"Brigette" Balcony on Julia Street! Newly renovated condo in the Arts District

Thank you Melissa for the 10 out of 10 rating for "Bridgette", in the 1828 built "Thirteen Sisters of Julia", side row houses. Fantastic to have all those modern conveniences of stainless appliances, granite counter tops, and an elevator, mixed in with all those original features of the building, like the original ( non-working ) brick fireplace with iron front and marble mantle, original weight and pulley wood framed windows with antique glass. It is a hidden gem in the Arts & Warehouse District of downtown New Orleans. So many attractions and adventures are a walk away, and more of the restaurants where the locals eat are up Julia, towards the River, even The Little Easy, is a neighborhood bar & grill for quick meals or nightcaps, with only an elevator ride upstairs to get back to the condo. Having an iconic New Orleans balcony to enjoy coffee in the mornings, or sip cocktails in the evening while feeling those nighttime breezes or people watching can be very relaxing after a day out on the town. We would love to host you again. Make sure you contact Barbara to get the current Return Guest Discount promo code before making those future reservations.

Thank you Allison for the 5 Star Review. This hidden gem of a condo in the Arts and Warehouse District of downtown New Orleans is so very convenient to so many of the restaurants, attractions, Morial Convention Center, Superdome, Smoothie King Center Arena, WWII Museum and the list goes on and on. A full service grocery store is 3 blocks away, perfect to grab a few snacks, or beverages to enjoy out on the balcony as you people watch or wave to the folks riding the St. Charles Ave. Green Streetcars as they roll on by. Hope to see you again soon, VacayNOLA!

Thank you Gale and family for the 5 Star Review of "Brigette", one of the original, historic, 'Thirteen sisters of Julia', a building on the National Register Of Historic Places - Julia Street Row. It is a hidden gem to come back to, and away from all the 24/7 chaos of the French Quarter. I can say that I am sure Barbara provided you with her information overload, to make you feel like a local, and Candace made sure the housekeeping staff was in top order. How blessed we are to have such detailed employees that love the job they do. We would love to host you again.

Thank you Craig and family, so glad you had a wonderful time in New Orleans during Holiday Season. Thanks for the 5* review. Give us a call when you are ready to make a return trip. VacayNOLA!

Thanks Amanda for short yet concise words. The food, yes, there are several awesome eateries, from 5* to hole in the wall places and we walk to them for breakfast, lunch or dinner, even the Rouses Market to pick up groceries when we stay in to eat. Everything is so close. Now that concerts are coming back to Smoothie King Arena, this is the perfect location to stay for concert weekends. We are so glad Barbara was able to assist you with any questions you had. contact her when you are ready to come back, soon we hope. VacayNOLA!

Thank you Stacey for the 5 Star Review. We enjoyed hosting you. We cannot express what a perfect location The Julia is. Eight blocks to the French Quarter, may seem like a long walk, but at night, it is far enough away that you don't have all of that chaos out of your windows, same 8 blocks to the Morial Convention Center or Smoothie King Center Arena and the Superdome. And the restaurants, don't even get me started on how many there are within 2 blocks that you can walk to! Thanks for the mention of how hard our Housekeeping Staff work to clean the condos. They take great pride in making sure you feel comfortable and at home when you get here and have those few little extras, like the cold bottled waters and Gatorade's in the fridge, because they know how hot it is here and it is best to get hydrated as soon as you get in, after traveling. When you are ready to make another visit to experience any of those things you maybe didn't get crossed off your list, we will be right here, for you. Make sure you give us a call to get your Return Guest Discount Promo Code before you make reservations. VacayNOLA!

Thank you Jocelyn for your 5 Star Review. We loved hosting your traveling party. I cannot tell you how much we enjoy hearing about your adventures while here. So many only want to go to Bourbon Street, that's about a 20 minute walk and ok, been there done that, now what!? Thank YOU for the information about your group taking the cooking class. So many wouldn't think of that. You get to be guided by a Master Chef and chop, season and eat your own masterpiece! Now that's a dinner out with friends that you will never forget. Have you made that at home yet? When you brag about your New Orleans visit, how many want to come back with you?

