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 andfurnished 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.

    This might be the best home I've ever rented for vacation. Some things others should know: 1. The house is much closer to the FQ than a map would reveal. That being said, its not within walking distance. 2. Walmart is a 3 minute drive (maps say otherwise). However, the only things you'd need would be food or something on a personal level, Iwona provides A LOT more than the bare necessities. I suggest don't bring anything extra (like toilet paper, tin foil, coffee, laundry supplies) until you inspect the home to see what she already has available for use. 3. The home has 'green cards' throughout. Each instructs the renter succinctly on how to operate her home (such as lights, locks, dishwasher, etc) or informs you of expectations and explains why. Example: theres a 'live moss' picture (its so cool!) hanging high enough that small children could never reach it. The green card on the picture explains you cannot touch it or it will die. The green cards are extremely efficient and make your stay much more enjoyable as you are never left to wonder 'what if I' or 'how'. 4. White noise machines are in each bedroom. 5. The back yard is a secure, private haven. You can be out there at any hour talking and laughing with no issue. She only expects renters not to be excessively loud (screaming, music at the highest volume, etc).If you're lucky, you'll meet Matilda, the cutest dog in New Orleans! If you want comfort and clean, this is the place.

    We had such an amazing stay at this beautiful New Orleans shotgun house! The location was perfect—just a quick 5-minute walk to the Garden District, but tucked away in a quiet, peaceful neighborhood which we really appreciated after busy days exploring.The home itself was exactly what you picture when you think of a classic New Orleans shotgun house—charming, stylish, and full of character. It was also incredibly well stocked with everything we needed, which made our stay so comfortable.The host was absolutely incredible—super responsive, helpful, and made everything seamless from start to finish.We would 100% stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting New Orleans!

    We had a fantastic stay here! The neighborhood is quiet but a short walk away from great shops and restaurants. The host was so kind and welcoming, and the house was well appointed and very clean. Beds were comfy and the hot tub was an added bonus. Would definitely recommend!

    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 had a great stay and would recommend to others! Great location as only a few blocks to Magazine St and the trolley on St Charles. Loved having the backyard and hot tub to unwind in the evening. The bottle of champagne was a special treat. Hosts were wonderful and house was well stocked and very clean. Thanks for having us!
