This place was amazingly perfect for our large group! It had everything you would need and the common area spaces were fantastic to gather and enjoy each others company! 5 Stars!
Engine 24 Firehouse was everything we had hoped and more. The house was spacious with comfortable beds, well equiped kitchen and game area. The owner was wonderful to work with and very responsive to our inquiries. And the Marigny area was so interesting with beaurtiful historic homes and neighborhood restaurants. Our combined families had a wonderful time, never felt crowded, and thouroghly enjoyed our stay!
It was a great place to stay with fun stuff to entertain everyone. We attended for a bachelor party and it was the perfect setup for us. Having multiple kitchens and lots of bathrooms was a great addition. Host communicated great and even helped us check in early so we didn’t have to wait around.
The host was welcoming and responsive, provided a lot of great information. The building was so unique and charming. Each bedroom had a bathroom and the shared spaces were comfortable. The courtyard was a beautiful space to sit with morning coffee.
We had a pretty large group of 14 and everyone had a comfortable place to sleep and plenty of space to spread out! We loved the courtyard and all of the common spaces. We especially enjoyed the historic charm of the old firehouse and how walkable it was to everything we were doing (and a cheap uber if needed). Great bars and restaurants in the area too! Would highly recommend and hope to be back someday!
We were in town for a wedding and this place couldn't have worked out better. Great for a large group, cool neighborhood, and the house is a story itself.
The firehouse was even better than expected. We were a group of 14 and had plenty of space. Everything was clean and well kept. The location is also perfect. Close to many excellent restaurants and a short walk to bourbon street and Frenchmen street. The firehouse also added a great general vibe to the bachelor party. Finally, Beth was very responsive and helpful. 10/10 would book again. Thank you for letting us stay in this awesome spot!

Unique place, cool area, loved Frenchman Street!
Great for a big group, courtyard was a fun hangout, but the main room with the fire doors open was our favorite!
Really one of the best group accommodations in New Orleans! All bedrooms with en suite bathroom, well appointed common areas, even a charming courtyard, and close to many fun NOLA bars, restaurants and other sights!
