Historic Mid-City Escape, Perfect Festival Getaway

Summary:
You'll love staying in this beautiful home in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans! Live like a local as you enjoy:
- A home originally built in 1910, but newly renovated while keeping many of the original materials.
- Delicious local NOLA restaurants and bars that are within walking distance
- Easy access to the historic French Quarter - The street car, bike rentals, and the Lafitte Greenway are all within 2 blocks of the home
- Easy access to beautiful City Park

The Space:
The home is nice and open with plenty of space to relax. The home includes central heating and A/C, a washer and dryer within the home, super high speed fiber optic internet service, high pressure shower, ceiling fans in both of the bedrooms and living room to keep cool, and much more. The living room and kitchen are nice open spaces with plenty of seating and space to relax and eat. Both of the bedrooms have brand new carpet floors and closets to keep everything cozy and organized.

The home was originally built around 1910 and recently renovated, but we maintained many of the historical elements of the home including: Trim work, the original wood floors (refinished), and the original doors and windows maintaining it's New Orleans feel. Also, the front porch has plenty of sun light and is a great place to relax and have a drink.

This location is a tri-plex with three total homes on the location: this home is the two bedroom unit on the right side facing the front yard. It's a beautiful home and in an amazing location.

Guest Access:
Guest will have access to the home through a smart lock on the front door. To ensure safety, each guest is assigned their own four digit code which activates at their scheduled check-in, and deactivates after their check-out. The front porch is shared with the home next door, but they will have their own space with a table and chairs to be able to enjoy the nice weather.

Parking is super convenient, the street directly in front of the house is very well lit and has free parking on both sides, as do all of the surrounding streets. Aside from big events like Mardi Gras day you won't have a problem finding a spot very close to the home.

The Neighborhood:
This location is AMAZING. Within just a few blocks you have: two giant grocery stores, CVS, some of the most popular bars and restaurants in the city, the Lafitte Greenway which is a bike path that goes directly into the French Quarter, City Park, multiple gyms and fitness centers, the famous Street Car, and bike rentals. You literally never have to drive or Uber/Lyft anywhere if you don't want.

And for big events and festivals, it doesn't get much better. This location is only one block away from the biggest Mardi Gras parade route (Endymion), just a few blocks from City Park which throws a ton of festivals throughout the year including Voodoo Fest, and less than a mile from the Fairgrounds which is home to Jazz Fest and other large events.

Our street is closed at both ends, so the only people that go through are other locals and guests who live on the street making it one of the safest and quietest streets in Mid-City.

Getting Around:
Street parking is free and easy. There are plenty of spots immediately in front of the home and on all of the nearby streets, you won't have any issues finding a nearby spot.

Walking and biking is extremely easy and convenient. With dozens of bars and restaurants within just a few blocks you'll never have to drive anywhere. The beautiful City Park just a 5 minute walk away, and the Lafitte Greenway (a bike path going directly into the French Quarter) just one block away you can get anywhere in no time.

There is also a New Orleans Blue Bike station about 2 blocks away, allowing you to rent electric-assist bikes at $0.15 / minute to get wherever you'd like to go. Uber and Lyft are also very easy and convenient from our location. It's about a 15-20 minute bike ride to get into the French Quarter, a 45 minute walk, or about a 10 minute drive.

Other Things to Note:
MARDI GRAS: The home is one block away from the parade route of the biggest Mardi Gras Parade in the city - Endymion. This is one of the most convenient homes you'll ever find to be able to experience the thrill of Mardi Gras like a true local without having to worry about getting around town or finding a bathroom (a common issue people have when they have to travel to get to the parade route).

JAZZ FEST: The home is about a mile away from Jazz Festival, making getting to and from the concerts extremely easy. Door to door it's about a 25 minute walk to get to the festival, or about a 7-8 minute bike ride if you want to grab one of the pay per minute blue bikes (blue bike station is located about 2 blocks from the house). If you decide to walk there are plenty of good bars and restaurants along the way so you can enjoy a drink while you stroll to the festivities. It's just far enough away from the festival to be able to enjoy peace and quiet while at home, but close enough to be able to avoid driving and the insane traffic without having to miss any of the music.
