Thank you Sarah and family for the 5 Star Review. There are not enough verbs to convey the location of The Picayune Building's convenience to all of the downtown New Orleans attractions, activities and restaurants. We hear from a lot of guests that say, we don't want to order groceries because we are going to eat out the whole time. We get it! Whatever cuisine you are craving, it's here! We also understand that eating out every meal can get costly, and sometimes, you may just want to have some snacks, fruit, munchies or your own cocktails as you wind down before getting that restful sleep, needed to get up and start it all over again. Housekeeping will be thrilled to know that you were most impressed with how clean this three bedroom / 3 bath, two story, 1800 Sq Ft condo was for your family. WE would love to host your family again. Contact us before making your future reservations to get the current Return Guest Discount promo code to again, VacayNOLA!

Thank you Adam and friends for the 5 Star Review of "Editorial & Short Story" in The Picayune Building and of our VacayNOLA Team. We cannot express what a perfect location this condo is. Everything is so walkable; Riverfront, French Quarter, Morial Convention Center, and especially the SuperDome & Smoothie King Center Arena, as well as countless music venues for concerts, musicals comedy shows or theatrical shows and plays. And foods? Never to far from any of these attractions will you find some of our scrumptious restaurants; from iconic, aged, reservations required or a Mom & Pop joint, to a hole in the wall place with some of the best foods around. Part of the fun in exploring New Orleans is finding those places. You don't have to wait until another Superbowl to visit again.

Thank you for the kind words. We would love to have your group back, or your individual families come for a getaway and several of our year round activities, events and festivals. We wanted you to know the water department was working on surrounding street underground water lines, causing the low water pressure. Although we still had low water pressure, after the street work was completed, with no further explanation from the water department, the building owner has taken on the expense of purchase and installation of domestic water pumps to the building. All condos have more water pressure throughout the entire building. Including the fourth floor and loft bathrooms above.

Thank you Roxanne and friends for the 5 Star Review. To pat ourselves on the back, this IS the perfect place to stay in downtown New Orleans. We are walkable to all attractions; WWII Museum, Louisiana's Superdome, Smoothie King Center Arena, Morial Convention Center, Harrah's Casino, Riverwalk, and of course all the Vieux Carré has to offer. You are right, close enough to experience it all but far away from the all night chaos to get a good night's rest and sleep. It is rare to get such a large, three bedroom / 3 bath, two story condo, almost 1800 sq ft, in the Central Business District of New Orleans with all the original 1880's built charm of original exposed brick walls, floor to ceiling windows yet all the modern conveniences of granite counter tops, stainless appliances and an elevator within the building.

Thank you Michelle and family for the 5 Star Review of Editorial & Short Story, the themed two story, 3 bedroom / 3 bath condo in the Central Business District of downtown New Orleans, where each condo has framed newspaper articles from the Daily Picayune and Times-Picayune Newspapers that was originally operated out of this building from the 1850's until 1969. So glad to know that our VacayNOLA Team was there for you when an issue arose. With a building that is almost 175 years old, things can happen and heavy downpours of wind driven rain do happen here from time to time. Overall we are elated you had a great experience with "us" and the excitement of being in New Orleans for a Saint's "DOME" game but the only thing that can top our football excitement is the annual Krewe of Boo! Halloween parade, just 2 blocks from this condo! We cannot express enough what a perfect location this building is for all the activities, adventures, events sports, concerts and our over the top parades, Halloween, Mardi Gras and others that we have.

Thank you Johnny for your 5 Star Review. It was our pleasure to host your family's traveling party for the Birthday Celebration of the 21 year old. New Orleans IS the place to celebrate! Would love to hear more about all your adventures, how your Sazerac House Distillery tour went, did he win big at Harrah's and were you able to get a cake or cupcakes from Bittersweet bakery? You don't have to wait for the younger children to be turning 21 to make another visit back, ya know..... We are thrilled we not only met but exceeded your expectations of the accommodations, and will let housekeeping know you appreciated all the hard work they do in in that 4 hour time between guests. As for the location, we just cannot express that it is the perfect location for downtown New Orleans; close enough to walk to the French Quarter, but out of the chaos and noise at night, walkable to WWII Museum and restaurants galore! But then again, being the original home to the "Times - Picayune Newspaper" in the 1880's the newspaper building IS going to have the best location to be able to get all the news scoops from all of the City center and surrounding neighborhoods when going to print. Give us a call before making your next reservation, we give discounts to returning guests, to get the current promo code. VacayNOLA!
