Family Friendly Historic Shotgun in Walkable Lower Garden District

Contemporary comfort within old Southern charm! Minutes to attractions! Located in the Historic Lower Garden District, in a safe and eclectic residential neighborhood. 2 miles/15 min to French Quarter, and 12 miles/25 min from MSY Airport. We keep everything comfy, cozy, and clean. After an all-day exploration of New Orleans, you will come home where you truly can relax and regenerate for the next day.

I’ve kept all the elements of a traditional, historic New Orleans home and furnished the space with this aesthetic in mind. These elements are combined with the modern convenience and comfort of custom furnishings, appliances, smart devices, electronics, and services. I offer extensive, high-quality amenities, family-oriented extras for children, safety and security features, and outdoor spaces for relaxation and fun.

My home was originally built in 1919 with many historic details kept intact since it's renovation. It is a type of two-address duplex with a layout called a "Shotgun" style home in New Orleans, also called a railroad or walk-through apartment in other regions. It is newly renovated and features 12 ft ceilings, crown molding, original hardwood floors, original brick fireplaces, mantels, original pocket doors, original transom windows, corbels, gas lanterns, stained glass, large windows, and plantation shutters. From the front porch you can see the tower of St. Mary's Assumption Church, and hear the bells chime on the hour in the distance.

Once inside, enjoy a parlor with multiple streaming entertainment platforms, full kitchen, office space, 2 bedrooms with queen size beds, a queen size pull-out sofa for different sleeping arrangements, 2 full bathrooms, shared front patio and backyard, Wi-Fi, hot tub, and central A/C and heat. I also have a pack n’ play, high chair, children’s dinnerware and bathroom amenities, safety latches and outlet covers. You can rest easy at night knowing that the property has 5 outdoor surveillance cameras, sensors on all doors and windows, indoor motion detector, and 24-hour monitoring service, as well as monthly pest control service. The home is also protected by a whole house, natural gas, generator in case of an electrical outage.

I welcome each reservation with fresh flowers, a welcome card, and a chilled bottle of champagne. I take pride in trying to include anything that a guest may need during their stay. I also constantly update what is available based on guest recommendations.

Other things to note,
I offer discounts on nightly rates, depending on the length of stay. There are no cleaning or extra guest fees. Discounts are reflected in the nightly rate you see at time of booking, depending on the details of your reservation.

My New Orleans Short-Term Rental license dictates that our maximum occupancy is 4 guests and that third-party bookings and parties/events are prohibited. Therefore, I require all reservations to confirm the identity of the primary guest (reservation holder) with a government issued photo ID at check-in before being granted access to the property. A copy of the ID will be made at this time for emergency purpose use with local law enforcement if needed. All areas of the platform profile must match the information on the ID. Failure to provide the proper ID, information not matching the profile, or having more than 4 guests total will result in being denied access. Please have your reservation accurately reflect the number of guests that will be staying.

By using the hot tub, guests agree to read and follow all rules and safety precautions, accept all liability, and will not hold hosts responsible for injury or harm resulting from it's usage. The hot tub is available year round, however host cannot guarantee its full availability on every day of a reservation if it needs to be cleaned, repaired, or drained and reheated between or during stays. Refunds will not be given based on hot tub availability. Guests may inquire about its status at any time before booking or arrival.

OUTSTANDING all the way!

Not only was their beautiful creole cottage house perfectly NOLA, street parking was super accessible and the location in the lower Garden District was just right, but the host went out of his way to help me out, even bringing me an ice pack, considering I was injured before our trip. So friendly and welcoming! All the house instructions were easily accessible, the alarm system easy to use, it was only 3 blocks to magazine st, and a couple more to the streetcar, so many restaurants to choose from within a 6 block radius, and the French Quarter is only a15 min drive away. We will 100% stay here again and we fully recommend you stay here too. Their little dog was just the cherry on top and you'll love rocking on the porch and watching everyone go by.

Came down to New Orleans for a few days with some girlfriends. The property is beautifully appointed and very clean. Lots of amenities were a really nice and unexpected touch. Kirk walked us through everything and was very communicative and helpful throughout our stay. I've stayed at a lot of rental properties and this was by far my favorite! Thanks for a great vaca!

We stayed in New Orleans for the TN vs LSU game. The drive to Baton Rouge was very easy! Kirk and Iwona’s shotgun style house was so beautiful!! Everything was perfectly appointed! The decor was amazing! The neighborhood was ok, and we felt very safe. Those traveling from larger metro areas prob wouldn’t think twice about the area. There was ample street parking. Thank you Iwona and Kirk!

Historic Home in Historic City

Loved to explore New Orleans and then come home to continue to enjoy historic feel of the city in our clean, fully stocked comfortable "Shotgun" home. Owners were right next door, to make sure we had everthing we needed, but also respected our privacy. They even were there to greet us at the door when we checked in late at 2am from our west coast flight. Unit was stocked with everything to prepare for a wedding (iron, ironing board, steamer, laundry machines) also had amazing accomodations of 10 flavors of coffee Keurig cups, lots of hair and skin products, all appliances and utilities worked 100%. We enjoyed the cooler mornings on the front porch rocking chairs and the warm evenings on the deck in the back. Will definitely recommend to friends and family and hope to come back soon. Thank you Iwona and Kirk!

Great Place to Stay with a Toddler

Couldn’t be happier with our experience. It was my wife, our 15 month old, my mother, and me. Place was very clean and well stocked. They also have everything you need for a toddler/baby including a high chair, pack and play, and some great toys. Owners were great. Very responsive and easy to work with. Walking distance to Magazine St. and parking was never a problem. Shotgun layout made it a little tricky with a baby and people going to bed at different times but other than that our stay was perfect.
