*Please note that as of 4/24/2025, the city of New Orleans began roadwork on our block. As of 6/28/2025, our block is still drivable and our driveway is accessible for loading in/out. The city does not keep us well-informed of changes or progress; on most days there is zero or minimal activity, and NO activity on the weekends. As a result, our nightly rates are reduced due to the unsightly appearance of our street.

It's important to me to create a space that is inviting, comfortable, and convenient for my guests, at the same in keeping with the original architectural details of my 100 year old house, and drawing from inspiration the colorful palette and vintage decor from this inimitable 300 year old city.

Setting up the house for your convenience while traveling is NOT an afterthought for me--it's the focus of my hospitality and my careful consideration. Whether you're in New Orleans for pleasure, for work, or to visit family, my goal is to provide an experience that is effortless so that you can focus on time well spent here...

Key to a good night's sleep are our new, comfortable beds. In addition to our DirecTV subscription, two of the 3 TVs are smart TVs, so you can stream Netflix, Amazon, etc if you prefer. I also have a some games in the console in the living room: dominoes, playing cards, chess/checkers/backgammon set, and Cards Against Humanity. Our new Samsung washer and dryer are an appreciated feature for travelers. Detergent for the clothes washer is on hand for your convenience too.

And snacks, of course!

The bathrooms always feature plush towels, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lotions, shaving cream, sunblock, first aid kit, toilet paper, kleenex, Q-tips, and cotton balls. Detergent for the clothes washer is on hand for your convenience too.
