Summary:
Spacious rooms, nice views, front and back yards, and strong Wi-Fi make this a perfect work-from-home spot. Whole Foods is 3 blocks away. Many delivery restaurants!
Walk on the lovely Lafitte Greenway across street from home. Only 0.8 miles to the French Quarter, this home gives you the comfort of a safe and friendly neighborhood vibe while being close to all the action!
The Space:
The house has independent, private bedrooms and 4 full baths. The upstairs and downstairs are mirror images, each with 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The floors are connected by a high-ceiling internal staircase - you do not need to go outside. The upstairs kitchen/living room space is designed to encourage group lounging, cooking, and socializing. The downstairs common space is perfect for large group meals (table seats up to 12) and watching movies or sports from the big comfy sectional. The house has laundry both upstairs and downstairs.
Guest Access:
Guests will have full access to the entire house, the front patio and parking, and the back yard.
The Neighborhood:
Just north of the noise and saturated color of the Quarter is a New Orleans neighborhood that’s perfected the art of living. At the crux of the historic Treme neighborhood, Mid-City, and the University Medical District, the house sits directly on the Lafite Greenway park and bike path. It’s the kind of place where your neighbor invites you to a crawfish boil, a marching band rolls by in a second line parade, and a total stranger may buy you a drink at a pub or a cannoli at an Italian bakery. Enjoy a five-minute stroll up the Lafite Greenway to pick up your delicious morning beverage from Hey! Coffee.
Getting Around:
Take the red streetcar line up Canal to the Cemeteries (Mid-City’s dead neighbors are as interesting as the live ones) or bike the 2.6-mile-long Lafitte Greenway that stretches from the French Quarter to City Park and, conveniently, past a po’ boy shop or two – or 17 – with a sno-ball shop and a micro-brewery thrown in for good measure. Buttermilk biscuits. Live music. A bowl of Vietnamese pho. Who wouldn’t want to visit? Eat. Drink. Get up here.
You will be a 15-minute walk to the French Quarter lots of other places. Also, as mentioned, there is a streetcar line that goes by four blocks from the house and can take you to the central business district or the mid-city cemeteries. For everything else, Lyfts are plentiful and quite cheap!
