About this property

Built in 1865, this classic New Orleans double-parlor, Greek Revival townhouse has been carefully restored to offer visitors an authentic and comfortable hideaway in the heart of the city. The property has original hardwood floors throughout, the home's original staircase, intricate cypress molding, ten foot windows, and towering ceilings; all of the charming qualities that set New Orleans architecture apart. The home has also been updated with energy efficient improvements such as tankless water heaters, energy star rated appliances, fully insulated walls, and more.

The townhouse has two bedrooms located on the second floor along with a large shared bathroom and laundry facilities. Each bedroom has a queen size bed and full walk-in closets. The master bedroom enjoys fantastic light from a pair of large guillotine windows that open on to a second floor balcony where guests may relax after a full day of sight seeing as the sun sets across the Crescent City.

The first floor is designed for all of your entertaining needs with an open floor plan and a full guest bath. The living room features comfortable living furnishings including a sofa, chairs, and cable TV. A dining table seating six occupies the dining space. The kitchen, with composite quartz countertops and new stainless appliances, opens to the living/dining space with a large bar. The stove is a five burner gas stove, satisfying the cook in the family.

Those guests traveling with transportation will enjoy the home's close proximity to many transit options and sights within walking distance, including the St Charles Streetcar, Lower Garden District, WWII Museum, and Superdome.

First time visitors to New Orleans

First time visitors to new orleans. Two couples, all chronologically gifted. But fit. The house was lovely and made us really feel like we were staying in New Orleans. Big tall ceilings big tall windows eclectic Furnishings comfy beds. Lots of thoughtful details like plenty of teepee and paper towels coffee provided water filter. It was a walk to get to the Streetcar but cheap once you got to it. And we soon found our way around town we clocked 14,000 steps each day and there was more than enough to do parades, festivals, food, good food everywhere. Marty the landlord was instantly available for any questions and very helpful would highly recommend this house don't be put off by The Neighborhood which is in the process of being renovated. That didn't bother us at all

Nice place inside; be weary of hosts

**READ BELOW REGARDING HOSTS** We went to New Orleans for a weekend for a wedding. The interior space of the house was lovely and charming, very nicely appointed with beautiful architectural and design elements. The neighborhood was fine for our purposes, but sits out on its own a bit. A ten minute walk to the streetcar, and 30 minute walk into the city. Two days after we'd checked out, we received some messages from the host declaring the cleaning crew had spent all day cleaning the house and that we'd left vomit in several rooms and that towels were missing. Without my consent an additional cleaning fee was assessed to my credit card, despite my explanation and protestations that it was impossible the cleaners were referring to us. After 6 weeks of radio silence from the hosts and endless attempts at receiveing a refund from VRBO, the case was decided in my favor and I was finally reimbursed. I don't know if this is a usual scheme of theirs, but it certainly has put me off of using VRBO, possibly forever.

Exploring NOLA

We had a great stay at Marty and Katie's place. The location was very convenient to the French Quarter. The neighborhood was safe. The house was very nice and clean. We loved every minute of being in New Orleans. We would definitely book this place again.

“Nice inside, scary outside”

The inside of the home was clean, updated nicely, and comfortable. The front outside was shocking with overgrown, unkept foliage, a truck always parked immediately outside the house, large garbage cans left in front at all times, and a neighborhood that was very sadly low income. Our Uber driver from the airport advised us to not walk in the neighborhood after dark.

Gorgeous Property!

Let me start by saying the hosts thought of everything you may need and had it available ! There were 2 bikes available to use and they even had the bike locks and air pump just in case. They also had umbrellas and full size Dove body wash and shampoo/conditioner if you left yours at home. The laundry room was fully stocked with everything you would need ! This home was beautifully renovated and we loved the exposed brick and other original items that were left in the home. The location was perfect and the neighbors were super friendly! 10/10 for sure!

Overall great spot, Marty was excellent and very helpful!

Only reason I removed a little was that there was alot of construction going on in the neighborhood so it was loud pretty early in the morning. Some of us staying are light sleepers so this was a little annoying but still highly recommend. Probably wouldn't even be an issue in the future once construction is complete.

Gem of a Find

Celebrating a friends birthday and was looking for a place close to the more tourist-y areas of New Orleans. This place was perfect! It was close to trolleys or a short (and cheap) Uber away from all of our destinations. The house itself is absolutely beautiful and well done - still holds true to its historic charm! The owners were very communicative and made sure we were all set for our weekend stay. I’d definitely recommend staying here if you get the chance!

This property is a hidden gem in the heart of New Orleans. It reminded me of the beauty and culture that thrives in the “Big Easy.” It exudes a very relaxing essence. You will feel like you are in the comfort of your own home. Also, the owners of the property are very welcoming and helpful.

Great property/location

Initially we thought the neighborhood was a little sketch, but we felt safe the entire time. The street is quiet. The house is beautiful and the location was great for what we planned for the weekend (which was relaxing and hitting up several nearby restaurants). It was a just a quick weekend getaway and I’m glad we chose this house. The house was perfect for my wife and me, but it could easily accommodate a second couple or a small family. I was surprised that there wasn’t a television in either bedroom (but that’s just a personal preference). Everything else was as expected and I was very pleased with the entire process from start to finish.
