The Neighborhood:
The Garden District was built in the mid-19th century and is one of the most scenic and wealthy areas of all New Orleans. Lush, manicured trees and grand, historic mansions line the streets, making it an oasis away from the bustle of the French Quarter and perfect for strolling. Find yourself within walking distance to popular Magazine Street which offers both upscale dining, craft cocktails and rare antiques as well as dive bars and eclectic boutiques.
Other nearby attractions include the Audubon Park & Zoo, Lafayette Cemetery, and Commander’s Palace. The French Quarter is a quick 12 minute car ride away. My personal favorite coffee house, Mojo, is right on the corner!
Getting Around:
Many attractions can be enjoyed by foot, but for further adventures, there are plenty of transportation options. There is a nearby blue bike share hub at the northeast corner of Annunciation Center Park. Enjoy a quick 8-minute walk to St. Charles Ave. and you will find the historic streetcar, taking you anywhere from the French Quarter to Audubon Park. Street parking is easy to find if you bring a rental car. Additionally, taxis and ride shares such as Uber and Lyft, also operate heavily in the area.
Distance to the following:
-French Quarter: 12 minutes by car or 30 minutes by streetcar
-Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport: 20 minutes by car
-Convention Center: 4 minutes by car
-Tulane University: 13 minutes by car or 30 minutes by streetcar
-Streetcar Access: 8-minute walk to Stop #267 at Felicity St and St. Charles Ave.
Other Things to Note:
Terrific for family gatherings, or to come and visit NOLA for Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, etc.

Great big house with lots of bedrooms, great kitchin, pool table and nice pool.
Nicely decorated and convenient neighborhood.
Nothing bad to say, but the house has no closets so you are living out of your suitcase.
2.0 / 5.0
I rented this place for a few days around Essence to host a book signing and for overnight accommodations for what turned out to be two guests. Since I can read I asked the hosts upfront if the book signing was a permissible use of the space. It was so I booked. The book signing was scheduled for 5pm-8pm. We were immediately harassed by both a neighbor and the host because “the music was too loud.” IT WAS 5PM! Additionally there is a lot of surveillance happening at the house as the host called me yelling about 30 signals in the house.
On to the house itself. The AC is severely lacking and at one point the host began cranking the heat, I assume in an effort to get me to leave. The rooms were hot as hell, there was mold present and the house is not as great as the pictures. The pool was also dirty even though the hosts claim it’s cleaned weekly and as a pool owner I know what it looks like when you have weekly maintenance. It was not just a few leaves as the host suggested. The racism and unprofessional behavior displayed by both the host and the neighbor were absolutely stunning. Regular people should not be in the “hotel/bnb” business.

Gorgeous home in eclectic historical neighborhood. Loved and enjoyed by 9 Seniors even though the stairs were challenging. Decor beautiful and gathering areas spacious. We had some glitches with the plumbing which were promptly repaired. We especially loved being close to Magazine Street, the Bus Stop, and Mojo’s.

