We really can’t thank the VacayNOLA team enough for their communication and support. This property was in a perfect location-close enough the the French quarter but quiet.

Thank you Jacob and friends for the 10/10 rating and 5 Star Review. So glad you had an excellent time in our beloved city!
When you realize this 1850;s built historic building was the original home of The Daily Picayune Newspaper, later to become the Times-Picayune, still in print today, the perfect location to all there is to see, do, go and EAT! in only a few blocks away. One block over, the Green, St. Charles Ave streetcar and 3 blocks down is Canal Blvd and the Red streetcars, so no matter which way a journalist was heading to get that news story, unless walking, you grab a streetcar!
We would love to have you back again to stay in a different newspaper themed condo. Contact us to get the current Return Guest Discount promo code before making your future reservation. .
Thank you Mark for the 10 out of 10 rating of The Picayune Building. We cannot express enough what a perfect location it is for al there is to see and eat while in downtown New Orleans.

Thank you Kendall and friends for the 5 Star Review. So glad you trusted Barbara on her wisdom and insight as a local and knowing some of the tips and tricks to know where locals would rather go than just to Bourbon St., those locals eat here restaurants vs touristy places.
We would love to host you and any of your friends again. Contact her before making your future reservations to get your Return Guest Discount promo code.
Let me think back, nope, cannot remember anybody saying they had a bad time in New Orleans, maybe a few too many or some regrets, but our beloved city knows how to have a great time. The Location? Cannot be beat for being walkable to any attraction, activity, event, venue and FOODS.
Don't wait until Sugar Bowl 2027 to make that return visit. Contact us to get your Return Guest Discount Promo Code so you can VacayNOLA, again!
Lovely place, lots of space, comfortable and clean.

Thank you Hilary and friends for the 5 Star Review of "Historic Politics" in The Picayune Building.
We normally get reviews on "what a great location", "close to everything we wanted to do", "near great restaurants", and all that it true, but a deep felt THANK YOU, for commending our hard working housekeeping krewes. They take pride in all the hard work they do to keep this 176 year old building, in good shape and the detailed work they perform to make the condo feel clean, well kept and welcoming to each guest.
It really is such a large space, and to be a two story, with one bedroom and full bath upstairs and one bedroom and full bathroom downstairs, along with the main living spaces.
We would love to host you again, make sure you reach out to get the current Return Guest Discount promo code so you can VacayNOLA!
We had a great stay. Due to a minor maintenance issue, we actually anded up staying in the Picayune newspaper unit.It was very well decorated and comfortable.

Thank you Catherine for the 5 Star Review of The Picayune Building, and of Front Page News, one of the newspaper themed condos on this building, which was the 1850 original home of the Daily Picayune Newspaper, later to become Times-Picayune Newspaper, still in print today, yet moved from this building in 1970. So sorry for the last minute change to the different condo that you had reserved, but with all those storms that went through with snow and ice north and east of us, New Orleans had such heavy wind driven rain, we thought best to move you to a lower floor, in case we had roof leaks.
We are glad you still had a wonderful time in our beloved city, ate some of our scrumptious food and made some memories of a lifetime.
We would love to host you again, contact us to get the most current Return Guest Discount promo code to again, VacayNOLA!
Happy to stay in a condo with all the amenities: full kitchen, w/d, dishwasher, streaming, internet; a great location to walk to everything. Thank you so much Barbara! We left you some fun coasters as a thank you!:)

Thank you Kristen and friends fro the 10 out of 10 rating of Historic Politics themed condo in the original home of The Daily Picayune building. Understanding it was the 1850's built newspaper building, the location cannot be beat for all there is to do, go, see and EAT while in downtown New Orleans.
Close enough to walk, yet far enough away from the 24/7 chaos of Bourbon Street, where you can come back and get some much needed rest to get out there and do it all over again the next day!
Thanks for the coasters, we use that iconic New Orleans Sewerage and Water Board meter cover photo as our logo, so those will most definitely be on our office desk tops! We appreciate those lagniappes' from our guests.
We would love to host you again. Contact Barbara before making your future reservations to get the current Return Guest Discount promo code.
Thank you James for the 5 Star Review. Sometimes one simple word can best describe the bare necessity needed in a vacation rental property. CLEAN
Our housekeeping krewes are our backbone and strive to make sure they leave no dust bunnies behind.
We would love to host you again. Contact us for the current Return Guest Discount promo code for your future reservations.
The condo was beautiful and comfortable. The amenities were also great. We had all we needed for a short stay. The host was more than helpful and offered all kinds of suggestions and tips for our first visit to NOLA

Thanks Patrice for your time to write your shining review, however we are a little sad we didn't get all 5 stars. Not to worry, that just makes us try harder.
It can be a bit overwhelming to visit a new city, but to come during Carnival Season AND experience rolling parades, that is bravery in itself. Sounds like Barbara bombarded you with all her knowledge and love of New Orleans, Mardi Gras and tips & tricks of how to enjoy New Orleans like a local, yet still do those touristy things.

The apartment was great. Nice location, in the middle of the NOLA action. Lots of great restaurants nearby.

