New Orleans, Louisiana
The cottage is sunny, classic New Orleans shotgun cottage with modern updates in a wonderful, walkable and friendly neighborhood ten blocks from Audubon Park and the Zoo and River.
Hardwood floors and high ceilings hold ceiling fans and a comfortable couch and chair lends to lounging. The open full kitchen with new appliances and a large oak dining table is a comfortable place to share a meal, play a game, or decorate your Mardi Gras throws. Lovely light and eleven foot ceilings and ceiling fans will make you feel at home.
The bedroom has simple Art Deco furniture and high thread count sheets and bedding. The bedroom leads to the bathroom with claw foot tub for soaking your dancing feet and dreaming as well as a shower.
The back door opens to the screened porch, my favorite room in the house, perfect for sipping your cocktail under the swirling ceiling fan. The brick patio could be your next crawfish boil site with a comfy table and chairs for those beautiful languid evenings. The small house in the back has a full-sized washer/dryer.
Sauter around uptown New Orleans with fabulous food within walking distance in all directions, including the best poboys in town. St. Charles Avenue, Audubon Park and the Mississippi River all within ten blocks of the cottage.
A very positive experience in all ways one would hope for
This place completely hit all marks on what i was looking for. I was looking for a 30 day rental while visiting that was in a safe area close to my mom's place near Napoleon. Amy's house is excellent for one person or a couple. There's generous space for living and even having company over. The kitchen and living room combo was great. She had all of the amenities you'd need for cooking and you can still host or watch tv. The bedroom had a very comfortable queen bed with a dresser for storage in addition to an open closet storage area right in front of the bathroom. The storage closet also had an extra set of linens for guests or if you'd like to wash the ones on the bed. The bathroom is a great space with a precious clawfoot tub. There is a washer, dryer and dish washer kindly all available for your use. Amy's property is located 4 blocks from an excellent spot on magazine where you can go to shop, get coffee, get lunch and even get groceries. Winn Dixie is three blocks in the other direction if you're looking you shop local. I really lucked out with this rental. Thanks again, Amy.
Wonderful, easy, adorable, convenient place to stay!!
We loved staying in the cottage. It was convenient to shopping and St Charles street car, also felt very safe!
Can't say enough good things about this little shotgun house - located in a neat established neighborhood with great amenities (grocery, restaurants, and more!) and in easy proximity to the Convention Center, French Quarter, and more without having to stay right in the hullabaloo or pay ridiculous hotel prices, parking, and wifi fees. The house itself is ADORABLE, furnished comfortably, and had everything we needed - comfy bed and sofa bed with plenty of quality cotton linens, fully equipped kitchen with a large dining table for working in the evening (we stayed for a conference at the convention center), an adorable bathroom and closet setup with thought to needed space for toiletries and such, plenty of good towels, an adorable screened porch and private backyard for relaxing after a long day. Felt safe in this neighborhood, and periodically left the car and Ubered to other parts of the city where parking or safety were a concern. Would DEFINITELY want to stay here again when traveling to NOLA. Amy is fantastic - communicative, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed, as well as suggestions of things to do/see, places to eat, etc! Highly recommend!!1
This property had everything I needed. Loved the layout, the kitchen accessories, and the location. Will return !!!!
Amy and her husband addressed the few small issues we had as best they could from far away. Great location, comfy bed, very clean, lots of linens, and fully stocked kitchen. Great place to stay in a neighborhood and pretend we still live in our favorite city!
We had a very nice stay. Quiet neighborhood but only three blocks from Whole Foods and District Coffee on Magazine St. Even closer to Octavia Books and breakfast/brunch at Toast one block from house. Easy walk to Audubon Park.
We really enjoyed this lovely one bedroom home. It was clean and well equipped. Had a sweet backyard. Short walk to great restaurants and shopping. I would have given it a five except the bed was very soft and the shower set up was cramped. Overall loved the stay. And would recommend this house and the host
We really enjoyed our stay in this clean, quiet, well-appointed shotgun cottage in a great Uptown location. Walking distance to great food and shopping. Amy was great to work with. We'll definitely stay here again!
