Be sure to see our 400+ 5 Star Reviews! The Rampart house sleeps 6 guest very comfortably and offers a truly New Orleans style living experience.
We are in a historic classic New Orleans neighbord, the Faubourg Marigny. Some house date back to creole days in the early 1800s. Our house was built in the early 1900s, likely around 1915. It was orignally a shotgun double (meaning you could fire a gun from the front door through the house directly out the back). It was designed for "two families." In 2008, after Hurricane Katrina we rennovated the house and changed to a single family home, combining the two sides of the house into one more modern floorplan and maximizing the space for today's living. In the 1940s a "camelback" or second floor was added. It is a studio apartment now and is accessed through the side alleyway and back courtyard. It is NOT part of this rental. This listing is just for the main floor.
Public transportation is just a 3 minute walk and just 1 block away. The streetcar originates and terminates on the corner 1 block from the property. BEST of all, there is a full-service grocery store across the street just steps away. ROBERT'S FRESH MARKET. It has everything you need. We are surrounded by local pubs and neighborhood fine dining eateries. We will provide you with that list at time of booking with us.
This is our personal home, we do live there when we do not have guest. We enjoy sharing our home with our guests. We just ask that you treat it like it was yours! Due tot the new Short Term Rental Laws in New Orleans, our house can only have a maximum of 6 people. We can't host parties, events, gatherings or additional overnight guests beyond the 6 max occupancy. We must enforce this or we will lose our license. No smoking or drugs are prohibited! We just ask to keep all gates and doors closed, locked and secured at all times. For your safety, as well as our homes saftey! We do live in a great well lit, friendly neighborhood.
