General Information

Featuring hand-painted faux bois treatments in each room this beautifully restored Creole Bungalow is a live-in work of art, in the historic Faubourg Marigny just downriver from the French Quarter. Lush gardens surround the airy home. Walk the neighborhood to discover ornate Creole Cottages and some of the most popular local venues for Jazz, Latin, and contemporary music along the nearby Frenchmen Street music corridor. Utne Magazine called our neighborhood one the "hippest in America" with its art galleries, clubs, restaurants, and slightly bohemian vibe.