Thank you Peter and family for the 5 Star Review. The Picayune Building, the original home of The Daily Picayune Newspaper and later the Times-Picayune Newspaper, from the early 1850's until 1969, yet still in print today, was and IS the best location for all of downtown New Orleans attractions, activities, venues, and of course, some of our World Famous and James Beard Award Winning Restaurants or those Mom & Pop and hole-in-the-wall places with some of the best foods you have ever eaten, mere blocks away.
Sounds like you made some lifelong memories with your family and we hope to host you again. Glad you trusted Barbara on that change of condos upgrade. Isn't that balcony amazing? Contact her to get the most current Return Guest Discount coupon code so your family, or just the 2 of you, can VacayNOLA!

Thank you Thomas and friends for the 5 Star Review. There is no place around that can compare to New Orleans. We believe we have the best location in all of the Big Easy and the history of The Picayune Building makes it such a great place.
Thanks for being a good sport about having to change condos just a couple of days prior to your arrival, hope you were just as thrilled getting upgraded to the three bedroom / 3 bath condo in the same building with your pre-planned activities.
If you get a chance to make a return visit, contact us prior to making those future reservations to get your Return Guest Discount promo code to VacayNOLA!
This was a great location. Easy to get around and some nice bars and restaurants in the area. Barbara was great with communication and gave us tons of information about New Orleans.

Thanks Charlie, family and friends for the 5 Star Review. We cannot emphasize what a perfect location The Picayune Building is to all of downtown New Orleans activities, attractions, and restaurants, from fine dining, to iconic to a few Mom & Pop, hole in the wall places.
Sounds like Barbara gave you the information overload of things to do, see & go.
Thanks for understanding that we had no control over the internet fiber optic lines that were severed by nearby construction on the street. Rarely do we loose power or internet, even during storms, because all of our utilities are underground. Although we were told the service would be back by 6 AM Friday, early this morning, we got another notification that it would be today, Monday by noon, we'll see :(
When you decide you want to make another visit, we would be honored to be your Host. Contact Barbara before making your future reservation to New Orleans so she will give you the current Return Guest Discount promo code so you can again, VacayNOLA!
This location is perfectly placed near Canal Street, Bourbon Street, the Casino, and the Superdome. Everything is within walking distance.

Thank you Chris and friends for the 4 Star Review. Sorry we did not hit all 5 stars, but glad you let us know why. Sure wish you would have called at the time there was loud music coming from the speakers on the sidewalk. We could have made a couple of calls, even at 2 AM.
Those pictures were very helpful to send to maintenance for them to see the glass shower door guard needed to be replaced and some missing caulking.
Hope to have you back again, when there is another Bucs vs Saints game next year. Contact us to get the current Return Guest Discount promo code.
Hi Lee,
We so loved having you here in our city for your Win the Storm Convention. Not sure how you "win a storm" but Louisiana had enough of them in 2020.
We would like it very much if you come back for another visit, but can you not bring any storms with you?
All the best and hope you have many more storms to chase, just not affecting the metro New Orleans area.

Excellent location and cool, historic architecture

Thank you Lynn and friends for the 5 Star Review. We cannot express enough what a prefect location The Picayune Building is to all there is to do, see and eat in downtown New Orleans. We are a great walkable city.
Once you realize it was the original newspaper building, it all makes sense, it had to be centrally located to get those breaking news events and stories of surrounding neighborhoods, back to be typeset , printed and sold by the news boys on the streets.
We know that we have a very special and detail orientated housekeeping team that keeps this 175 year old building in the best condition it can be, for it's age.
Glad you thought the arrival and departure instructions were easy to understand and follow. We don't ask you to strip beds or wash the bedlinens or thick terrycloth towels, as all of our laundry is sent out to a commercial laundry service to be washed, sanitized and dried, coming back fresh and folded for each new arriving guest. We do ask simply to; load and start the dishwasher with provided dishwashing tablets, and take the trash out, so we keep odors and pest at a minimum.
As our additional thanks, we offer discounts for returning guests, so make sure you contact us before making those future reservations, to get the most current Return Guest Discount promo code so you can VacayNOLA!
Everything was great. The noise level from outside is high. You can here conversations of people walking past. Other than that, the location and the appearance of the unit is great!

Thank you Cliff and friends for the review of The Picayune Building. Sad we didn't get all 5 Stars, but good to know that there was noise from the business on the street level next door. We have addressed them playing music and found the speaker for that business at the edge of your window. Street noise is not always avoidable in downtown New Orleans.
We are happy you thought the location and presentation of the condo was great. We truly cannot express what a wonderful location this is for all there is to do in New Orleans, and nothing is ever a walk too far.
We do offer discounts to returning guests, contact us before making future reservations to get the most current Return guest Discount promo code.
Everything you need. Very convenient to allNOLA has to offer. Very clean.

Thank you Richard and friends for the 5 Star Review. With this being the original 1850's built home base of The Daily Picayune, later to become the Times-Picayune Newspaper, you understand the convenience of the location to all there is to do, see and eat within a 10 block radius.
Thanks for the mention of our awesome housekeeping krewes! They are the Best!
