1/2 block from Parade route. Classic Garden District Greek Revival home built in 1898, The Byrnes House has all the classical architectural details - fluted Doric Columns in a double gallery, Grape leaf and bow frieze, small pediment, triglyph entablature with large dental molding. Inside are 13 ft ceilings, huge windows, plaster medallions, giant pocket doors, etc.; renovated and updated with all modern conveniences.

In addition to the great architecture, the location simply cannot be beat. The Utne Reader listed the Lower Garden District #1 on their list of the Hippest neighborhoods in the US. Surrounded by restaurants, bars, antique stores, and unique shops, you will find this to be a most interesting neighborhood. PLUS, one block to the Saint Charles Ave streetcar, and you are a short ride to the Warehouse District, French Quarter, Canal Street, the River Walk, Mid-City, City Park, Museums, Universities, Audubon Park - everything great about New Orleans. Oh yeah, did I mention that the Mardi Gras parades pass one block away on St. Charles Ave.

This historic building was home to 3 generations of accomplished men of the Byrnes family. Col. William H. Byrnes was born in Ireland in the year 1845. He came with his parents to America when a boy, and ultimately ascended to the presidency of the Hibernia Fire Insurance Co. Five successive governors of the state of Louisiana gave him the rank of Colonel on their military staffs. William H. Byrnes, Jr., was a Louisiana Senator who introduced legislation establishing Loyola University of New Orleans. William H. Byrnes, III, was the Chief Judge of the Louisiana 4th Circuit Court of Appeal.

***Note: Access to Bedroom #4 is through Bathroom #3 and up a set of narrow stairs. It may not be appropriate for the elderly, infirm, or toddlers. However, it is great for a gaggle of kids, or anyone else who wants a quiet, isolated space. ***

    We had an excellent stay at the Byrnes House! David was a great host. He was quick to respond to any questions we had, and he was very pleasant to communicate with. The house is conveniently located just a block from the streetcar, and it is beautiful both inside and out. We particularly enjoyed sitting out on the large front porch. I would definitely stay here again.

    The Byrnes House was perfect for our stay in New Orleans! The house is very well stocked, comfortable, and large. The description is also very accurate - my kids absolutely loved the hidden bedroom upstairs and talk about wanting to go back. David is a fantastic host, communicative and responsive.

    A beautiful restored 1890’s home in Lower Garden district of New Orleans. One block from streetcar, with very reasonable ‘all-day’ fares. Ample sleeping room for 10 of us, 5 grandchildren slept on 3rd floor and loved it. 2nd floor has 3 comfortable king beds. Neighborhood was quiet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Great place, a very nice, well restored historic home. Parking is pretty good for the area. Location good right in the garden district, just a block from the street car to French Quarter Only caviet is that it’s not handicapped friendly, bedrooms are all upstairs. My wife and I are in our 70s and had no problem

    We had a wonderful week staying in this beautiful home. You can’t beat the location!! It’s only one block from St. Charles and easy to walk the areas of St. Charles street and Magazine street. There is also a trolly stop at the end of the street. The owner was easy to work with and quick to reply. Looking forward to staying here again!

    This is a great spot to enjoy New Orleans! The house has plenty of space, and it has a great classic New Orleans feel. You really get to feel like you are staying in New Orleans with this location with the big porch, and lovely furnishings. It is also just a block away from the trolley that can take you right to the French Quarter, and is also just a quick ride away from Magazine St or Frenchmen St. I would definitely recommend it!

    We all loved the house, the location and how easy it was to get to the places we wanted to go. From the moment we arrived it was everything we expected and so much more. Great places to eat and drink with in walking distances and do close to street car stop. The house had everything we needed and the beds were so comfortable. We had a few nights of thunder and lightening and we spent a lot of time on the front porch as a group enjoying the storm since where we're from we don't see storms like this. We'd definitely stay Shaun the next time we're in NOLA. On a side note as the only gluten free person in our group having Tacos and Beer restaurant right down the road saved me a few times when I wasn't able to eat at the places my group wanted to eat at. 5/5 for location, friendly service and great food.

    This beautiful 1800’s home was perfect for our needs. The house was just a 1/2 a mile from our venue, which was very convenient! The location is also just one block off of St Charles in the Garden District, which is a highly sought after location. The trolley runs on St Charles which takes you to downtown, French Quarter, City Park and many other locations. It is also convenient to Magazine Street which has great shopping and restaurants. We loved the house because there are 4 large bedrooms and 5 king size beds, which were very comfortable, and 3 full bathrooms. There is plenty of room to sit with family and friends with a large living room and parlor. There is also a large kitchen and dining room, although we did not cook while there. There are too many great restaurants to eat at in New Orleans. We had no trouble parking on the street and there is off street parking at the back of the house which we never needed. David, the host was great!! Always quickly responding to any questions and offering to supply whatever we needed for our little one. David was gracious and allowed us to check in early, which was greatly appreciated! We enjoyed our stay very much and we would rent again!

    The existence of this 1800’s home is an experiential and historical gift. It’s the real thing with ceilings of at least 18 feet, large rooms, antique architectural fixtures and the southern charm that only a house of this era could have.We were so pleased with its authenticity and the manner in which this provided a true New Orleans experience. We also appreciated the flexibility on check in day as 4 individuals drove but 5 others flew in throughout the day. Thank you!

    Beautiful old home that the pictures in the listing just doesn’t do justice to being there live. Home is much bigger in real life. Comfortable with plenty of room. But best of all was walking one block to the St Charles streetcar that will take you quickly downtown or if you walk across St Charles to the Pontchartrain hotel and go to the Hot Tin bar on the 14th floor, you can enjoy a panoramic view of downtown while sipping on your favorite drink.

    This was the first time visiting for 6 out of 7 of us, ranging in age from 21-57. We are from San Francisco, so we loved the architecture, and really appreciated the gorgeous details in the house. It was a great location for us, as we walked, tram’d, or Uber’d all over the city. We loved the house— Comfortable beds, plenty of hot water, and an amazing location.

    This is more of a 4.75 place. The home is beautiful with chandeliers and high ceilings. It’s located easy walking distance to the St Charles street car. Perfect for getting around the city. The only issues are with a beautiful older house come a few “old house” problems. Nothing significant though. And the top floor is a little difficult to get to if you have any mobility problems. But I wouldn’t let that stop you from staying in this great house. Definitely recommend!!
