About this property

A Beautiful Jewel Box... This House Is Painted Black !

Come chill in the sitting pool!! This private house has one private bedroom and a living room. There is a nice size kitchen , with a cozy gas fireplace. the living room has a couch but it is not a fold-out. The bedroom opens on to a gorgeous courtyard with a sitting pool. All new renovation , but old world charm remains. It is in a great location .. Within walking distance to the Marigny, Bywater and the French Quarter. There are a variety of bars, restaurants and coffee shops near by. Best of all, the St. Roch Market is just steps away!

Licensed by City of New Orleans, #20-CSTR-20496

Tom was one of the nicest and most accommodating hosts I’ve ever worked with. Very responsive and helpful! He gave us great recommendations around the neighborhood. We felt right at home! Couldn’t ask for anything else from a host!

Out host, Tom, was attentive and very welcoming. The property is well maintained, quite comfortable and has an attractive courtyard in which to relax. Very near a lovely coffee shop and the St Roch food market which was a nice bonus!

This was an absolute wonderful stay. The host was very attentive and checked in on us via messages several times. We gave a little tour of the house and the connected shared garden. As well as plenty of suggestions of things to do around town. He really went above and beyond.The neighborhood was nice and surprisingly quite for an urban area. The location was great. It was close to the St Roch Market which had several amazing food vendors.Definitely worth checking out.

Tom was so welcoming and kind! I loved staying here. He was super responsive to messages before and during the trip. We came for Mardi Gras weekend and it was great having a place that was walking distance from everything we wanted to do. Street parking was free and readily available. The courtyard was absolutely stunning in such a great way to start our morning. The pool was also adorable and a great way to relax after walking all day. As far as cooking utensils go, the kitchen was super well stocked. We really didn’t need for anything. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking to visit the French Quarter.

The host was welcoming. A lot to figure out about the house - gas fireplace for heat and radiators. Not for people used to central heat/ac. 2 person max for occupancy-we were warned the couch was not comfortable and they are correct.No coffeeMate or little creamers for coffee. We did appreciate the cold waters.

Located in a rich cultural part of the city. Everything in walking distance. Our stay was cozy and loved the patio and boutique pool to relax. Great communication from owner Tom and very accommodating and facilitated our late arrival. Local beers and chips were so welcoming.

Great Spot for Walking into the Quarter

We enjoyed our stay here and easily walked to and from the French Quarter during our stay! The AC is two window units that are probably nearing the end of their lives but this wasn't a big deal. The pool is awesome and great for relaxing after your day out exploring. Hosts are awesome and answered any and all questions we had!

Great location!

This location was very convenient for us with places like St. Roch Market, Honey’s and the Food Co-Op within easy walking distance. The only downside for us was crowd noise from the St. Roch Tavern, which kept us up at night a bit later than we would have preferred.
