About this property

Historic Ursulines Gem near FQ | Historic Getaways

Summary:

Historic charm radiates from this lovingly restored 1856 Creole Cottage. Located on a gorgeous block in the Tremé neighborhood just two-blocks from tree-lined Esplanade Avenue. Featuring antique furniture, beautiful, New Orleans-inspired paintings done by local artists, and original hardwood floors, this cozy cottage has it all. Sip a cocktail on the back patio surrounded by bamboo before you hit the French Quarter, just a five minute-walk away. Welcome!



The Space:

Please note that the pool is not heated and is only available for use up in warm months, typically April-October. We take the pool down during the cooler months. Also, the pool is shared with other neighboring units.



Like most NOLA houses, this is a walk-through (no hallways) but the front and side doors allow separate access to bedrooms if need be.



Short Term Rental is a highly debated subject in New Orleans. Please help us show the community that respectful responsible tourism can bring meaningful cultural exchange and be an overall positive experience for your group and our city.



Our small management company supports 25 workers and their families, all of whom are paid a living wage, and all of us live, work, and play in New Orleans. Our maintenance crew, cleaning crew, booking staff and customer service staff work hard to ensure you have the best stay possible. The proceeds from your stay help us feed our families and invest in the renovation and restoration or historic homes in the area. Our units are 100% owned by locals, not big companies, hotels, or out-of-town investors. All of the homes we restore were either sold vacant, uninhabitable, legally blighted or condemned. We have saved many houses from demolition and we have never evicted long term residents from the houses that we have available for rent.



Beautiful, fun, & funky 200-year-old historic home in the heart of downtown. Soaring ceilings, gorgeous architecture. 4 blocks to the French Quarter, half a mile to frenchmen and the river, super close to fun bars, food, coffee, and public transport.



Please be courteous to my neighbors and respectful of my home. Keep the noise inside the house and the partying in the French Quarter. The quality of life of my neighbors come first above all other things. If you are looking to rage and rockstar out - please look elsewhere. If you are being out of line, myself or my property manager will come discuss your conduct with you and we reserve the right to evict your group if y'all are being out of line. Be a good ambassador of the place you are from and for short term rentals. Do not put my business license in jeopardy and everything will work out great for us both.



The homeowner and assistant will be available if you need us. We will always be around and happy to hang, suggest a destination, or answer any questions. We are thirtysomething, easygoing, and fun yet responsible people. Have as little interaction with us as you like, or hit us up for whatever. We're happy to oblige.



The Treme is a fantastically bright, safe, beautifully historical neighborhood! Lots of families, lots of community, and gorgeous old homes that you won't see anywhere else in the world. It's a true gem. With gorgeous Louis Armstrong Park coming alive on the weekends with concerts and cultural events, you can't go wrong hanging out in the Treme. Plus, it's right across the street from the Quarter, where all great touristy destinations lie!



We are a couple blocks walk to 4 different bus lines that will connect you to the streetcar or carry you uptown. 4 blocks to new rampart street car line. Uber and taxis are abundant if you want to cab it.



This listing is 1 private unit in a B&B. Other parts of the home may occupied in the building, though they have separate entrances and the only shared area is the backyard.



The Neighborhood:

The Tremé is a fantastically bright, safe, beautifully historic neighborhood with lots of families, lots of community, and gorgeous old homes. Louis Armstrong Park comes alive at weekends with concerts and cultural events.



Getting Around:

This property is in a residential neighborhood so please respect our neighbors as you would your own!

This was an ideal location for our week in Nola which was a combo of pleasure and work. The host was five stars incredible, and we loved our stay!! So so convenient to everything, and we appreciated the option for the pool, proximity to Tremé Coffeehouse, and walkable to the French Quarter! We will be back!!

Perfect location for the price

The owner is one of the best i have ever dealt with, communicates very well. The location was perfect just about a 10 minute walk from bourbon street. The listing it self was nice, very spacious and comfortable. I would 100% refer to all of my friends or anyone traveling to the new orleans area.

We stayed on the top floor of this house. It was a large space with plenty of beds and two bathrooms, which was a huge benefit. The neighborhood was quiet and very calm. We were presently surprised by how safe we felt walking back to the house at night from the French Quarter. Cute little café literally steps from the house. Had a delicious breakfast there, twice. And a little convince store the next block over that had anything you might need in a pinch. Great location, walking distance from the French Quarter but far enough away to get out of the busyness and nightlife.

Fairly steep stairs to get to the space. Well maintained but should be noted for those with mobility concerns.

Great stay in a vibrant neighborhood

We really enjoyed Tremé neighborhood and this historic home. It was just as presented in the listing, the communication was clear and timely, and they provide recommendations in the welcome book. There are two charming cafes very close by, and it's a very short walk to Louis Armstrong Park. The space in the bedrooms is tight because it's an old building. Given the long staircase, not recommended for anyone with mobility issues.

Great house, sketchy neighborhood

I personally did not stay at the house. Sons and college friends did en route between states. They said the house, well the upstairs where they stayed, was unique and had a lot of character but they felt the neighborhood too sketchy to go out late when they arrived (10ish). Their car was NOT broken into NOR did they have a bad encounter but they didn't feel safe to walk to Bourbon Street. I only had correspondence with Host and he was excellent.

We had a great stay at this house! The home was cute, clean, and in a convenient location. One thing that pleasantly surprised us was the sleeping arrangements. The listing didn't fully convey how many beds there were—each of the three bedrooms had two beds, for a total of six beds, plus the couches pulled out into beds as well. It comfortably accommodated our group.We were also a little concerned about running out of hot water since there were five women staying for the weekend, but it was never an issue. The house has two showers, which made getting ready much easier since multiple people could shower at the same time.The location was another big plus. There was a really cute breakfast spot right on the corner with great coffee and food, and we loved being within walking distance of Bourbon Street, the French Market, and other popular attractions.Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend this property to others visiting New Orleans!

Great little place in the Treme

Great little cottage in the Treme. Came with a group of 6 for a bachelor party and had a great time! Only one word of caution for tall folks out there (we had 3 guys over 6 feet tall): the common area has slanted ceilings that come down pretty low and you may need to duck or crouch.

Quintessential Treme neighborhood, convenient, clean and worth it!

Property has a nice outdoor area in the back. The owners are attentive and kind locals. We had a bunch of girls for my sisters bachelorette party and here was enough space for us all! I’d rent again if I needed a place that size.

Convenient

We had 10 girls stay here on a weekend in April for a bachelorette party. There was plenty of room for everyone and we really enjoyed the outdoor patio and the big living room space. The coffee shop next door was also convenient and we felt like we could walk to Bourbon Street easily and safely. Our one suggestion for the owners is to add some mirrors in the place. There are two bathrooms with one small mirror in each of them. With 10 girls getting ready all at once, this was a little problematic! We had people using the reflection of themselves in the microwave or TV to put on makeup :)

Great place to crash

The house has multiple apartments in the building and this one is in the top of the house. Great place that fit our needs. We just needed a place for 9 people to crash at the end of the night and relax at times during the day. Had enough sleeping for 10 without having to share beds. Nothing fancy but for the price it was great! Even had a keurig with coffee for the mornings. Small bakery/coffee shop next door was nice. Short walk to Bourbon street and Frenchman street. Only critique was that the Wifi didn't really work throughout the apartment but we weren't there enough for it to matter. Owners were fantastic and responsive! Would definitely stay here again.
