it at such a late hour. She did respond in about 15 minutes with a new code but did not offer an apology for changing the code without telling us. Obviously any stay in the French Qtr will be noisy, but if you stay here you should expect a lot of noise from the deli below which serves breakfast starting at 2:00am. You will want to have a sound machine and/or earplugs.

User error.....it happens all the time when guest have been out all day!!! She emailed me at 11:30pm after being out since 9am....I emailed her back immediately! Every guest also have my cell number....why she emailed from her phone instead of calling ....I have no idea! I guess the same reason she couldn’t figure out how to open door after a long day on Bourbon St!!! I’m glad she had a good time!!! ;-)

5 stars are not enough!

If you are considering renting this property just go ahead and stop looking any further, this place is absolutely stunning! My friend and I just spent a few days there this past week and were blown away by how beautiful it truly is. We spent hours just ogling the furniture and fixtures. To say the décor is beautiful is not simply enough-it is stunning! The location cannot be beat. It is on Bourbon Street with a great balcony for late night people watching but it is far enough out of the mayhem that you do not have to contend with the noise. It has a real neighborhood feel and you can tell that most of the surrounding places are lived in by locals who know each other well and always have a friendly wave for each other. I am already trying to figure out when I can book my next trip to New Orleans and, when I do, I will not even bother looking for anywhere else to call home. Thanks to the owners for the amazing and unforgettable opportunity to stay here!

Fantastic for a family of 4.

We are returning home from a fantastic week in New Orleans. The character, comfort and convenience of this rental were a big part of a memorable trip. My family, including a 10-year-old and a 15-year-old, found this to be a perfect base for our week. The condo above the Quartermaster Deli is very old (The Oldest Creole Cottage in the French Quarter) and full of charm just like the city itself. It is clean, fully stocked, with ample space for the four of us. We enjoyed watching weddings come down the north end of Bourbon Street from the balcony. One day, during a afternoon “break” we were surprised by a local Junior High Marching Band coming up the street. Beds are comfortable, noise is a non-issue. Convenience is key for us, and we were able to walk to everything. Restaurants, shopping, tours (including a fantastic bike tour to the Garden District), streetcars to get just about anywhere (City Park, Oak Street), French Market, Frenchman Street, Jackson Square, The Treme, Armstrong Park...almost everthing was in walking distance or a short streetcar ride.The kitchen in the unit seemed pretty well stocked, but we really didn’t use it much...too many good local restaurants. If wondering about Bourbon Street with kids, the unit is at the “quiet” (relative) end of the party. If you want the scene of the Bourbon Street party it’s there.... If you don’t, it’s easy to walk around it. That said the kids enjoyed all of it. This was a perfect one-of-a-kind home for a week in a one-of-a-kind city. My only word of caution is that the car bar, while fantastic, is a car bar.... We were able to stuff a Honda Oddysey into it it’s some difficulty, but it’s probably more suited to a Mini. A fantastic stay. My krewe is looking forward to another visit, and we’d stay here again. Prondre du bon temps.

Wonderful French Quarter home

Spent a long Thanksgiving holiday weekend in NOLA with my wife & adult daughter. This property is in a great location. Just a couple blocks from all the action and restaurants, and just far enough away to avoid most of the late-night noise. Having a garage was a huge plus. The house itself is fantastic. It's a cozy little slice of history. So much more interesting than the hotels I have stayed in on my previous trips here. Booking, check-in & check-out could not have been any easier. The owners were very quick to respond to questions. This is a place we hope to come back to time and again.

French Quarter Gem

Thank You Dana and Ron for opening your gorgeous French Quarter home to us on our recent stay in New Orleans. My husband and I have been to the city three times before and have stayed in some great places but this was by far- THE BEST!!! This time we were traveling with great friends and wanted a perfect location that really embraced the personality of the city. This certainly hit all of the bells- location truly cannot be beat. Right on Bourbon close enough to be near the revelry but far enough to avoid the noise and get a restful night of sleep. The home is built in the early half of the 1800's (1820's I think I recall) and really has a unique and gorgeous character embodying all of the wonderful architecture of its time while still providing the modern conveniences that make this home such a pleasure to enjoy as home base. The bathrooms are a great size- very important update that we truly appreciated:) The car bar was an awesome place that we didn't get a chance to enjoy since we were on the go but would have been great to watch half of a Saints game there :-) Kitchen was great and well- appointed although the Quartermaster deli provided some delightful eats and CC's had awesome coffee so we only stored bevs in the fridge- why would I make my breakfast in a city with SOOOO much food to offer!!!! The residence has no laundry inside but not to worry- "Suds Dem Duds" is right across the street and did a great job, my laundry was even gift wrapped- No Joke! The courtyard was charming with the foliage and tranquil sound of the fountain upon entry and exit of the space. What more can I say- you will not be making a mistake if you book this beautiful and well-preserved home from Dana and Ron- Truly Spectacular- a Million Thanks!!!

Dana has been a wonderful host for our trip. This is a MUST stay place!!! The decor and layout are so amazing. We stayed with a party of 6 women and it was great that 2 full bathrooms were available. The courtyard is breathtaking and all the balcony’s are a fun perk. There is a one car garage....... yes a garage ...(RARE) Hands down one of the best places and we were lucky enough to have stayed there!!

Loved this place! So authentic and conveniently located!

I rented this place for my 30th birthday with a few friends and it was fantastic. Beautiful furniture and such comfy beds. The balconies were my favorite part though. You are right off Bourbon St, so we didn't need an Uber because we were so close to everything we wanted to see. Check in and out was a complete breeze and I would highly recommend staying here. When I visit NOLA again, this will be the first place I look to stay.

Perfect Weekend in the Heart of NOLA

By far our favorite VRBO-find to date. We had such a great time and were walking distance to everything. It's just a few blocks off the Bourbon Street craziness, so you don't get all of the noise and late night partying but you can be there in a matter of minutes. The home itself is spacious, comfortable, and decorated so NOLA-esq. The neighbors are kind and helpful. When we not exploring the city, we were relaxing on one of the many balconies. The garage was a life saver... just cannot say enough about it all! We had such a memorable experience and cannot wait to come back!

We loved this cottage! It was perfectly decorated and situated for a true New Orleans experience.

The property was beautiful and so unique. Perfectly located to experience the excitement of the city off one of the many balconies but just far enough from the craziness to relax. The courtyard was such a fun place to relax after coming back. The convenience of the garage was amazing!!! We have been to New Orleans 5 times and this was our favorite place! We would love to stay again in the future. We even found a picture of the actual cottage on a tile in one of the shops......so fun!!!

A real French Quarter experience!!

As described. Large and comfortable with nice courtyard and balconies. It is an old building and doors stick etc. Even though in the residential part of the Quarter it was a bit noisy at night; from our view just part of the experience, but some people might wish to take a sound machine with them. I recommend this property for what it is... a real home (second floor) in the French Quarter.