House was bigger than I could imagine. Me and my family very much enjoyed our stay in a great part of the lower garden district. 100% would love to stay here again
5.0 / 5.0
We invited family to celebrate our daughter's Medical School graduation May 18th and were thrilled with this property. While initially 10 were booked, 7 ended up coming but we would have had plenty of room for 10 with the 6 bedrooms. The interior and exterior living space is much bigger than it appears from the street. There is a great deal of welcoming entertaining space in both the front and back of the home, with an open concept, well stocked kitchen with plenty of counter seating. Every bedroom is good sized and all our guests commented on the comfortable beds. For those not familiar with these old gracious NOLA homes, you will love the high ceilings and charming furnishings but come prepared for no closets and minimal storage. The back yard pool is such a bonus. Its flowing waterfall keeps it fresh and cool. We would have liked some more pool chairs and beach towels but the host was accommodating to that request and we found some camp chairs. Truly the best part for me, the organizer, was how responsive and helpful the host was for every communication, even months before our arrival. We loved the location, just one block off Magazine Street with great coffee shops, restaurants and funky stores and a 10 minute walk to the St Charles street cars.
5.0 / 5.0
Awesome house, great location. Slight issue at check in but that was a VRBO issue. Property manager quickly resolved. Would recommend this house for a large group headed to NOLA
5.0 / 5.0
Don't let the lack of curb appeal sway you, this home is absolutely lovely. As soon as you enter you feel the historic Southern charm. Yet the kitchen and bathrooms have all the modern amenities. It's a perfect blend. With 6 bedrooms there is plenty of space for everyone to have privacy (and beds are very comfortable), and the living room is spacious enough for everyone to gather together. The highlight of the home is the small heated swimming pool in the backyard. We took a dip every day we were there! My only suggestion would be to provide pool towels, so guests don't have to use the bath towels, as well as more outside seating when not in the pool. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We will definitely rent again when we return to NOLA.
5.0 / 5.0
Great house in a prime location. We had three families staying together, and it was wonderful to have large, comfortable communal spaces and our own bedrooms/bathrooms to retreat to. The pool was a hit with everyone, and seems like a little oasis. Very easy to communicate with the owners when needed.
5.0 / 5.0
We were a multigenerational family staying in this huge and beautiful house to celebrate a milestone birthday, which was on Mardi Gras and Super Bowl weekend.
Check-in was a bit of a challenge for the the first person to arrive, who was unfamiliar with the keypad door lock. Michael answered when I called and was helpful. Both he and Marcia were responsive to questions via the app, even random ones like “Is the small bird in the large birdcage upstairs a fake or a taxidermy?” (It’s fake.)
PROs:
- A room available on ground floor for family member with limited mobility
- Kitchen was well-stocked with necessities to cook and have meals
- Access to washer/dryer
- Every room’s night table had a portable charging outlet
- In walking distance to the parade routes, shopping, and restaurants/cafes
- Neighborhood felt relatively safe, albeit not the smoothest sidewalks and roads.
CONs:
The pool was not cleaned nor heated. Not a lot of seating either. We spent a lot of time out anyway, and it was chilly a couple of the days, so we didn’t really go to the pool area much.
Other things that would’ve been helpful to know beforehand:
- Lack of closet space or drawers to store and hang your clothing.
- Be careful on the double staircase: part of steps don’t have railings.
- Detailed instructions and link to a video on how to operate each of the following:
- Keypad door lock
- A/C unit
- Heat/jets/lights for the pool
HIGHLY recommend this house for your large group.

The is house was perfect for our needs with a great layout and location.
5.0 / 5.0
The house is huge and accommodates up to 12 very comfortably. Bathroom layout required some coordination for the group, but the large heated (hot!) pool was a welcome surprise for the winter. Owner was responsive and helpful. Great location near a coffee shop and at the start of a large strip of Magazine St shops, bars and restaurants.
5.0 / 5.0
We had a perfect stay! The house is HUGE, the kitchen is well appointed, and the beautiful pool was even heated! The house has a lot of New Orleans charm in a fun neighborhood. This is a great house for a group… we were there for a birthday celebration and all of us had plenty of space. If you rent this, just make sure everyone is ok with stairs because there are a lot of them! :)
5.0 / 5.0
This property was lovely and just perfect for our group of 9 family members - mostly young adults - in town for a birthday celebration. The layout of the house is a little unusual but totally understandable for a house of this age and style. Just one bathroom downstairs and it’s the only option for the folks staying in the downstairs bedroom, but that wasn’t a big deal. The cool character of the house and all the amenities more than made up for it. There was plenty of space for us all to gather, and the pool and pool table were a big hit! The location just off Magazine is terrific - so many great food and restaurants within walking distance or a short Uber ride. Mojo Coffee just a few steps from the front door was key! We loved our stay and can’t wait to come back!

Fabulous pool. We used it every day. Great location. Plenty of room for all 9 of us. Wonderful home and experience for us all.

Great house. On the edge of not a nice neighborhood. Leaving front door great if go to the right. One block down to the left not so much.
5.0 / 5.0
We had a wonderful stay for our 20th wedding anniversary. The home was the perfect setting for friends and family to join us. The coffee maker was MIA, as soon as we contacted the property owner we had a new one in 15 minutes. A few more towels would be nice since there is a pool. Great property only minutes from the French quarter but the peace and quiet of the Garden district. There is also a wonderful coffee shop at the corner within 2 minute walking distance. We would love to stay here again!

