About this property

Magazine Street Retreat

A wonderful boutique space in an 1850's townhouse nicely located in the Lower Garden District right on famous Magazine Street and close to everything. Comprising the original library and servant's quarters of the main house, lots of historic architectural features including high ceilings, floor to ceiling bedroom windows, exposed brick, old decorative fireplaces, hardwood floors and a private gallery overlooking a courtyard. Just between the bedroom and the living room is a wonderfully tucked away couchette which kids absolutely love.

The apartment is furnished with a wonderful mix of modern pieces and French antiques. A selection of coffee and tea are complimentary during your stay. We are the closest Historic Residential Neighborhood to the French Quarter and Convention Center and a short walk to the Streetcar, the Warehouse District and tons of restaurants and shops.

Your on site host is always available to meet with you to share favorite foodie recommendations or suggestions for interesting and off the beaten path things to do in our city.

* Please note that we have a 7 night minimum over each weekend of Jazz Fest Wed-Wed

This was such a great place to stay! Excellent location with many wonderful restaurants and a park within walking distance. The host, Jules, was very responsive and shared lots of great restaurants to check out during our visit. The stairs going up to the unit are very steep, but the unit was lovely and had a nice balcony and bistro set to get a bit of fresh air while sipping your morning coffee!

This is our second stay at this lovely Garden District property. The location is perfect- close to the FQ, Warehouse District, Uptown, University area, and even Metairie. Plenty of parking available. Super cute and comfortable. The 2nd bed area was very charming and cozy. Loved opening the doors to the balcony. I am a NOLA native who has moved away and I absolutely recommend the Magazine Street Retreat.

Beautiful apartment, great location

Loved this cozy apartment in walking distance to a lot of cute shops and restaurants. Owners were so gracious and would def stay again. There are lots of steps, so make sure your party is mobile. The bedroom is at the entrance of the hallway so you may hear some hall noise and the hall lights do come through, but I just switched them off when we went to sleep. Overall, a great place.
