Experience the local flavor in our private completely renovated shotgun double in one of the city’s coolest neighborhoods. This private Marigny home is one block from the French Quarter, less than a 5 minute walk to Frenchman Street & Bourbon Street, moments from Jackson Square, a short bike ride to Midcity, and 4 blocks to our complimentary secure parking space. It is also centrally located between the Riverwalk Streetcar Line as well as the new Rampart Streetcar Line. Built in 1905, our brothel style shotgun (meaning it has a hallway running through the house for added bedroom privacy) retains the architecture you expect in a New Orleans home. High 12 foot ceilings, giant windows, original decorative brick fireplaces, restored pine wood floors, open kitchen/living space with pocket doors for privacy, and private courtyard/patio — you get the idea. Its charm represents a home of its era, an open traditional shotgun with four bedrooms/two baths each complete with a QUEEN SIZE BED and ceiling fan. There is a 55 inch plasma screen in the living room with access to Netflix. The kitchen is completely furnished with fridge, stove/oven, dishwasher, coffee maker, blender and microwave. Cutting boards, pots, plates, and basics utensils will be provided as well. If you have any requests please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate! The home has Central AC/Heat so you will always have a comfortable place to relax. We also provide linens and towels, shampoo/conditioner/soaps/iron/clothes hangers, as well as a hair dryer so you can save the space in your travel bag! The private back patio has ample seating and greenery. There is a mature Satsuma tree that you are welcome to pick from for morning juice and mimosas.

Faubourg Marigny was actually the 1st subdivision in New Orleans that developed from a factory area to the culturally rich neighborhood filled with Creole cottages that it is today. The City of New Orleans started with just the area now known as the “Vieux Carre,” or the “French Quarter.” New Orleans grew north from Rampart Street into what is now Faubourg Treme, eventually linking up to Bayou St. John, in what is now “Mid City.” As the city continued to grow, plantation owners began breaking up their tracts of land into smaller lots to sell to newcomers. The first plantation owner to do this, Bernard Marigny de Mandeville, owned the land just downriver from Esplanade Avenue.
