About this property

Historic Lower Garden District Apt. - 1 1/2 blocks from Mardi Gras parades

LONG-TERM/MONTHLY RENTERS Tastefully furnished 1 bedroom, 1 & 1/2 bathroom apartment within historic 1850s Italianate home just 1 & 1/2 blocks from St. Charles Avenue/uptown Mardi Gras parade routes in New Orleans' historic Lower Garden District. Half a block from Coliseum Square Park. Close to Magazine Street restaurants, shopping, and more. Walking distance to French Quarter.

ENTRY
The apartment is accessed through an ‘alley way’ off the side of the main house and through the side yard (which is currently a work-in-progress). The apartment has its own separate entrance. Once you open the door, you climb the staircase up to the second floor of the home.

SECOND FLOOR LEVEL/MAIN LIVING AREA
The main area features a large open living room furnished with modern art and a tasteful combination of genuine mid-20th century furniture and 19th century antiques, as well as some contemporary additions. The living room has a Joybird sleeper sofa with a queen-size memory foam mattress and a flat screen TV. The open kitchen is complete with a salvaged cypress island that comfortably seats two, a Wolf gas stove/oven, 2 dish washer drawers, a farm-house sink, and plenty of cabinets, which are stocked with your basic cooking needs. Behind the kitchen is the pantry, which houses the stacked washer/dryer, refrigerator, and microwave. There is also a small powder room with sink and toilet and a small balcony that runs the length of the living room/kitchen with 2 chairs and a table.

THIRD FLOOR LEVEL
The upper level houses the master bathroom which features an over-sized shower and, a few steps further up, the bedroom, which has a Queen size bed, a small closet and a chest-of-drawers. Both spaces feel spacious despite the sloping ceilings.

Comfortable & Convenient NOLA Stay

Our wonderful hosts have a cozy, clean, and very comfortable apartment. The bed is extremely comfortable, there are plenty of linens, the kitchen has everything you’d need if your cooking-in, and their welcoming snacks are irresistible! We walked to the WWII museum (15 min), to the garden district tour (15 minutes to Lafayette Cemetery), and took the street car to the French Quarter (5 minutes to stop). I highly recommend staying here!

Perfect location

My girlfriend and I had the pleasure of staying here, and it was the perfect location: close to the trolley to the French Quarter, and within walking distance of the WWII museum, and Magazine Street. The house was immaculate, well decorated, and Bettine was a great hostess. I can’t recommend her place enough.

Felt so welcomed!

The property is pristine, and the hospitality of the owner is unparalleled. She is truly a class act. My daughter stayed with me for 2 of the nights, and she was even blown away by the personal touches. I felt so welcomed, and everything I needed or forgot was there. I’m grateful I found this Vrbo, and I highly recommend it.

The site was just as the pictures promised. Once I slowed down and read the entry info I got in with ease. The amenities were wonderful and the host was so very generous with wine, snacks and water. I will definitely book another stay at this gem that was minutes away from the dome.

Spectacular

There just are not enough positive things we can say. Bettine was so kind and welcoming. She was very knowledgeable about her city and she even had treats for my Birthday!! The apartment was just beautiful! Exactly as represented and then some. Immaculately clean and comfortable. We parked on the street right in front of our entry way and never drove again until we left. Just a short walk to the St. Charles street car that took us everywhere all week. Perfectly located between uptown and the Quarter. Even walking distance to Magazine. We will stay again and again. Already planning for October.

Perfect spot for a trip to New Orleans

Bettine and Micheal were the perfect host. The greeted us as we arrived and helped us in with our one too many bags :). The accommodations were great quietly positioned in the back of the house. She had some wine and local beers for us to enjoy when we arrived and the location was perfect for dining and coffee on Magazine was just a short walk away, We will definitely stay here again when we visit the city.

Truly a Wonderful VRBO Experience!

My wife and I have stayed in dozens of VRBO's both in the U.S. and internationally. Without question this was the most positive experience we've had with a VRBO host. Bettine could not have been more accommodating and helpful. First, we were greeted with bottles of wine, beer, sodas, water, seltzer waters, and Zapp's upon arrival. During our stay Bettine checked in on us via text multiple times to make sure our stay was going well. As for the apartment, it was spotlessly clean, roomy, well stocked with cooking items, linens, toiletries, etc. The location is fantastic with many eating/drinking locations within a few minute walk. Also it's relatively easy to walk downtown and the St. Charles streetcar line is less than a 5 minute walk. My wife and I cannot recommend this place enough! We look forward to our next stay in Bettine's apartment.

Home base for our wonderful trip!

The apartment was wonderful! Bettine was very responsive to any question and very helpful for things to do. The apartment was beautiful and close to the trolly line. Easy to find and parking was rather easy. So many things close on Magazine St and St Charles. And it's walking distance to the WW2 Myseum and the rest of the French Quarter. You'll be well looked after here!

Luxury in the lower garden district

Bettine is an absolute gem. She was so sweet, thoughtful and was easy to communicate with- she's a super host! The rental is in a great location and felt like we were in our own luxury home. It had all we needed (and more) was tastefully decorated with high end touches and it has beautiful light coming in. Absolutely recommend!

Loved it! Gorgeous & clean. Everything you would need in the kitchen. Bettina is an amazing host. We’ve stayed in so many rentals, but I’ve never had a host leave us a welcome bottle of wine, some chips, and some soft drinks. She also had a full stock of k-cups in a few varieties for the Keurig. The apartment is super clean and super nice. Several restaurants within walking distance. We loved it!

Wonderful Space and Great Location!

We were in the city for a wedding on St. Charles this past weekend. This was the perfect location set in between the wedding venue and Magazine St. so walking to restaurants and shops was easy. I loved this place, even though there are a lot of stairs! The balcony was very nice too, and the host has thought of everything a guest might need on thier stay. We also were met with drinks and snacks on our arrival. Great place, great hosts!
