The Space:

Nestled within the historic embrace of New Orleans' Central Business District, The Picayune stands as a living testament to the city's rich history, with roots that delve deep into the realm of journalism. Originally home to the historic newspaper, The Times-Picayune, this renovated building boasts a connection to the bustling atmosphere of Newspaper Row, a designation used to describe this block of Camp Street.

Newspaper Row, was a vibrant stretch of Camp Street, and was once the epicenter of the city's journalistic endeavors. The Daily Picayune was a prominent player in this dynamic landscape, and its former headquarters in this building have been carefully transformed into the modern incarnation that is The Picayune today.

Stepping into The Picayune is like stepping into a living history book. The building pays homage to its journalistic legacy, with several framed restored prints of original newspapers, dating back to 1890, throughout the building and condo for your enjoyment. It serves as a bridge between the past and the present, where the echoes of historic headlines and the hum of a bustling newsroom can almost be heard through the decades.

Embrace the theme of Vintage Advertisement as you step into this 2-bed, 2-bath condo at The Picayune. The thoughtfully designed space features an upstairs king bedroom with a private sitting area and bathroom, complete with a tub/shower combo for a luxurious experience. Revel in the spaciousness and privacy offered by this master retreat. The downstairs bedroom, hosting a king bed, is equally inviting, with a cleverly designed hallway bathroom that transforms into a private oasis when the door is closed. This clever configuration adds a touch of versatility to the space.

The condo's meticulous design extends beyond the bedrooms. The open living space and high ceilings contribute to the overall sense of airiness, while original brick accents provide a nod to the building's historical charm. Step onto the balcony to enjoy a refreshing drink at the table or bask in the warmth of the sun. Modern amenities, including stainless appliances and Roku-equipped TVs, seamlessly blend with the historic touches, creating a distinctive and comfortable atmosphere.

Stay connected with high-speed WiFi and enjoy complimentary water and Gatorade to keep you refreshed during your stay. Dive into the city's rich coffee culture with French Market Coffee provided, allowing you to savor a quintessential New Orleans experience right in the comfort of your own space. Whether you're here for business or leisure, The Picayune's Vintage Advertisements themed condo adds an extra layer of character to your stay, ensuring that your time in New Orleans is as memorable as it is comfortable.

The CBD serves as the city's bustling commercial and financial hub, characterized by its iconic skyscrapers, lively streets, and a unique fusion of old-world architecture and contemporary design.

    This is an adorable place to stay. Easy walk to most things. Comfortable beds. I gave 1 less star because we had a couple of issues. Ceiling leaked a lot, dryer not working and water dispenser on fridge not functioning. They were responsive and friendly to our call, but didn't fix anything till we left.

    The property was great, good location and well appointed. The host was most accommodating. My wife and I were there with her son and his wife and daughter. When they arrived we found the fire sprinkler in their bedroom was leaking and the bedding was wet, so they moved them into the unit across the hall for the duration of our stay. Everything worked out perfectly!

    The first night we stayed there was a leak in the downstairs bathroom, which of course was annoying. But our biggest surprise came the next day when we discovered a very large cockroach on the ceiling in the living room. This left us feeling our food was vulnerable and we put everything in the refrigerator. We paid far too much money to deal with these issues.

    The condo is beautiful! The building is well maintained. The host was super communicative and helpful. the host included little extras that most do not, trash bags, laundry soap, etc. So nice! We stayed Mardi Gras weekend, so it was a bit noisy, but that is to be expected. If you are looking for a fantastic place to stay in the middle of it all and walk to all of the parades, this is the place for you. The parades are right around the corner! Easy walk to the French Quarter. Highly recommend!

