About this property

Best Block in the Bywater - valid license

On the hippest street in the Bywater - amongst new (and old) bars, restaurants, galleries and parks. 1500 SF of grand old rambling shotgun with 14' ceilings, hardwood floors and incredible architectural details. Frozen in time.

Do your research and you'll see you're smack dab in the middle of the Bywater buzz.
You're across the street from The Country Club with a huge pool!

11 historic blocks to Frenchman St. in the Marigny.
12 historic blocks to the French Quarter

The shared laundry room is out back with washer, dryer, iron/board and extra supplies.
Adults only pool across the street at The Country Club with cover charge.

Fenced back yard.

The home is one block away from a 'Blue Bike' bicycle share kiosk.

Bus #5 stops on our corner and goes through the Bywater, Marigny, French Quarter and CBD.
or JUST STROLL!

Great find in a cute neighborhood, alive with restaurants, bars, music and thrifting. The unit was lovely, and we enjoyed the garden in the back in the mornings and evenings. The nights were quiet. Short ride to French Quarter and other neighborhoods. It was a lovely stay. Highly recommend.

This was one of the most beautiful houses we’ve stayed in and the location was amazing for our short stay! There were cute local food and shops walking distance to the house, and it was a short drive to all of well known spots we wanted to see on our trip! The host was very friendly and helpful and the food recommendations came in handy. Thank you so much for the beautiful home for my family and pets!

Rooms were great, location was excellent. It is a duplex, so you can hear the footsteps and conversations of people next door. I had earplugs and a white noise machine so it was fine for us. The mattresses are VERY soft, fair warning to anyone with a bad back. I would totally stay here again for location alone (my husband and I had to sleep in separate beds due to mattress).

The property was very clean. We appreciated the traditional style of the home. The location was amazing. We always felt safe and there was a ton of great food around the area. We never used the pool because of time and the cover charge. The air conditioning worked very well. The only con I have is that the two queen sized beds were very bowl shaped. You always sank into the middle and it did cause some back and neck discomfort. But overall, we loved our stay here.

So Cute!

We had a great stay at this little house in New Orleans! The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to see and do. The house itself was cute, clean, and full of charm. It had a cozy, welcoming feel, and my family really enjoyed our time there. It was the perfect home base for exploring the city, and we’d definitely stay again!

Great little spot. Tidy. Had character. Quiet neighborhood. Pizza Delicious the next block over was great. The bar on the corner was perfect for a low key night cap. The owners were great at communicating. Would definitely recommend.

perfect home base for our week in nola

we loved our stay here, the house had a great location, friendly hosts, a really good amount of space, all the basic amenities, and really good A/C, which was a lifesaver in the 90 degree weather. Only downside was that the wi-fi signal was pretty spotty, but we just worked from nearby cafes which was better anyway. Would 100% stay here again next time im in nola!

About the host

Host profile image
Two easy going guys who love the laid back neighborhood and like to have a little fun ... and hope that you will too. We're nine years in Nola and feel like locals already. We're architects who work hard, play hard and appreciate the local architecture, music, art and food.

Why they chose this property

IT'S BIG and it's a shotgun. Besides 3 bedrooms, it has a fully stocked kitchen with a dining table and a living room. It sleeps 6 in real beds, plus at least 2 more on the sofa and air mattresses that we provide. (Sometimes both sides of the double are even available.) The bathroom is small, but fully remodeled with a clawfoot tub/shower.

What makes this property unique
