About this property
The Okra Inn Iberville-6BR, 3.5BA, Streetcar In Sight
The Okra Inn Iberville puts you in the heart of one of New Orleans' most walkable neighborhoods. Step off the front porch and you're within a block of some of our favorite restaurants, bars, and bakeries, including Angelo Brocato's gelateria, Revel, Venezia, Porgy's Seafood Market, and Michelin-starred Zasu.
The Canal Street streetcar is also right across the street, making it easy to reach the French Quarter, downtown, and other parts of the city without a car anytime day or night. Between the neighborhood's restaurants, local character, and convenient streetcar access, you'll have plenty to explore right outside your door.
THE SPACE
The Okra Inn Iberville is a classic New Orleans double: a historic camelback duplex with two completely separate three-bedroom homes, rented together as one spacious six-bedroom property. It's an especially great setup for families and groups traveling together who appreciate having room to spread out while staying under one roof.
Each side has its own living room, dining room, fully equipped kitchen, and three bedrooms. The two sides are connected by a shared front porch, back balcony, and back patio, but have separate entrances. Guests move between the two sides outdoors rather than through an interior connecting door.
The property features 11 foot ceilings throughout, original pocket doors, beautiful crown molding, and our own blend of artsy charm. The decor is a cozy, funky version of classic New Orleans, with kitsch alongside original art, elegance alongside a feeling of homey comfort.
We strive to be pet-friendly, though we ask that you inquire before booking if you are planning to bring pets.
The combined sides of the duplex include: * Two fully equipped kitchens * Two dishwashers! * Four bathrooms (three full and one half). * Six bedrooms plus an additional futon sleeping area. * 2 living rooms * 2 dining rooms * Closets in all of the bedrooms * Ceiling fans * Mesh Wireless Internet * Central AC * Two televisions each with a Roku * The kitchens are equipped with dishes, silverware, pots, pans, glassware and other kitchen and cooking basics * 2 coffee makers (drip) * 2 refrigerators, 2 ovens/stoves, 2 dishwashers * 2 microwaves and toasters * 1 blender

We loved our stay at the Okra Inn! Plenty of space for our whole party and located right in the heart of New Orleans. I would definitely stay here again
Property was perfect for our 6 adult friends for the weekend. Very close to great restaurants and grocery store. Trolley or Uber to all the action in minutes and then relax in this quiet historic home to sleep and relax during the morning. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a group or large family getaway!!!
The property is actually a duplex that's connected in the middle so you have two of everything. My friends and I came from all over to spend a nice weekend in New Orleans and this proved perfect for us. The place is a bit rustic - as shown in the pictures- but it has everything you need. As I mentioned in the title, we particularly like the location. Lots of good restaurants in the area and an easy trolley ride down to the French quarter.
Enjoyed a weekend getaway with a few friends. We had plenty of room in the house. It was a close walk to the trolly and in walking distance to a Walgreens if we needed items. We will definitely be staying here again!
Great central location near public transportation or easy to drive around. Wonderful, helpful hosts. Charming accommodations with everything a large group could want (kitchen and a place to hang out!)
Lovely space, clean, comfortable and had everything we need. Close to our family in MidCity, great bars and cafes within walking distance and easy drive or Uber to anything else. Excellent and easy communication with the host. Will book again!
My friends and I had a wonderful time in the home! It was beautifully decorated with festive New Orleans decor and the multiple bathrooms were a major plus
This property is wonderful especially for a big group. So comfortable and convenient! Space for everyone to spread out and enjoy. Louisiana decor and southern comfort was excellent!
We housed a total of 22 family members between the 2 properties we rented. The Mid-City location was close to everything. The properties had all the charm of the old shotgun style houses typical of New Orleans.

Great big house in a lovely neighborhood.
We brought a big family reunion into Mid-City and The Okra Inn served us so well as a home. It had all the amenities we could want and was smack in the center of a vibrant and lovely neighborhood. Plus extremely convenient to bus/streetcar to access Uptown/Garden District/Quarter/Bywater. Hosts are the sweetest. So pleased. Would absolutely book again.
The set up was just what we needed. Great location as well. Lots of restaurants to walk to. Unfortunate for us the city decided to tear up the sidewalk in front of the house and along the street. Not the fault of the owners as they have no prior warning when they will work. We made it work but it caused an inconvenience that couldn’t be helped.
Lindsey’s property was perfect for our large group. With 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths it was a perfect accommodation for all of us. Beds are really comfortable and bathrooms are clean. We rented the whole house and enjoyed having access to all the space her house provided. Great location being so close to restaurants and bars and a Walgreens is a stone throw away if you need anything. Lindsey was a great host and a was willing to accommodate our check in and check out times and checked in to see if we needed anything. She also had some really wonderful suggestions on dinner and what to do in the area. Definitely check out Katie’s just 4 blocks down, best charbroiled oysters. The noise level was mild with it being closer to some bars but only if the patrons were being extremely rowdy, you couldn’t hear the noise in the rooms at the back of the house.
The street car is very close and easy to use, Lindsey gave us great advice to download the app which made buying tickets easier. It’s not a very long ride and does have AC. I would definitely come back k and suggest this property to any large groups visiting NOLA!
The property was exactly as described by the owner and the commenters. It is situated in the best location to see all of your favorite sights without the hustle and bustle of the touristy areas (Bourbon Street). We were able to walk to great restaurants in the area and the local bar The Red Door which stays open just about all night. Hands down it was the best time I've had in NOLA in a long time.
House was perfect for a large group looking to spend most of the days out and about. Short Uber ride to Uptown, French Quarter, I would definitely recommend staying in Midcity at the Okra Inn. Lindsay had some good recommendations and was accommodating in her responses. Would definitely recommend.