    We had a fantastic experience staying at this beautiful condo during Essence Festival. From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The unit was spotless, stylish, and fully equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable and relaxing trip.Barbara, our main contact, was amazing—she reached out before and after our arrival to make sure we were comfortable and familiar with everything in the condo. She was super helpful, responsive, and incredibly personable, which made our stay even better.One of the standout touches was the optional concierge service—Candace picked up our groceries and stocked the fridge before our arrival for a small fee. That thoughtful detail made settling in so much easier after traveling.The beds were super comfortable, and there were plenty of fresh linens and towels. We loved gathering in the spacious main living area and around the kitchen bar—perfect for group bonding! The condo even included a large umbrella for the patio, which was a nice bonus for enjoying the outdoor space.Everything was just as described, if not better. We had a wonderful time and will absolutely stay here again on our next trip to New Orleans!

    If you want to be close to the action but able to retreat, this is the perfect spot! Two blocks off Canal Street in the central business district, it was a simple stroll to everything from the WWII Museum to the French Quarter and everything in between. The apartment features two king size bedrooms with a ton of space to spread out, en-suite bathrooms (one with a shared door to the living area). The kitchen had plenty of dishes, glassware and silverware along with cookware. The hosts leave coffee, water, and essentials like salt and pepper etc. There is a family room with a tv, we never watched it, but if you did the sofa is good for two people and the chair is good for one - so if you have 4 in your party one person will be in a less comfortable plastic chair. The dining table has 4 chairs and there is also seating at the countertop bar. The apartment has a washer and dryer with soap for a load. The air con was good and necessary upstairs. They provided hairdryers and some “I forgot” soaps and shampoos, but don’t rely on that. There is no view out the windows - the balcony overlooks the trash alley, the first bedroom is a full interior room and the upstairs bedroom looks out onto a cement building facade with drainage. Even so there was nice daylight in the apartment upstairs and down. We were very happy there and the location was perfect.

    We recently stayed here for JazzFest and picked it because of the proximity to the Sheraton Shuttle Stop. We were SO impressed. The unit was spotless and impeccably appointed with obvious attention to detail. (The pans and utensils were high quality, the towels thick and fluffy, and just beautifully decorated.) We checked out the P3 Bar/Restaurant next door and were delighted to have super friendly bartenders with probably one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. The communication on arranging parking, arrival and departure was really great, and I very much appreciated the inclusion of what was stocked in the kitchen. It made packing much easier. Honestly one of the best VRBO's I've stayed in. We have already booked another trip for the fall. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

    I was so impressed by this place—super clean, stylish, and well-kept! Communication with the host was smooth, and cleanup at the end was quick and easy, which made everything even better.Just a heads-up for future guests: the upstairs bedroom doesn’t have a door, but since it’s the only room up there, it didn’t bother our family—we just kept the noise down in the living room. The downstairs bedroom has an open section near the ceiling, so sound travels a bit. That said, we were in town for a festival and it worked out perfectly for our group!We couldn’t be happier with our stay and will definitely book again!

    We stayed at the VacayNOLA condo as a family of 3 (two adults and one elementary-age kid). Couldn't have asked for a better stay. The condo was beautiful and had all the amenities we needed. The location is an easy walk from Canal Street, French Quarter, several places to eat, and both streetcar lines. The condo was spotlessly clean and quiet. I'm glad we chose to stay west of Canal to avoid the noise of the Quarter. Barbara with VacayNOLA was so helpful and answered all of our tourist questions. Would definitely stay in that same exact spot again.

    I love getting what is advertised and though that wasn't technically true in this case (unit shift at the last minute due to force majeure), it was still very true in the basic sense, meaning the location lived up to its billing. We were a stone's throw from all the action on Canal and just a 15-min walk from the FQ proper. The apartment itself was cozy and had all the modern amenities. REALLY appreciate Barbary's communication along the way while we checked in / out. If she'd have been less responsive, this might've been a pretty frustrating experience.

    A wonderful apartment close to all the action. Totally suitable for our visit. My brother and his wife plus my husband and I exploring New Orleans. Beautiful and clean well appointed everything we needed. The only downside was the parking but that was clearly stated on the VRBO site. Parking was in a multi story across the road but very expensive. Would certainly recommend it.
