About this House
Summary:
Two-bedroom sanctuary with a beautiful, light-filled interior. Comes with its own entrance just steps from all that Magazine Street has to offer. Walk one block to New Orleans culinary institution Commander's Palace- a New Orleans landmark since 1893 and winner of six James Beard Foundation Awards. Located just one mile from the Convention Center and two miles to the Superdome, this house is the perfect launching pad for any New Orleans getaway for business or pleasure!
The Space:
If you want to be within walking distance to some of the best po-boys in New Orleans (Tracey's and Parasol's) or the most iconic bars uptown (The Bulldog, Balcony Bar, and others) this is the spot. Very convenient to just about everywhere in the city, including the Convention Center, Superdome, Smoothie King Arena, and French Quarter. Hop on the historic St Charles streetcar just four blocks away and ride down to Bourbon Street or up to historic Audubon Park.

Guest Access:
Guests will have the entire two bedroom apartment to themselves. There is also a fully stocked kitchen. The couch pulls out into a queen size bed for additional sleeping. There are two bathrooms, a washer/dryer, and a patio that is shared with another unit. The perfect spot for a vacation!
The Neighborhood:
Magazine Street is the "Main Street" of Uptown New Orleans. Enjoy dozens of boutique shops, local restaurants, and cozy bars. Prime location for Mardi Gras and St. Patrick's Day parades.
Garden District
U.S. National Register of Historic Places
U.S. National Historic Landmark District
This whole area was once a number of plantations, including the Livaudais Plantation. It was sold off in parcels to mainly wealthy Americans who did not want to live in the French Quarter with the Creoles. It became a part of the city of Lafayette in 1833, and was annexed by New Orleans in 1852.[8] The district was laid out by New Orleans architect, planner, and surveyor Barthelemy Lafon.
Originally the area was developed with only a couple of houses per block, each surrounded by a large garden, giving the district its name. In the late 19th century, some of these large lots were subpided, as uptown New Orleans became more urban. This has produced a pattern for much of the neighborhood: of any given block having a couple of early 19th-century mansions surrounded by "gingerbread"-decorated late Victorian period houses. Thus, the "Garden District" is now known for its architecture more than for its gardens per se.
A slightly larger district (one block further west to Louisiana, one block farther north to Carondelet, and three blocks farther east to Josephine) was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974.
Everyone agrees. Uptown’s got the looks in the family, bless its heart. Those handsome neighborhoods, like the St. Charles Avenue streetcar, trundle upriver, unfolding as a series of distinctive names: Oretha Castle Haley, The Garden District, Irish Channel, Riverside, the Black Pearl, Carrollton. Uptown’s homes -- gleaming white and tiered like wedding cakes or shot-gunned into long, narrow lots – are the place’s glory and sheltered by canopies of leafy green or family trees as branched and blossoming as any ancient magnolia. The air’s opulent with the scent of jasmine and a slower, grander age. Uptown, where white tablecloths still cover two-tops. The waiter knows both your name and your preferences. A gin fizz? The crabmeat salad? Satsuma orange ice cream? They’re all on offer, as are the dazzling array of goods. The smart shops on Oak and Maple, Freret and Magazine, rival anything anywhere else. But this is Uptown, sugar. Once you’re here, there’s no reason – not ever – to leave.
Getting Around:
With a walkability score of 91 and a bike score of 65, there’s no need to rent a car for your stay. The St. Charles streetcar line is just 5 blocks away through the beautiful Garden District.
Other Things to Note:
The two bedrooms are "shotgun style"- an architectural style common in New Orleans , where you walk through one bedroom to get to the other.
We’ve put our heart and soul into making this a special space. If there’s anything – big or small – that we can do to make your stay better, please let us know. We’re constantly making improvements and welcome all suggestions :) Also the bedrooms are shotgun style- walk through one to get to the next. Very common in New Orleans.

We interact as little or as much as you like. We are always happy to meet guests, answer any questions or provide recommendations.

Great location but noisy throughout the night
Great location! Clean and comfortable. Did wish there was some sound deadening in the bedroom window that was street side, as night time was noisy and nothing much to to help reduce. Foam, thick curtain, other window tx would help. A little awkward with both bedrooms adjoining- glad friends were deep sleepers.

Fun neighborhood
Great location on Magazine St with many shops and restaurants nearby. We did not find noise to be a problem. Walking distance to Commander’s Palace! The property was clean and comfortable.

Good proximity but very noisy
This home was located in a good area which was close to restaurants and shops - which we appreciated - but being right on Magazine St made it very noisy - during the day and into the night. The windows were single-paned and some didn't close all the way, and the street noise was always an issue. We were glad to be close to the streetcar, but we would not stay here again because of the noise.

Irish Channel property
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house was very clean and tidy. The rooms were pleasant and comfortable and there was a fully equipped kitchen and laundry room. Although parking is not possible at the house itself, there is plenty of parking available on nearby streets. We usually parked a half block away.I would happily stay here again.

ok but think parking on street should be up front in listing. Twice had to drive around through surrounding neighborhood to find a place

Great location
We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and conveniently located to shops and restaurants. The outdoor space with comfortable seating and gas fire feature were a surprise added bonus!
