The space
One short block off St. Charles Avenue and the Streetcar in the Garden District, this funky, 125-year-old home is private, comfy, and centrally located. You will have your own gated driveway, and fully fenced yard.
Inside, rooms include the living room, kitchen, laundry room, bath, one downstairs bedroom, and a large loft bedroom upstairs. Please note that there is no dining room. Outside, there is a full-sized dining/patio table.
You will never share space with anyone. There are only two units on property, yours and mine, and we have separate indoor and outdoor spaces.
NOTE for legal reasons, you MUST make the reservation for the total number of people spending the night, regardless of whether they are traveling with you or meeting you here.
Please message host regarding dogs you wish to bring. Please read the House Rules for details on dog policies. Please do not bring a puppy to the house. We are not able to accommodate cats.
THE BEDROOMS:
1-4 guests will have access to (1st floor) comfortable and private downstairs bedroom with queen bed, and (2nd floor) large upstairs loft bedroom with queen bed and a full daybed. The queens have comfortable pillowtop mattresses, and the daybed is a very supportive memory foam, a great place for cozying up to read a book.
OTHER FEATURES:
The house has central heat and chilly, central A/C, plus an extra window unit in the loft for individualized comfort upstairs.
There is a small, full kitchen stocked with essentials and a laundry room with W/D, detergent, dryer sheets, and an iron with full ironing board.
Please note that the house is NOT a newly renovated space, and it retains the quirks and character of time. However, it is clean and comfortable, and has everything needed for a comfortable stay.
Outside, a gated walkway opens onto a private yard, which is exclusively yours. There is a wrought iron table with chairs, gliding bench, umbrella, and charcoal grill. It's a very private space invisible from the street, and a great place to have your morning coffee, plan your day, or wind down with some wine at the end of the night.
Due to the historic age of the home, the property does not qualify as ADA accessible. It is necessary to climb stairs to enter the property, and the doorways are not of sufficient width for wheelchair access. The bath is a traditional, step-in basin tub and shower.
ELECTRIC VEHICLES - PLEASE NOTE: The EV charger available is listed as LEVEL 1, which means a STANDARD HOUSEHOLD OUTLET. This is located next to the driveway, and guests are welcome to charge here, with no cost. There is an official charging station about 6 blocks away at a park in a beautiful area, and there is a Tesla destination charger shortly beyond that.

-WHEN BOOKING/MAKING TRAVEL PLANS: Please note your check-in time of 3pm / checkout of 11am. While we try to accommodate early arrivals or late checkouts when possible, it often is NOT possible due to other reservations and the schedule for sanitization. If you would like to ensure a morning arrival, or an afternoon/evening departure, consider reserving the day before/after your stay so that there is not a conflict with another reservation. Depending on the demand and time of year, it may be possible to reserve an extra half-day for half the cost - please inquire. Thank you for understanding!
Other things to note
Note you MUST message the host first to inquire about all Mardi Gras reservations, which include the last 2 weeks before Fat Tuesday (varying each year between late January-early March). Minimum stays apply.
Your host believes life should be filled with fun and rewarding experiences. I welcome contact from you and am happy to help whenever and wherever possible to make your stay a good one.
Note that two dogs live in the front half of the house. The house is old; you may hear them bark once in a while. They do not have access to you or your areas of the property.
