The space This 100+ year old traditional double shotgun house is completely renovated with restored pine floors, exposed brick fireplaces, new kitchen, updated bathroom and back courtyard and deck. Clean, cool and close to everything! Located in the historic New Marigny neighborhood of the 7th Ward and five blocks away from the corner of the French Quarter, one block outside of the Marigny Triangle, less than one block to the streetcar stop and eight blocks to the heart of the Frenchmen Street music district, you'll love the convenience of this location. You'll have complete and private access to this traditional shotgun style duplex (long private apartment with high ceilings, but no hallways, so each room opens directly to the next). I live next door in the other side of this duplex, so you have complete privacy, but I'm around in case you need something. There's a courtyard with deck and patio at the back of the house. It's a nice place to hang out in the morning for coffee or in the evening before going out. This apartment has a queen bed, full size bed and queen sleeper sofa. The apartment has central air conditioning and heat, WiFi, a washer/dryer, dishwasher and an ice maker. I have a small, friendly dog that lives with me next door, so you might see him out in the back courtyard trying to get you to throw a ball for him. I'm a swing dance instructor and I love Jazz music and food, so if you want to know where to go for free swing dance lessons, to listen to amazing live music, for the best jambalaya, the best tapas or where to go just to hang out and relax with a glass of wine, just ask. I love this city and I love to show people around! Also, a couple of guests have complained that the neighborhood seems a bit "sketchy," but I've never had any problems and my guests have never had any problems with crime. Just be aware, it's not a pretty tree lined street. It's a New Orleans neighborhood that hasn't fully recovered from hurricane Katrina and is still being rebuilt, but I feel safe here and I'm close enough to walk to most everything I like. The whole apartment is a total of four rooms (including kitchen) plus one bathroom. There is also a small deck and courtyard in the back where you can make a fire in the fire pit, have a smoke or just hang out with a cold drink. This is a shotgun style house, so there is less privacy than a normal house since there is no hallway. Each room opens into the next. I live in the unit next door, so I'm around everyday. I try to always meet my guests and help them figure out how to get around the city if they want advice on where to go, what to do and how to get there. Other things to note I've never had a problem with crime since I moved into my house in 2014 and I haven't had any guests complain about crime, but I am on the edge (the nicer edge) of a sketchy neighborhood, so walking to Frenchmen street or the French Quarter is never a problem, but walking the other direction into the neighborhood isn't recommended, though honestly, there isn't any reason to, either. And in general, you should walk around New Orleans in groups and never wander around by yourself when you're drunk (though I'm guilty of doing this a few times myself and haven't had a problem).
