SUGAR BOWL HQ! Renovated, Historic Bayou St John gem just 2 miles to Superdome!

Beautifully renovated historic home only 2 mile quick Uber to the Sugar Bowl!

Mid City Bayou St. John is one of New Orleans' safest and most desirable neighborhoods and ranked the #1 "coolest" neighborhood in entire USA by Time Out magazine in 2023.

Home is walking distance to City Park, famous restaurants Cafe Degas, Lola's, Santa Fe, 1000 Figs, and iconic watering holes like Pal's Lounge, Liuzza's, and Deutches Haus Beer Hall.

Start your mornings right just one block away at the legendary
CC's Coffee House featuring New Orleans best coffee and king cakes!

Walk to City Park and it's new Cafe Du Monde location for beignets. Walk to Streetcar, Live Music, Jazz Fest & The Fairgrounds Race Track, Casino, and Sports Book.

This newly remodeled home was built in the late 1800s as a classic "Shotgun" and later updated to provide three private bedrooms and two full baths. The original heart pine flooring has been beautifully restored throughout. Historic architectural attributes remain such as 12 ft high soaring ceilings, ornate millwork, stained glass, antique transom windows, aged hearths, and original solid oak 5 panel doors. Homes are no longer built with this level of artisanship.

New gourmet chef's kitchen is a dream featuring Viking 5 series professional appliances including 36" gas range and hood, huge 42" side by side refrigerator, drawer microwave, and dishwasher. Beautiful dining room includes Grange solid walnut furnishings from France.

The primary bedroom suite has a queen sleigh bed and attached full bath. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms both have queen beds. 2nd full bath is off the central hallway. Both bathrooms recently renovated.

There are 3 wall mounted TVs. Fast and reliable WIFI for work and streaming. We also include "Cox Ultimate" cable with premier sports package w/ NFL Network, HBO, Showtime, & Cinemax. DVR on each TV if you want to record that sports game or favorite show. There is a comfortable work station armoire in the dining room if you need to bring your laptop.

No cleaning fees or departure chore list.

This faubourg (neighborhood) was the first French settlement in New Orleans. Nearby Cafe Degas is arguably the best French restaurant in New Orleans. On the banks of Bayou St. John, this neighborhood is known for its architecture, live music, lush parks, gorgeous waterways and fabulous cuisine.

Stunning Home in Adorable & Safe Neighborhood

We have stayed here before and keep coming back! Such a charming home and so well maintained. One of the best rentals we have ever enjoyed throughout the country. The welcoming, eclectic neighborhood has a wonderful vibe. Walking distance to fabulous restaurants and coffee shops. We leave the car at the house (great parking!) and Uber around New Orleans. Only 5-10 minutes to the French Quarter. Can't say enough about this home! Thank you!

A Must Stay in New Orleans

Great house, great location, great host. Couldn’t have been happier with this place. Host was very responsive and informative both before and during our stay. Only downside was the back yard wasn’t conducive to kids playing; just rocky.

The house was perfect for our stay! It was the perfect location for Jazz Fest and we were able to walk to and from the festival every day. The house was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of space for our group. Lori and Andrew were amazing hosts! They made sure we had everything we needed for our stay and were quick to respond to any messages or questions we had. We will definitely be back next year!

Absolutely Wonderful

Heartily recommend this location. The neighborhood is charming. The walk to the French Quarter on Esplanade is fabulous (ignore google's directions). The beds are super comfortable with nice pillows and linens. That little extra is incredibly appreciated. This location is close to city park, which is a very nice way to spend time enjoying the outdoors. Bike rental is easy and bikes are plentiful.

Ladies Birthday Trip

Our group traveled to New Orleans to celebrate two birthdays as one of the birthday girls had never been to New Orleans. This location was great as it was close to the airport, Canal Street, French Quarter, French Market and an area we were told about that in all my trips to New Orleans I had never heard about. If you like live music and a little more mature crowd visit Frenchmen Street. The house was homey and comfortable and had all the amenities we needed. The owners of the home were a pleasure to work with, very communicative and helpful in answering questions about the area. If you are visiting New Orleans I would recommend this home for your stay.

Cute and quiet street, very beautifully remodeled with everything you could need. I appreciated the quality of the interior, furnishings and decor. The beds were beautifully appointed and comfortable. Loved the modernness of the home while still being original. Great restaurants up Esplanade and a quick Uber to French Quarter. Also loved that there wasn’t a checklist of a bunch of requirement upon departure. The detailed instructions for checkin and using the features of the home were excellent. We loved staying here with our big teenage boys, each having their own bed plus the 2 bathrooms.
