Conveniently located in gorgeous Bayou St. John, 1.5 miles from the French Quarter, this 3BR / 2BA shotgun house is across the street from a soccer field & park and steps from famous Parkway Po’Boys. Walk or bike a mile along the bayou to City Park or on the Laffite Greenway to the French Quarter. Walking distance to Jazz Fest!
Guests will arrive and have access to coffee, sugar and creamer. There are two main bedrooms and a small independent third bedroom with a full bed. Two full bathrooms with shower/baths. The house has original wood floors and plenty of charm. You can watch (or join) people playing bocci ball, softball, and soccer in the park across the street. Guests will also have access to the grassy backyard equipped with a picnic table and string lights. Porch and yard are shared with the owners. As the owner and his family live on the other side, please be keep the noise down after 10pm. No parties please :)
There is keyless entry with a code, so check in is super easy. I will be able to help with suggestions and any issues that should arise. I live on the other side of the double house but I'm usually traveling or out and about. When around, I am always happy to share a drink and/or conversation on the front porch or backyard.
It is four blocks from the Canal street Streetcar line/Endymion Mardi Gras Parade (the biggest one). Getting to the French Quarter on the streetcar, uber, or bike takes less than 10 minutes. Mid City and Bayou Saint John are so full of fun things to do, you may never want to leave! There are plenty of bars, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance of the house. But if you do want to explore, we are in the center of the city -- between City Park, the French Quarter and Uptown. It's easy to get anywhere from here! Whether you're in town for tourist attractions or festivals, or if you're out to explore the whole city, from the heart of Mid-City you can be there in no time at all.
The biggest Mardi Gras parade is less than a half mile away, so the neighborhood will be jumping along with Carnival. The Canal Street streetcar is 4 blocks away. It will take you to the Mississippi River, the French Quarter and the Convention Center. The amazing City Park is a 10 minute walk along the beautiful Bayou Saint John. At City Park you've got the sculpture garden, botanical gardens, and Museum of Art.