The house was a perfect place to stay for a 6 person retreat weekend. It was better than the photos and we found everything we needed there. Great location with close shopping and great neighborhood restaurants.
5.0 / 5.0
The house is beautiful with a lot of space. Upgraded comforts, but still has the historic features of the house and was in a great location for walking to different areas of NOLA. We did not take the streetcar but there was a stop within a few blocks. The kids enjoyed playing pool each evening. The weather was extremely hot so we did enjoy having the pool at the end of our full days of touring. My only suggestion would be to add a table by the pool for hanging outside in the evenings. All in all it was a great place and the family enjoyed it.
5.0 / 5.0
Our stay was lovely. The house is beautiful and lives really well. My only recs are the property needs more bath towels, some pool towels and patio furniture for pool time and meals.
5.0 / 5.0
This house is in an excellent location! Short walk to many shops and restaurants as well as the streetcar line. There is plenty of on street parking. We really appreciated having the pool for the hot New Orleans summer. The beds were clean and comfortable. We had a very pleasant stay.
5.0 / 5.0
The photos dont do the house justice. 6 of us stayed here while working in NOLA. House is about 5k square feet and tons of privacy. Backyard has high fences/walls. Someone came to clean the pool which was great. I would absolutely rent this house again.
5.0 / 5.0
We spent a lot of time in the pool and just loved the property.
Pros
-AC works very well all over home
-Pool is private and can heat up if you want.
-Home is spacious and beautiful.
-Home is 3 blocks away from streetcar which made getting around easy with the Le Pass app
Cons
-Would have been nice to have separate / larger pool towels
-Ice maker in central island doesn't work or we could have used instruction on how to get it up and running.
-A small investment in 2 more chef pans and basic spices for cabinet would be awesome!
Pro Tips
-Walgreens on St. Charles and is just about the closest place for quick shopping.
-Breaux Mart at 3233 Magazine is an awesome grocery store!
-Street Cars run about every 1/2 hour. A trip all the way down to Audubon Park / Tulane s not to be missed!
-Everything in The St.Vincent Hotel at the end of the block is incredible, especially "Chapel Bar"
-The Bower is just a few blocks down, nice bar and great food.
-Best bar we found was Tracey's Original Irish Channel Bar, Reggie the bartender is awesome!

What a great way to spend some time in New Orleans! The house was beautiful. This was the perfect home for me and my group of girlfriends for our trip. It’s located in a great part of town and a quick drive to the quarter! The house was very clean and organized. The rooms were comfortable, and we loved the large kitchen! We definitely recommend this home to others seeking a trip to NOLA!

Our group had a great time staying here. The house was very spacious with high ceilings and large rooms which gave everyone plenty of space. Additionally, the beds were very comfortable and we spent a lot of time around the pool. Lastly, the house was just a short drive to all of the attractions New Orleans has to offer.

Best Rental Ever!
I stayed here with a group of gals to celebrate my bachelorette.
The rental was thoughtfully decorated and it was obvious the property had been lovingly cared for. It exceeded my already high expectations!
It was also the most perfect location just a block from magazine st. We all felt safe and had an amazing time!

Amazing home in great location
We stayed here in April for a week during our kids spring break. We loved the house. It is quite large, and feels very authentic to New Orleans with just the right upgrades. Location was amazing, our kids loved the pool. Def recommend and would stay again.
4.0 / 5.0
Spacious, Pleasant Home
This is a spacious home that we found to be conveniently located for the outings we chose to make. There is a playground two blocks away, the trolley stop is an 8 minute walk, and a short drive gets you to Riverwalk and other parts of New Orleans. The kitchen has all the basic cookware you’ll need as well as an espresso machine. The house is well stocked with items such as toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher pods, laundry detergent pods, and basic toiletries. The owner, Michael, is responsive to any needs you may have. There is no heating in the front part of the house, so if you go during the cooler months, be sure to pack slippers and reach out to Michael for space heaters!
5.0 / 5.0
Excellent stay!
We loved everything. The house and location are amazing! Great for a large group with easy access to all the must do’s in NOLA!
