About this property
Family Friendly Historic Shotgun in Walkable Lower Garden District
Contemporary comfort within old Southern charm! Minutes to attractions! Located in the Historic Lower Garden District, in a safe and eclectic residential neighborhood. 2 miles/15 min to French Quarter, and 12 miles/25 min from MSY Airport. We keep everything comfy, cozy, and clean. After an all-day exploration of New Orleans, you will come home where you truly can relax and regenerate for the next day.
I’ve kept all the elements of a traditional, historic New Orleans home and furnished the space with this aesthetic in mind. These elements are combined with the modern convenience and comfort of custom furnishings, appliances, smart devices, electronics, and services. I offer extensive, high-quality amenities, family-oriented extras for children, safety and security features, and outdoor spaces for relaxation and fun.
My home was originally built in 1919 with many historic details kept intact since it's renovation. It is a type of two-address duplex with a layout called a "Shotgun" style home in New Orleans, also called a railroad or walk-through apartment in other regions. It is newly renovated and features 12 ft ceilings, crown molding, original hardwood floors, original brick fireplaces, mantels, original pocket doors, original transom windows, corbels, gas lanterns, stained glass, large windows, and plantation shutters. From the front porch you can see the tower of St. Mary's Assumption Church, and hear the bells chime on the hour in the distance.
Once inside, enjoy a parlor with multiple streaming entertainment platforms, full kitchen, office space, 2 bedrooms with queen size beds, a queen size pull-out sofa for different sleeping arrangements, 2 full bathrooms, shared front patio and backyard, Wi-Fi, hot tub, and central A/C and heat. I also have a pack n’ play, high chair, children’s dinnerware and bathroom amenities, safety latches and outlet covers. You can rest easy at night knowing that the property has 5 outdoor surveillance cameras, sensors on all doors and windows, indoor motion detector, and 24-hour monitoring service, as well as monthly pest control service. The home is also protected by a whole house, natural gas, generator in case of an electrical outage.
I welcome each reservation with fresh flowers, a welcome card, and a chilled bottle of champagne. I take pride in trying to include anything that a guest may need during their stay. I also constantly update what is available based on guest recommendations.
Other things to note,
I offer discounts on nightly rates, depending on the length of stay. There are no cleaning or extra guest fees. Discounts are reflected in the nightly rate you see at time of booking, depending on the details of your reservation.
My New Orleans Short-Term Rental license dictates that our maximum occupancy is 4 guests and that third-party bookings and parties/events are prohibited. Therefore, I require all reservations to confirm the identity of the primary guest (reservation holder) with a government issued photo ID at check-in before being granted access to the property. A copy of the ID will be made at this time for emergency purpose use with local law enforcement if needed. All areas of the platform profile must match the information on the ID. Failure to provide the proper ID, information not matching the profile, or having more than 4 guests total will result in being denied access. Please have your reservation accurately reflect the number of guests that will be staying.
By using the hot tub, guests agree to read and follow all rules and safety precautions, accept all liability, and will not hold hosts responsible for injury or harm resulting from it's usage. The hot tub is available year round, however host cannot guarantee its full availability on every day of a reservation if it needs to be cleaned, repaired, or drained and reheated between or during stays. Refunds will not be given based on hot tub availability. Guests may inquire about its status at any time before booking or arrival.

About the host
Hosted by Iwona Leonard
I am Polish and I have traveled extensively throughout Europe and the U.S., staying mostly in hostels and STRs, I love meeting new people and seeing new places. The only thing we need in life is the freedom to pursue our dreams. I think that every person before exploring the world should first explore the country they are living in. Someone once told us that when we get comfortable in life we stop living. Therefore I try to step out of our comfort zone and see whats out there.
Why they chose this property
My neighborhood has a very unique, eclectic flavor all its own. Centered around Coliseum Square, the area is one of graceful vistas and curving streets, replete with classical names like Dryades, Melpomene, and Terpsichore. Lee Circle, originally named Tivoli Circle, was envisioned as an anchor for the nine streets that extend from it, all named after the nine muses. The houses here actually predate those of the Garden District proper, since they were built in the early years of the 19th century during the city's upriver expansion from the French Quarter. Today, as in the past, the Lower Garden District is a neighborhood ripe for discovery, filled with architectural gems, magnificent old streets, interesting residents, and a rich cultural heritage that only gets better with time. Take a short walk to Magazine Street where there is something for everyone. Miles of retail therapy can be found all over. Shop rare antiques, luxurious artwork, and stylish boutiques. Choose restaurants, from classic to modern, upscale to casual, and brunch to late-night munchies. Enjoy drinks, from college and neighborhood dive bars to craft cocktails, there’s no shortage of lively spots. Take the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar to the zoo, parks, universities, and cemeteries. You can also walk to local breweries, unique coffee shops, restaurants, and the grocery store. I am about a 5 min walk from Magazine street and about 10 min walk from St. Charles (where you can hop on the oldest Street Car in the U.S.). Drive to the French Quarter is about 15 minutes, depending on traffic. You can also use Uber/ Lyft or rent a city bike. Local buses are available.
What makes this property unique
I welcome each guest with fresh flowers, a welcome card, and a chilled bottle of champagne. I have tried to include anything that a guest may need during their stay and are constantly updating this list based on guest recommendations. I live on the other side of the double and I am always available to help.
