Self check-in

Check yourself in with the smartlock.
Spend the night in a light-filled, private apartment in a 19th century Faubourg St. John home, steps from Jazz Fest and oak-lined Esplanade Ave. This artfully-appointed, 800-sq ft mother-in-law unit features a king bed, pool and its own entrance on the ground floor of our historic home in a neighborhood Time Out recently rated one of the best on the planet, walkable to restaurants, bars, grocery stores, City Park and Bayou St. John.

The space
The apartment sits on the ground floor of our circa 1875 home - adjacent to our newly-completed pool - and is filled with natural light and carefully-curated furnishings.

Amenities include:

-Full eat-in kitchen
-Living room with two couches and smart TV with Netflix and YouTubeTV
-Shared electric car charger
-King-sized, memory-foam bed
-Composting service
-Sanitized bike helmets for taking advantage of nearby bike share
-Access to shared laundry facilities in the garage for guests staying a week or longer
-Weekly housekeeping available for an additional fee
-Guests staying a week or more are welcome to use our gym that includes a Peleton bike, Peleton treadmill and free weights

We have two young, energetic children who wake up early and you will sometimes hear the pitter patter of their feet above your head. Fortunately, they also go to bed early. Please also note that the apartment ceiling height is roughly 7.5', accommodating my 6'4" father-in-law comfortably. We share the property with a long-term tenant who lives in the carriage house out back.

We are passionate about environmental sustainability. To that end, the apartment benefits from solar panels; is heated and cooled by high-efficiency mini splits; and guests arriving by EV are welcome to use our level 2 car charger. We are a certified Louisiana native habitat thanks to the plants found across the property and we recently removed 1200 square feet of concrete with the aim of planting even more.

Guest access
Guests have the entire apartment to themselves, along with a covered patio with rocking chairs. The pool and 10,000 square foot yard are shared with hosts and our two kids.

Parking is free, on-street. Guests can usually park right in front of our house.

Other things to note
We look forward to hosting mature and considerate adults who will respect our home and neighbors.

-Please ask to book only if you are 25 or older, have previous stays and reviews on your profile, and include the names of all guests on your reservation.

-Only guests listed on the reservation are allowed on the property without express prior permission from hosts. Unauthorized guests are grounds for reservation termination.

-Please help preserve our linens by making use of the makeup towels provided. Guests will be charged the replacement fee for missing or damaged items, including excessively stained linens.

Our house is 150 years old with wooden floors upstairs, which means that you will sometimes hear certain noises - such as kids running around - primarily from the living room of the unit. Our children are usually asleep by 8 p.m.

Neighborhood highlights

Its artsy vibe, friendly atmosphere, and the historic bayou after which it is named make Faubourg St. John our favorite New Orleans neighborhood. Our central, Mid-City location makes it easy to get just about anywhere in town, and there's so much you can experience without setting foot in a car, from sunsets on Bayou St. John to a stroll beneath the majestic oaks on Esplanade or in City Park (home to the New Orleans Museum of Art, Bestoff Sculpture Garden, Louisiana Children's Museum, fabulous running and biking trails and lagoons filled with flora and fauna - including alligators! - great for fishing or paddling) to groceries, restaurants and bars, to say nothing of Jazz Fest season, when the neighborhood turns into one big rollicking block party.
