Historic charm & modern comfort near Frenchmen St!
A completely renovated, beautiful Creole cottage in the Marigny historic district and steps from the trendy Bywater. Both neighborhoods are full of restaurants and nightlife, including the world-famous music hub on Frenchmen St and minutes from the French Quarter! Legally licensed by the City of New Orleans. A quiet retreat from the action, making it great for 1-2 couples, small families, or business travelers! Sleeps up to 4 people.
This historic shotgun double has been remodeled completely, so you can enjoy an 1850's home with original hardwood floors, decorative brick fireplaces, pocket doors, and 12-foot ceilings--and still get all the modern comforts of fast internet, streaming TV, chef's kitchen with marble countertops and high-end appliances, granite bathroom vanities, central air/heat, tankless hot water heater, and more! Also enjoy a nightcap or coffee on the private galley porch!
The house is close to active train tracks. It is charming but can be loud at night. Guests are provided with white-noise machines and earplugs.
Your space is completely private with a separate entrance. You will have access to the entire home, including a private bedroom, bathroom, laundry closet, gourmet eat-in kitchen, and living area with dining table and luxurious Thomasville pullout bed.
We live next door and are available to offer recommendations, answer questions, and help with whatever you need. We want you to have a fun, private, and relaxing stay!
Neighborhood: The Marigny is "the" place to be in New Orleans; it's full of food and music venues - a mix of long time favorites plus new places opening almost every month.

There are lots of fun bars and restaurants in the neighborhood and in the adjoining Bywater. The house is a short walk to Frenchmen Street and the French Quarter. St. Claude is a block away with all of its restaurants, music clubs and multi-use spaces with tons of terrific music, art and food! Also convenient to City Park and the Fairgrounds / Jazz Fest.

The house is very cute and is in a great location! The only downside is the train is very loud and comes at such random times, but overall really enjoyed our stay.
We loved our time in this beautiful place! It was great - everything we wanted to do was walkable. It was clean, comfortable and full of so many sweet details - the high ceilings, great doors, comfortable beds and so much more. We would love to come back!
Thank you to our hosts for an unforgettable visit. This home is simply beautiful. It’s in the perfect location to see all that New Orleans has to offer and included everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Really enjoyed our stay! Courtney was very quick to answer questions. The place is clean, big, and in a fantastic locale. You'll definitely get the full local New Orleans experience. I definitely recommend it.
This place has very sexy doors if you're easily impressed with gorgeous original details and reclaimed wood. I was very impressed. The location is ideal for being close to everything without being right in the middle of FQ chaos. 10/10 would stay here again. We were very comfortable.
