Circa 1834 brick building, The Balcony Room/Ensuite bathroom. Recently Restored/Renovated with new furnishings and fixtures. We're not a quiet corner in the Crescent City by day but at night and on weekends, our corner can be relaxing and sleepy. Our neighbor, Race & Religious, hosts wedding celebrations with live music but never past 11PM mostly weekends. We are uniquely located close to the Garden District, Arts/History, Convention Center and the French Quarter but far away with a River View!

The space
This second story balcony room is furnished with a four posted Scandinavian designed Queen size bed. The room includes a brand new en suite bathroom with walk in shower. Full of morning light, the room has 2 windows and 2 french doors. Handmade curtains offer privacy. If you want to sleep in and keep the room dark, the original 1834 solid cypress shutters can provide that. The room has its own stocked refrigerator, toaster and electric kettle.

Where you’ll be

New Orleans, Louisiana, United States

This has been our home since 1981, the 3 story main building faces Tchoupitoulas Street and the river. The 2 story out building is nestled in the heart of our historic municipal square #80. We are bounded by Race, Religious, Orange and Tchoupitoulas streets. The collection of buildings that remain at our down river end of the block were all built by Laurent Millaudon, a French sugar planter and investor. The buildings were investment rental property in the early 1830s. Today little remains of our old neighborhood but now the visitor has an urban landscape and a river vista unparalleled in the city. We are not situated on a sleepy corner in the Crescent City. During business hours Monday through Friday you can hear the vitality of the Mississippi with train whistles, ships horns and many trucks coming and going to our busy port. After hours and on weekends you may be surprised at the calm, serenaded by song birds and Monk Parrots. Music too, jazz bands, entertaining guests next door at Race & Religious, a wedding venue. We are uniquely located for the visitor who is here for work or play. Some reference points from 1503 Tchoupitoulas: 2 blocks down river to the Morial Convention Center. 4 blocks to the Second Line Studio, a full service motion picture sound stage. We are minutes away by car from the Central Business District, Federal courthouse and the vibrant Arts and Museum District. Walking from 1503 its always recommended that you walk up Race St to Magazine or Camp St if you want to walk to Canal Street and the French Quarter. Its about a 25 minute walk to the FQ. For any immediate necessities beyond what we offer in your room we have a Super Walmart 4 blocks up Religious St. on the river.

Nancy and Neil met in New Orleans back in the late 70s. In 1981 they were looking for a building and came across this historic property. At the time, 1503 stood surrounded by buildings mostly warehouses on a quiet forgotten corner of the working waterfront. They've been caring for this place ever since. They raised their two children here and rode out many Hurricanes, including Katrina. Neil is a commercial photographer working primarily with architects, designers, planners, and developers. He's dedicated to historic preservation and thoughtful adaptive reuse of historic buildings. Nancy is an artist and designer and accomplished seamstress. Her hand bags and accessories have been a feature at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival for the past 10 years. She is equally passionate and talented about good food, music and the care and upkeep of our home. They joined the AirBnB team in 2015.
