2 Bedroom House in McDonough, New Orleans

Located in the heart of the Algiers Point Historical District, this 1889 classic follows the "shotgun" style layout, all the rooms in a line, with the kitchen and bath at the rear. There are two single beds in the first room, two queens in the second, and three singles in the third. If you need more beds, just ask! By city regulation I am limited to four adults, but there is no limit on children under twenty-one. I have yet to check anyone's I.D though.
Algiers Point, the "best kept secret" of New Orleans, is just across the river from the French Quarter. A ten minute stroll on the riverfront bike path (or use bikes- I've got three, and more are easily rented)) brings you to the oldest continually operating ferry in the U.S which makes the ten minute run every half hour. The river here is a half mile across, 260 feet deep and runs fast. Not to be missed! And you can see tall vessels sailing past from the porch!
There are two "OK" restaurants, one outstanding breakfast place, and three coffee shops within two or three blocks of your door.
There is lots of safe parking on the street just in front of your door for short or long term stays. The bathroom has lots of fresh towels, various toiletries, and an endless supply of hot water (at least I've never yet run out, even with twelve guests!) The kitchen is well stocked with all the regular breakfast items you expect: cold and hot cereal selections, eggs, breads, butter and other condiments, various fruits, yogurts, juices, milk, beer and wine, and soft drinks. There is a supermarket two miles off, and I am pleased to shop for any special diet items you might request. I have ducks in the back yard (kids love to feed them) which lets me offer you the freshest eggs you will ever have. The fencewd back yard is a safe place for your dog to frelax.The levee bike path is only a block away and goes for miles. I have three bikes and more can be rented easily enough. There is a new playground and park just a block away.
There is a swing on the front porch so you can sit and watch the herons in their nests high above in our immense, 200 year-old oaks, "Bearded in moss and in garments green, indistinct in the bayou's twilight", as Hawthorne wrote. There is wi-fi, of course, and a radio and TV with local stations and a large selection of DVDs. You will find this house quiet, comfortable, and just the way to get a real taste for the city. 420 friendly. Once more, though, I want to stress that this is sort of an "open dorm" configuration, and the only privacy is in the bathroom.

Summary: We will absolutely be returning! While the house isn’t located in the heart of the action (French Quarter), it’s conveniently close to the ferry for easy access.The host was incredibly kind, even accommodating our late checkout. The space offered plenty of sleeping areas, though not much privacy—which worked perfectly for us. Plus, the fridge was well-stocked with drinks and food, making our stay even more enjoyable. Looking forward to another quick getaway here!

Summary: We loved this place but it wouldn't be for everyone. It's quaint and quirky, in a charming neighborhood, close to the river and the ferry, which is a fantastic bargain, get the Jazzy Pass which also includes unlimited rides on the streetcars and buses across the river.It has a cute front porch with a hanging swing and little pillows which we utilized in the evenings on the very quiet street. Rarely did a car go by.The shotgun style house is just that, so you'll need to be good friends since you're all sleeping essentially in one area. You walk into a living room with beds, into a second living room with beds, into a third living room with beds, into the kitchen and then separate bathroom. Decor is NOLA vibe, definitely not minimalistic and oddly interesting. It's a historic building and that essentially means it's old. There are ducks in the back yard which can be loud but we thought they were pretty cool. The owner, who lives on the other side of the duplex house, is a sweet older guy that thinks of the rental as a B&B, and readily supplies all kinds of things in the fridge and cupboards, like eggs,waffles, juices, coffee, breads, cheese and not the cheap kinds either . We cooked fabulous breakfasts both mornings and enjoyed the adult libations he also left us. As the title says, I'd go back in a heartbeat and although the others with me were not quite as enthusiastic about the place as I, they'd go back too!

Summary: I loved the historical condition of the house. I visited with 5 other ladies for my 60th.I loved the fact that there were so many small eating places so close to where this is. Hidden Gems ...Barracuda Taco Stands fish Tacos were amazing as was the food and Service at the Dry Dock Cafe.

Summary: House felt like New Orleans. It was super cool and stocked with all kinds of goodies. There's a cheap ferry a short walk away that takes you across the river to the French quarter. Fantastic place to stay and will stay again next time I'm in New Orleans

Summary: Our second stay at this location. The house itself is not for everyone but we love it and will return. Communication with the owner is easy and so is the check in process. Very close to the ferry terminal and you’re in the quarter in just minutes. Overall a very good experience.
