About this property

Quaint 1930s Algiers Shotgun- 6 Min. Ferry to French Quarter! Safe & quiet area!

Come enjoy this beautiful 1930's Shotgun in Historic Algiers! This adorable cottage is a true shotgun... walk from the living room to the bedroom to the kitchen to the bathroom! Sweet antique details can be found within this charming home such as an original fireplace and beautiful woodwork. Algiers is the 2nd oldest neighborhood in NOLA and offers a safe and quiet escape from downtown, but is only a 15-minute walk & a 6 min. ferry ride to the French Quarter and Business District!

This classic shotgun is on the Westbank, 3 blocks from Algiers Point, which is known as being one of the safest neighborhoods in New Orleans. The home has its own off-street parking as well as on-street parking in front of the house. The house is walkable to several bars, restaurants, and coffee shops. The Westbank is the perfect mix of quiet escape from the Quarter, with a charming, genuine New Orleans neighborhood feel.

This was a perfect respite from the busy French Quarter! A quiet, pleasant, and safe neighborhood just a short ferry ride across to the French Quarter.

Parking availability both off/on street. It's a pretty quiet neighborhood, we felt comfortable parking on the street. We could've have been happier with the location of this house! Algiers is a lovely area to stay when visiting New Orleans. We used the ferry each day to go into town. Melissa, our host, provided many helpful suggestions for transportation and restaurant recommendations! I have crossed off my wish for staying in a shotgun house and it was charming and perfect! The house had everything we needed, was spotless and gave that old time vibe I was looking for. Thank you Melissa!

The Busy Bee Shotgun was cute and had a lot of character for a house built in the late 1930s. The owner, Melissa was very helpful and responded quickly to my questions. The house does require some maintenance such as the bathroom does need some work and you feel like you're tilting when using it and the front door should be replaced; you can see the sun coming through the cracks in the panels. The front patio does need some weed whacking and maintenance. The location was further than I had expected as far as walking to catch the ferry. The first night we were there, we heard gunshots a few blocks away and read in the news that someone had been killed and another person injured. The neighborhood itself is quiet with most of the neighbors polite and kept to themselves. However, I would not walk in the neighborhood at nighttime. Parking next to the house made it worth it because it was free and off the street. Overall, our stay was comfortable and quiet.
