Get ready to hit the ground like a local when you step out the door of our historic home, in the exciting Treme neighborhood! If you have seen the HBO show "Treme" you'll know how beautiful and vibrant this neighborhood is -- full of stunning architecture, music and great food. We are 2 blocks away from Kermit Ruffins' Mother In Law Lounge and the Treme Hideaway (owned by a member of the Rebirth Brass Band) - and both clubs have music nightly. We're also about 4 blocks from the famed Frenchmen Street, which is lined with music clubs of all kinds. Great restaurants are a short stroll away and you can easily walk to the French Quarter (15 minute walk) or to the Jazz Fest Fairgrounds, (or you can self-rent one of those Blue Bikes a half a block from our house). If you want to head uptown to the Garden District you can take the historic streetcar (those cute "Trolley's you see in all Nola ads), which is 6 blocks away, or take a 10-minute Uber/Lyft ride.
But as close as you are to everything, our house is tranquil and quiet so you can get a great night's sleep on our extremely comfortable beds with 1,000-thread count sheets and luxury comforters.
Our home was built in 1866 and furnished with antiques so you feel like you're experiencing old New Orleans, but was recently completely renovated with all of the comforts and amenities of a modern home, including central heat and air, instant hot water and screaming fast Wi-Fi. (You'll just feel like you've stepped back in time).
This listing is for one or two bedrooms (you may rent it as either a 1-bedroom or a 2-bedroom and pricing is commensurate.); The primary suite has an ensuite bathroom (with clawfoot tub and rain shower). The king-sized canopy bed has opulent linens and netting to make you feel like the belle of the ball. There is also a private seating area and a large desk, which is fully stocked with office supplies, and the back door opens up to a private deck and yard. The second bedroom, with a Queen-sized bed, also outfitted with 1,000 thread-count sheets and luxury bedding, has a vanity table and fainting couch for your Southern belle moments. Both bedrooms have ample wooden hangers. A second guest bathroom with deep tub and shower is right across the hall. In both bathrooms we supply all kinds of amenities like shampoo, conditioner and body wash, but also contact solution, sun screen, toothpaste, blow dryers, flat irons, hair spray, Q-tips, makeup remover wipes, face wash, etc. There are plenty of fluffy 100% Egyptian cotton towels.
The fully outfitted kitchen has everything you'll need to make a complete gourmet dinner if you so choose. We have staples like spices, oil and vinegar, an array of condiments and all of the gadgets you could ask for, like a coffee bean grinder, Cuisinart coffee maker, popcorn maker, Magic Bullet blender, Toaster, Electric Kettle, etc. We provide varietal-correct Riedel stemware, hand-painted plates from France, and Cuisinart pots and pans. But since we're walking distance to some of the best restaurants in America, you might not ever touch the kitchen -- it's your vacation! We supply great coffee (Regular, Decaf and Coffee with Chicory) and half n' half and multiple types of sweetener, so maybe you just sip coffee in the sunny backyard before heading out to make some Nola memories.
The great room/living room has soaring cathedral ceilings with skylights, and those beams you see are the original beams from the attic (which has been opened up) circa 1866. For those relaxing times we've got a flat screen TV in the living room ALL of the streaming channels for free (Netflix, HBO-Max, Apple+, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, Starz, Showtime, Paramount+, Peacock. Also an assortment of games and books.
We have a private, free, gated and locked carport for one car, and plenty of free street parking as well.
Once you book we'll send you all kinds of recommendations for places to eat and drink and fun things to do like antiquing, parades and second lines, swamp tours, massage and spa services, cooking classes, craft cocktail bars and dive bars, museums, history or ghost-themed walking tours, seances, tarot card readers -- whatever you're looking for!
