About this property

Historic Lower Garden District Apt. - 1 1/2 blocks from Mardi Gras parades

LONG-TERM/MONTHLY RENTERS Tastefully furnished 1 bedroom, 1 & 1/2 bathroom apartment within historic 1850s Italianate home just 1 & 1/2 blocks from St. Charles Avenue/uptown Mardi Gras parade routes in New Orleans' historic Lower Garden District. Half a block from Coliseum Square Park. Close to Magazine Street restaurants, shopping, and more. Walking distance to French Quarter.

ENTRY
The apartment is accessed through an ‘alley way’ off the side of the main house and through the side yard (which is currently a work-in-progress). The apartment has its own separate entrance. Once you open the door, you climb the staircase up to the second floor of the home.

SECOND FLOOR LEVEL/MAIN LIVING AREA
The main area features a large open living room furnished with modern art and a tasteful combination of genuine mid-20th century furniture and 19th century antiques, as well as some contemporary additions. The living room has a Joybird sleeper sofa with a queen-size memory foam mattress and a flat screen TV. The open kitchen is complete with a salvaged cypress island that comfortably seats two, a Wolf gas stove/oven, 2 dish washer drawers, a farm-house sink, and plenty of cabinets, which are stocked with your basic cooking needs. Behind the kitchen is the pantry, which houses the stacked washer/dryer, refrigerator, and microwave. There is also a small powder room with sink and toilet and a small balcony that runs the length of the living room/kitchen with 2 chairs and a table.

THIRD FLOOR LEVEL
The upper level houses the master bathroom which features an over-sized shower and, a few steps further up, the bedroom, which has a Queen size bed, a small closet and a chest-of-drawers. Both spaces feel spacious despite the sloping ceilings.

Comfortable & Convenient NOLA Stay

Our wonderful hosts have a cozy, clean, and very comfortable apartment. The bed is extremely comfortable, there are plenty of linens, the kitchen has everything you’d need if your cooking-in, and their welcoming snacks are irresistible! We walked to the WWII museum (15 min), to the garden district tour (15 minutes to Lafayette Cemetery), and took the street car to the French Quarter (5 minutes to stop). I highly recommend staying here!

Great place to stay and call home. It deserves 10 stars.

A great place to call "home". Bettine, the owner, is very helpful to our needs, and gave great advice on how to get around New Orleans. The apartment was immaculate and had everything we needed. I love the convenience of the location. It was close to public transportation and close the French Quarters. The neighborhood was very safe. I would go again with my family and I would receommend it to all my friends.

Perfect Spot for NO Visit

The property was impeccably maintained and managed by Bettine. The location was outstanding. We were able to walk to our destinations every day or take an affordable Lyft ride. Bettine was a warm and gracious host obviously invested in our comfort and enjoyment. Highly recommend and would stay again in a heartbeat. My husband is 6'2" and was able to navigate the tall side of the bedroom without issue.

Ideal NOLA Getaway (2 year anniversary trip)

Bettine was an excellent host. We had some pretty warm weather for December and she made sure the vents were adjusted and that we were a comfortable temperature. The apartment is in a safe and cozy location very close to public transit. The space was beautifully decorated and there were snacks and beverages provided upon our arrival. Check in was very easy and there was a space provided to store our luggage even after check out so that we didn’t have to take it around with us. We couldn’t be happier with our stay!

A Hidden Gem

My husband and I flew in for a short stay. Best place I've ever stayed in New Orleans!!! We have so many stories about failed experiences on and off for the last 20 years but we love New Orleans so much. This place was beyond our expectations. Location was perfect for providing walking distance in the Garden District. Most of all...our host was simply amazing!!! Even during Tropical Storm Ogla...thank you so much. We'll be back!

Nowhere Else I'd Rather Stay

Bettine was an amazing host, very helpful and accommodating. The apartment is spacious and has everything you'd ever need, I stayed for 6 weeks over the summer and I couldn't have been more comfortable or happy. Less than 2 blocks from St. Charles Ave (amazing restaurants and access to trolley), a park right down the street, less than a mile walk to Magazine St. (restaurants, shops, bars). There's access to everything you would need or want to visit. I HIGHLY recommend staying here, I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I have. The next time I travel to New Orleans, I will definitely be booking with Bettine again.

Perfect NOLA getaway

The apartment is ideal for a couple looking to enjoy everything New Orleans has to offer. Highly recommended! The property owner provided tons of information regarding access, restaurants, and things to do, well in advance of our trip. The apartment is at the back of a building up a flight of stairs. It is well appointed with top of the line appliances and nice TVs with Roku streaming built in. There were even thoughtful welcome snacks and beverages waiting in the apartment for us. The owner checked in via text a couple times to see if we needed anything, or needed any recommendations. She was excellent. The location is ideal for exploring New Orleans. You are right in the middle of a great residential neighborhood, with plenty of shopping and dining up and down nearby Magazine and St Charles Streets. You can walk to the streetcars on St Charles to explore the Garden District and Uptown. You're a mile and a half tops from the French Quarter, and even closer to the World War II Museum and the Warehouse district. Will definitely try to book this place again on our next trip.

Spectacular

There just are not enough positive things we can say. Bettine was so kind and welcoming. She was very knowledgeable about her city and she even had treats for my Birthday!! The apartment was just beautiful! Exactly as represented and then some. Immaculately clean and comfortable. We parked on the street right in front of our entry way and never drove again until we left. Just a short walk to the St. Charles street car that took us everywhere all week. Perfectly located between uptown and the Quarter. Even walking distance to Magazine. We will stay again and again. Already planning for October.

Perfect spot for a trip to New Orleans

Bettine and Micheal were the perfect host. The greeted us as we arrived and helped us in with our one too many bags :). The accommodations were great quietly positioned in the back of the house. She had some wine and local beers for us to enjoy when we arrived and the location was perfect for dining and coffee on Magazine was just a short walk away, We will definitely stay here again when we visit the city.

Truly a Wonderful VRBO Experience!

My wife and I have stayed in dozens of VRBO's both in the U.S. and internationally. Without question this was the most positive experience we've had with a VRBO host. Bettine could not have been more accommodating and helpful. First, we were greeted with bottles of wine, beer, sodas, water, seltzer waters, and Zapp's upon arrival. During our stay Bettine checked in on us via text multiple times to make sure our stay was going well. As for the apartment, it was spotlessly clean, roomy, well stocked with cooking items, linens, toiletries, etc. The location is fantastic with many eating/drinking locations within a few minute walk. Also it's relatively easy to walk downtown and the St. Charles streetcar line is less than a 5 minute walk. My wife and I cannot recommend this place enough! We look forward to our next stay in Bettine's apartment.

Luxury in the lower garden district

Bettine is an absolute gem. She was so sweet, thoughtful and was easy to communicate with- she's a super host! The rental is in a great location and felt like we were in our own luxury home. It had all we needed (and more) was tastefully decorated with high end touches and it has beautiful light coming in. Absolutely recommend!
