This adorable, historic duplex bungalow was perfectly comfortable and charming for my sister and me during our first visit to New Orleans. Bedrooms were clean and quiet, and the beds were extremely comfortable! Be warned, if you share the master bedroom, the master bath, with the only bathtub, has essentially no privacy due to the large window in the door. The other bathroom in the hallway is tiny with a single, very small shower stall but otherwise nicely appointed with fun quirky details. Both baths have great shower power!
The open kitchen is updated with original exposed brick, hardwoods and a modern gas stove. I may have missed it, but I don't believe there is a microwave, however the toaster oven came in handy. If you want to heat water for tea, you'll need to use a sauce pan. The living room, right next to the kitchen space, sports a comfortable feather sofa and old turntable that may be more for show. The Roku TV screen is inviting but the remote didn’t function for us. We found the street quiet, low-key, and a bit in recovery from Ida, understandably.
Perhaps the best quality of this quiet, cozy home is its proximity to Magazine Street — only about 5 blocks over rough road. There you’ll find coffee, retail shops, bars, cafes, antique stores, and even a Walgreen’s. It’s only a couple miles from there to the business district and French Quarter.
