🎨Artist’s Retreat in the heart of Magazine St - Walk to restaurants, bars, shops

Relax & Play in the perfect compliment of history and modern comfort.

Enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony of a century-old house with breakfast pastries from the best bakery in New Orleans, La Boulangerie, just two doors down.

In the afternoon, stroll down bustling Magazine street and explore world renown restaurants, bars, art galleries, boutiques and antique shops, just steps away from your front door. Or hop on the bus at the stop next door for a ride straight down to the French Quarter.

In the evening, toast champagne under a grand vintage crystal chandelier and greet passerby from our balcony overlooking the famous Magazine Street.

Over a century old, our house still retains her original front door and pieces of her original hard-wood floors.

Watch the game on your massive 65" smart TV with YouTube TV subscription.

Work with ease on free 300mps high-speed WiFi.

Relax with a spacious living room, full-size kitchen, crisp linens over a comfortable Queen bed, and full bath with ultra soft towels. We are in a safe & fun area with lots of shops and restaurants. Get downtown on a super easy direct bus route that picks up in front of the house or walk just a few blocks to catch the street car.

LIMITED PARKING: Limited parking may be available upon request. Please inquire when booking if you would like to reserve our one-car driveway.

Our kitchen is stocked with a Keurig K-Supreme Plus, blender, toaster oven, microwave, full-size fridge, single electric cooktop, cooking utensils, a selection of Starbucks coffee, and creamer.

Our active guests; will find a yoga mat, yoga blocks, and basketball in the closet. The outdoor court is just a few doors down. A Pure Barre studio is just a block away.

Your family-friendly suite includes 4 camping chairs to take with you to events/festivals, board games, and a discovery bin to keep the kids entertained.

Upon check-out, allow us to take care of everything for you. We will handle the dishes, trash, linens etc. Our only request is that enjoy your final morning with us.

Cheers!
Brandi and Steve

Fancy New Orleans Stay
We went to New Orleans for our oldest daughter's nineth birthday. She wanted to go somewhere where she could walk and shop rather than having to drive everywhere. Not only did both my girls say this suite was artistic and fancy (the highest praise from 9 and 5 year old girls), but the location is unbeatable. The bakery is just a couple of doors down, and all the shops on Magazine street are unique and beautiful. The hosts were absolutely amazing, the suite was a beautiful mix of history and updated conveniences, and the location is unbeatable. We couldn't have asked for anything better, and the girls already want to know when we are going back. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!

Literally the best place in NOLA
Great property, in perfect location with by far the best owner we have experienced on VRBO. Easy to grab a bus ( few steps from house)or the tram ( lovely houses on the route) straight into center, which we realized was the best decision not staying too central, as bars and shops in area gave a much better feel of NOLA.Very nice vibe in the house and surrounding areas, and felt safe all the time. Local dive bar was great. Again Brandi saved the day , as left my best shirt behind (she posted on for me to my next location, and found a car charger for my phone) Could not ask for more , and thoroughly recommended. Thanks for perfect trip

Best place to stay in NOLA!
I loved this place from the minute I arrived and opened the door! I was greeted with the cutest hip decor in the bright and inviting living room. I was welcomed with fresh pastries from La Boulangerie bakery (two doors away from the rental) and a lovely note from the owners. The whole place was very well appointed -- with comfy beds and linens, a well-stocked kitchen including a Keurig coffee maker with coffee pods and a Brita in the fridge for purified water. The bathroom had both towels as well as make-up towels to use (so the regular towels wouldn't get stained by makeup). And the extra bonus was the fabulous front porch where I could sit and look out on Magazine Street. The owners were super responsive and helpful in answering my questions. I love this place, and give it a 10++++!

Mardi Gras House
A great place with an amazing location. New Orleans Flavor in their decor makes your visit to New Orleans authentic and fun. Across from a great dinner house Lupo and next door to Le Boloungerie where the coffee and baked goods are amazing.

Essence festival stay
We stayed over essence festival and the place was amazing. Comfortable clean and perfect location. Pictures are accurate of what the place looks like. Host were very pleasant and even left a thoughtful note with delicious pastries upon our arrival. They checked in to see how things were going and to see if there was anything we needed. I would definitely recommend staying here.

Four nights to visit family
We really enjoyed our stay in late May. It was hot outside, but the AC had no trouble keeping up. The decor is super cute and there are so many thoughtful touches. The games and the balcony space are great for family time. It's an old house, with some old house quirks, but nothing that caused any inconvenience. My one recommendation is that if you need a dark room to sleep, bring an eye mask as the street lights keep the bed rooms bright. We'd stay here again.

What a wonderful way to visit NOLA. The apartment is beautiful and Brandi is an amazing hostess. She thinks of everything (as evidenced by the Brita in the fridge)!
