About this property
Octavia Street Cottage
The cottage is sunny, classic New Orleans shotgun cottage with modern updates in a wonderful, walkable and friendly neighborhood ten blocks from Audubon Park and the Zoo and River.
Hardwood floors and high ceilings hold ceiling fans and a comfortable couch and chair lends to lounging. The open full kitchen with new appliances and a large oak dining table is a comfortable place to share a meal, play a game, or decorate your Mardi Gras throws. Lovely light and eleven foot ceilings and ceiling fans will make you feel at home.
The bedroom has simple Art Deco furniture and high thread count sheets and bedding. The bedroom leads to the bathroom with claw foot tub for soaking your dancing feet and dreaming as well as a shower.
The back door opens to the screened porch, my favorite room in the house, perfect for sipping your cocktail under the swirling ceiling fan. The brick patio could be your next crawfish boil site with a comfy table and chairs for those beautiful languid evenings. The small house in the back has a full-sized washer/dryer.
Sauter around uptown New Orleans with fabulous food within walking distance in all directions, including the best poboys in town. St. Charles Avenue, Audubon Park and the Mississippi River all within ten blocks of the cottage.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Amy Thigpen
Amy is a New Orleanian and Jeff is from California. They are happy to share their sweet shotgun cottage and their favorite restaurants and music clubs with you. There's never enough time in New Orleans, no matter how much time you spend, you'll be coming back soon, hopefully to the Octavia Street Cottage in the heart of Uptown.
Why they chose this property
Amy's grandfather was born just across Magazine on Arabella, and she went to Lusher, and later Tulane for graduate school. She finds new things to savor every times she comes home and loves the way this neighborhood keeps getting better without losing it's sense of slow-paced charm.
What makes this property unique
I've always loved the shotgun cottage, simple with nice lines and no extraneous spaces, just enough room. Octavia street has all the things I love in a house including the ceiling fans and the screened porch for lounging and reading the Lagnaippe section of the paper to find out where to go for hot music or the Gambit for the best new restaurants in town. I love the old brick of the stoop and the fireplace and of course the claw foot tub, big enough for soaking those tired Jazz Fest feet.
We fell in love with the neighborhood when we stayed here years ago, on Annunciation and discovered the pleasures of biking in Audubon Park under the live oak trees and riding or walking the bike path on the levee along the river and within walking distance of fabulous restaurants and bars.