Thank you Jill and family for the 5 Star Review. We cannot express enough what a great location The Julia is to all the attractions in downtown New Orleans, that is away from the 24/7 chaos of the French Quarter. We love The Little Easy, the bar & grill on the street level of the building, a quick place for a bite and beverage, or two, with no worries about staying late and having maybe more than a couple, when getting back to the condo, which is right upstairs. Joe & Blerta, owners of The Little Easy, are happy to make new friends, at this neighborhood bar & grill. So glad the VacayNOLA team was able to help you when there was an issue with your flight, and able to come back for another night stay. Elated to see you think this condo is the place to stay when in New Orleans. On your future visit, contact Barbara to get the current Return Guest Discount promo code so you can VacayNOLA!

Thank you David for this 5 star review. The Julia's balcony has a great view of Julia Street and St. Charles Ave. including the Green streetcar stop at the corner. Give us a call when you are ready to VacayNOLA again.

Thank you Timothy for the 5 Star Review of the Julia, one of the original "Thirteen Sisters of Julia Row". It's not nice to say a woman is older that you think, but in this case, these 'side row' townhouses were built in the 1830's, so give the 'ol girl the credit of another 40 years to still be standing and well built ( although, she did have some major cosmetic and reconstruction work done in 2012). We kept as much of the original workmanship as in the original fireplaces( now, non-working) and mantles, the staircase at the entry and even the couple of stairs in the condo itself, along with all the original exposed brick throughout the condo and entire building. The best part is, it's good to have all those modern conveniences of indoor plumbing, electricity, internet, Roku ready TV's and granite countertops with modern stainless appliances. This was a very exclusive address back in the day! We love this location and the proximity to al the things you mentioned. Many don't realize that some of the best dining is only blocks away, and not all in the French Quarter. Which is another great asset, far enough away from the constant chaos of Bourbon Street, but still a 15 minute walk to get to it. We do offer discounts to RETURNING Guest. Contact us to get the most current promo code, before you make those future reservations. VacayNOLA!

Thank you for the review. We want you to know exactly what you are renting, and we strive to make the condo appear exactly as you have seen in the photos, when you walk in. See you back next year!

Thank you Barbara and friends for the 5 Star Review and the kind words about this gen in the Arts & Warehouse District of downtown New Orleans. Yes, it is a little bit of a walk to the French Quarter, but there are so many other things that are closer to you in this neighborhood. This is a very walkable area to many of the attractions of New Orleans, if your main reason to visit isn't spending all of your time in the Vieux Carre. Isn't that balcony great? A nice place for morning coffee or evening beverages. Just a plus to people watch and wave at the passing streetcars as they roll by along St. Charles Ave. When you are ready to make that return visit, give us a call before you make those reservation to get the most current Return Guest Discount promo codes.

Thank you Sarah for the 5 Star Review. Good to know you were able to get in some all important family time while working. This is a really great hidden gem in downtown New Orleans, away from the chaos of Bourbon Street, all hours of the night. This is quite the historic building, built in the 1830's and so walkable to many of the attractions, art galleries and restaurants. This building has a total of 20 condos, but only 5 are vacation rentals, so it is a very popular location for tourist and residents alike. We would love to host your family again. Contact us prior to making your future reservations to get our current Return Guest Discount promo code. VacayNOLA!

Glad you ladies had a great time at the concert and got to chill on the balcony of "The Thirteen Sisters" on historic Julia. We appreciate your kind words towards our staff.

Thank you Lisa for the 5 Star Review. So many guests come to New Orleans and only thing of Bourbon Street. As you noticed it is not that far away, but then, it is a lot quieter at The Julia, not in the middle of all that 24 hour chaos. Sounds like Barbara followed up with you on all your questions, which she loves to have this interaction with all the guests, preparing them for all New Orleans has to offer. If you had a relaxing time on the balcony for the LSU vs FSU football game, you should come back for a Saints DOME game weekend, or better yet, Mardi Gras! You can still watch the parades roll along St. Charles Ave., and be above all the crowds, people watching and sipping on your own beverages for a weekend of excitement and entertainment, no doubt! We would love to host you again. VacayNOLA

Thank you Sandy for the kind words. We strive to give you as much information as we can so you make the best decision for your family or friends staying in New Orleans. VacayNOLA is a wonderful find. Can't wait for you to make a return visit and see more of what our city offers in history, food, architecture, food, music, food, sports, food, fishing, tours and did I mention some of the best food in the world? We offer discounts for returning guest. VacayNOLA!

