The space
Built in the 1860's, "Little Orange" is half of a "shotgun"; thus, it boasts the hallmarks of traditional New Orleans architecture: 13 foot ceilings, cypress mantels, pocket doors, tall shuttered windows, and hardwood floors. The shutters are a vibrant orange to remind you of this city's Caribbean spirit. Bienvenue aux tropiques!

The apartment is fully furnished and appointed, the space comprised of a living-room, an equipped kitchen, one bedroom, and bath. There's wifi, a large flat screen 50 inch TV, burglar alarm, granite counters, a glassed-in shower, stainless steel appliances, and a handcrafted cypress pencil-post queen bed. And a great book collection too!

The apartment is designed for two. The queen cypress bed sports a Comfort Dreams Select-A Memory Foam (medium-firm) mattress, and previous guests say it's very comfortable! There is no longer a pull-out sleeper couch; however, you can sleep comfortably on the standard (Restoration Hardware, down-filled) couch by simply removing the back cushions.

The front porch overlooks a full block of green space (Annunciation Square Park), home to many soccer and kickball games. There's a basketball court in the park as well. I spend more time on the porch than I do in my living-room given the view. The porch also overlooks a small butterfly garden where a small fountain burbles. It's a great place to drink coffee in the morning and wine in the evening, and I hope the night-blooming jasmine is working its perfume when you're here.

The apartment is an easy stroll to lower Magazine Street, known for its many boutiques, antique shops, bars, and eateries, as well as to the Warehouse District/CBD and French Quarter. Please check out my map/guidebook. I've mainly tagged places to which you can easily stroll, but I'm happy to offer suggestions for outings in farther flung areas of town. The house is not far from the Convention Center, Mardi Gras World/Productions, a popular wedding venue on Race & Religion, as well as Second Line Stages. If you are in town for a conference/event or working on a film, my location can't be beat. Likewise, if you're in town for a game, a cheap cab ride gets you to the Super Dome quickly. This neighborhood has been dubbed one of New Orleans' hottest for obvious reasons. There really is a ton to see and do (and eat) right here.

For those interested in getting out to explore other parts of the city/state, it's worth knowing that my location offers convenient access to I-10. No need to traverse all of uptown or the Quarter to find the interstate. The on-ramp is three blocks away, which means the West Bank is five minutes away, the airport, 20 without traffic. If you don't have a car, the bus runs along both Magazine and Tchoupitoulas. Public "blue bikes" are one block away too. I bought this property for its convenience of location.

Although the apartment is an easy distance to many hot spots, the neighborhood itself is quiet--another reason I bought this property. Your sleep will not be disturbed by traffic or street cheer. The Mississippi rolls by just two blocks away, so the hood has a sultry "edge of town" feel. I love this about it. Neither uptown nor downtown, it floats in between, spooned by the river.

Regretfully, pets are not allowed.

Guest access
Guests have access to the entire apartment and front porch. The park across the street--with its play area for little ones--is yours to enjoy too. Free street parking available directly in front of the house; however, street work is soon scheduled to begin and parking will be impacted.

Other things to note
Many guests ask if it is safe to walk from Little Orange to the French Quarter and back again, and while I have never had a scary experience, New Orleans is a big city with unpredictable crime. My recommendation is to always take a cab after dark--especially if you've been drinking. Don't run the risk of becoming a target. Take a cab and be safe.

Currently the city is implementing green infrastructure features to its stormwater drainage system. Designated streets are being dug up so new waterlines can be put in. Road work is currently happening in the immediate area Mon - Fri., and I will do my best to answer any questions you may have. So far guest access and parking has not been impacted--but it will likely be impacted soon (Feb. 2026).

My understanding is that more infrastructure work is scheduled to begin in Annunciation Square Park spring of 2026. This likely means there will be construction noise very close to the house.
