New Orleans, Louisiana
Beautifully updated, furnished, private, stand-alone cottage apartment with exquisite finishes in safe, Uptown NOLA neighborhood. It's a studio apartment with a full sized kitchen and full sized appliances. Close to everything you want to do: eating, drinking, running on St Charles Ave or Audubon Park, zoo, Magazine Street shopping, French Quarter frolicking.
A couple was recently engaged to be married in this cottage!
Join us for The Holidays, Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Valentines Day or any of the many NOLA festivals throughout the year.
Mardi Gras Day happens at the end of our driveway. All other Uptown parades are 5 blocks away. In general, it's a great place for a single person or couple looking to get away and experience comfort and privacy.
Amenities: cable, fully equipped kitchen, gleaming white quartz countertops, white tile floor in kitchen, air/heat and stainless steel appliances, tiled bathroom, secure entrance, outdoor space and seating.
A car isn't really necessary for your visit in NOLA if you are just touring around. We are in such a central area that an Uber or Lyft are often close. We are 5 blocks from the streetcar, which takes you al the way downtown to Canal Street/French Quarter and all the way Uptown to Carrollton. You can see all the beautiful St Charles Ave mansions without having to pay attention to the road! We are 1/2 block from a bus stop. There is ample and free parking on the street, unlike downtown.
I stayed here for a full month and couldn't have been happier! This place comes sparkling clean and has all the amenities you could want or need. I could've easily been comfortable for even longer! The bed is amazingly comfortable also (and I have a very sensitive back!). Super quiet, you can sleep in (or not!) as much as you want here. Karl and Monika are amazing hosts and are quick to respond to any questions. The neighborhood is safe and there are great bars and restaurants in short walking distance that are great neighborhood places, if you're looking to avoid the bourbon street madness. Parking is abundant and everything you need is within a couple of miles. Starbucks ~5 mins, rouses grocery ~ 7 mins, fresh market ~7 mins, all the bars and restaurants you need on freret st. ~10 mins walking, ~3 mins driving. Being in a detached cottage in the back also provides privacy so you feel like you have this cozy little new orleans oasis all to yourself! Amazing find, definitely book this place!
Monika and Karl were wonderful hosts. The cottage was beautifully decorated, very clean and well appropriated. We had everything we needed for a peaceful and relaxing stay. The cottage was easy to find and centrally located to lots of amazing food and shopping! We will definitely be back again!
We really enjoyed our stay at the uptown cottage. The location was central to many restaurants and a very easy walking distance to the streetcar. The cottage itself was cozy, comfortable, and inviting. Monika and Karl were great hosts and we hope to visit again soon.
Monika and Karl's cottage was more than adequate for our (two people) stay in New Orleans. The location of the property is peaceful, and the neighborhood is beautiful. Upon arrival, Karl showed us around the place and familiarized us with the area. The cottage was spotlessly clean and we had everything we needed available to us for our weekend stay. I would definitely stay here again if I return to New Orleans.
This cottage was the perfect launch point to explore NOLA. Quiet and cozy retreat in Uptown. Tasty restaurants and cafes nearby on Freret and Magazine. Short walk to the St Charles Street Car for trips to Lafayette Cemetery in the Garden District and downtown to Ogden Museum, French Quarter and Frenchman Street. Also easy access via streetcar to Audubon Park. Monika and Karl were great hosts. Hope to return soon!
My boyfriend and I were in town for NYE! This cottage was in such a great location. It was in a pretty quiet area in Uptown, not too far from the street car to get downtown (Ubers were not that expensive to DT and home, either). Monika was a great host that was available if needed and also provided some great suggestions for restaurants/sights to see! Hoping to visit again soon!
My daughter and I stayed at the cottage for a week. Monica met us upon our arrival and showed us the cottage. She recommended some of her favorite restaurants. She checked on us while we were here, but gave us our privacy, as well. The area is very safe and secure. The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed and was within walking distance of many restaurants.
This was my very first Airbnb, I love it will not be my last, Monika & Karl made our stay wonderful, we was here for Essence Festival I had told her that we haven’t had a vacation in 8 years an she when out of her way to leave us something nice, gave us places to eat information about the area, we really enjoy our time in New Orleans an the cottage was very clean an very nice better than a hotel, very personal an quiet after a long day in town. Thanks so much for having us we appreciate you guys for being so nice, an welcoming us with open arms. Cathy & Fred
My wife and I visit NOLA every few months and typically stay in a hotel near the Quarter. This time, we though we'd try something different, so we book this cottage. It's basically a detached studio apartment behind the main house in a cool neighborhood. It has a queen bed, futon, kitchen, and bathroom. It was quiet and we felt that it was a safe area. There is street parking available. There are tons of restaurants within walking distance, so we took advantage of those several evenings. I'd suggest Sarita's Grill if you like Cuban food. The steak dinner and strawberry margarita's were awesome! To go to the quarter, you can drive and find street parking if you look or Uber cars are constantly in the general area and it was about $11 for a trip over. Our couples trip turned into a family trip at the last minute due to babysitter circumstances, but our hosts, Karl and Monika, were amazing and helped us work it out with some extra bedding and towels and some family friendly sightseeing suggestions. They were very responsive and really great hosts! We will certainly stay here again.
Monika was great! The cottage is close to many restaurants. We walked to many locations to get a taste of new orleans fare every day. There was a festival two blocks down during our stay. Great location!