Thank you Lee for your time to let us know you gave "The Julia" a 5* review. If you read the historic places sign out front, this 600 block of Julia Street was a very exclusive address in the 1830's when the building was built. It has that classic New Orleans exposed brick, original (but non-working) fireplace and beautiful hand carved mantel, original floor to ceiling windows, which allow for balcony access to watch the people and traffic, and the streetcars along St. Charles. I know there were no streetcars running during your stay dates, they were still working on the rails and overhead lines, some from Hurricane Ida damages and others, like the rails replacing the surrounding asphalt over to concrete, but at least is wasn't as noisy over night when the street cars roll by. This location is great if you are not all about Bourbon Street. It's still an 8 block walk, but that is nothing as you can still sightsee all these old buildings and the skyscrapers of the modern world. Kind of like how we decorated this condo; original building features mixed in with stainless appliances, granite counter tops atop solid wood cabinetry, yet stayed true with marble in the bathrooms. Just like home, there are TV's in each bedroom and in the living room. So glad you liked it and had a great time. Now you know where to stay on future visits. Give us a call before making that reservation to get the return guest discount code. VacayNOLA!

Thank you Nicholas for the 5 Star Review, it was our pleasure to Host you. This is a true hidden gem in the Arts & Warehouse District of downtown New Orleans. It is a wonderful, culturally rich yet quiet neighborhood to be in. Yes, the balcony is a special place to sit outside with a cup of coffee in the mornings, watching all the commuters walking about or an evening cocktail just people watching. We truly are blessed with dozens of fine dining restaurants and even a few hole-in-the-wall places, too. We will be here when you are ready to make a future visit. Give us a call to get the current return guest discount code before making your next reservation for a quick getaway. VacayNOLA!

Thank you Timothy and friends for the 5 Star Review of #202 at The Julia condos. This hidden gem in the Arts & Warehouse District of New Orleans is not only historic, but is still so close to all that downtown New Orleans has to offer a visitor. Walkable to so many restaurants where the locals' eat and not all touristy driven on the pricing, Gallery Row is right here on Julia Street, WWII Museum is 3 blocks away, French Quarter is 8 blocks, so close to get to, but far enough away that you are not part of that constant chaos. We do have a wonderful staff at VacayNOLA and couldn't do without any of them. Thank you for the special mention of our housekeeping krewes, they truly are the backbone of keeping the condo clean and tidy.

Thank you Randy for your time to write this review. Sounds like you really liked the property, location and the layout and size of all the rooms. This owner chose Roku streaming so it would give guests the option to sign in to their own streaming services using your own account and passwords, but, you are right, who comes to New Orleans to watch TV?! The rates were a little higher based on supply and demand. You were here during the NCAA Men's Final Four Tournament and we were close to being sold out for almost a year, in addition to being Spring Break. If you can stand the humidity and sweltering heat, the summer months are when our rates are at the lowest.

Thank you Bryan for your time of this 5* review. We appreciate that you had a great time, and your only issue was no on site parking. With the historic "Thirteen Sisters of Julia Row" building built in 1830 - 1835, there were no automobiles, so no need for garages or parking spaces. As this location is in the downtown area, everything was walkable, and still is. We do let everyone know that there is pay parking about half a block away from the punch coded main building entry door on Julia St. Hope to see you on a return visit. VacayNOLA Team

Thank you Peter and friends for staying in "Brigette" during JazzFest. Sorry we didn't get all 5 Stars. It IS a great property in downtown New Orleans so walkable to many of the attractions, WWII Museum, Art Galleries, restaurants yet far enough away from the constant chaos of Bourbon Street. We are sorry that taking out the trash was an issue, but we prefer to not have bugs and pest in the condos between the time you check out and when housekeeping can get in the condo for the departure clean. Wish you would have called if you thought the water was not hot enough, we are on call 24/7/365 and have a maintenance staff that could have come up and looked at that for you, while you were here, or after your first instance. Keep in mind that these are not your private home, where you can have the water temps set at your preference and the water heaters are set to a minimum of 120* to prevent scalding. When you use the exhaust fan or heater fans in the bathrooms, this also will not allow for the steam to fog over mirrors. That is why those are there. Glad you used one of the perks of grocery delivery we offer. We do hope you enjoyed all the fun things there are to do in New Orleans, when not here for JazzFest.
