Architecturally, this unique home (dare we say it) resembles the angular shape of a Tetris block. Modern and distinct considering its location in the historic area of New Orleans, admire this spot's juxtaposing position, just half a block away from the famous St Charles Street and a short five-minute drive away from the city's historic French Quarter. Inside the house, high-quality contemporary furnishings dress the space with class and style in a bright and airy ambience. An open-plan main living area ensures a sociable stay where some members of the group can be cooking up local Creole delights, while others sink into the plush sofas as they choose the evening's playlist. With ample space in the bedrooms and bathrooms, enjoy a comfortable stay that guarantees respite between soaking up all that the lively city of New Orleans has to offer. Don't miss the jazz clubs, eateries, bistros and bars of the French Quarter, or why not check out Magazine Street – just an eight-minute drive away – it boasts some of the city's best dining experiences, music venues and happening nightlife in the city.

New Orleans is one lively city – whether we’re talking food, candy-coloured architecture or nightlife, there’s nowhere else in the United States – or even the world – quite like this Louisianan cultural mecca. You’ll find indigenous cuisine here that hybridizes Caribbean, African and European influences – so embrace your inner hedonist and dive head first into Gumbo, beignets and po’ boys. It’s a city where jazz is as prevalent...
