About this property

LGBTQ Owned! 12 Minutes from the French Quarter! But in a SAFE, quiet area.

Welcome to this HUGE bright, sunny apartment! It's 2nd floor, in a neighborhood of one story houses, so you can see the sunrise from the bedrooms (don't worry! the rooms have blackout curtains so you can sleep in) and the sunset from the Living Room! The apartment has everything you need. This property is LGBTQ owned and welcoming to all. I offer discounts for week- or month-long stays. Message if you need early check-in or late check-out. Repeat guests will get a free extra day! Message for details.

There is NO SMOKING anywhere on the property.

The kitchen is stocked with dishes, flatware, and drinkware for 6. Plenty of cookware and utensils. You'll find a bottle of bubbly in the fridge to welcome you, as well as a gallon of water! Full size fridge, stove/oven, and microwave as well as a toaster, blender and coffee maker (there's coffee and filters, cream & sugar too!). There's a teakettle and assortment of teas. Uber Eats and Grub Hub deliver here.

There's a dining set just outside the kitchen door in the Living Room.

The day bed in the Living Room has a pop-up trundle. When opened up it's a King. There's also a TV there, with a few streaming channels pre-programmed- Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, and DISNEY+! Lots of board games and cards on the shelf for the occasional rainy day. I have a little library downstairs if you need a book!

Bedroom One has it's bathroom in the hall, with a shower/tub combo. TONS of towels. We also provide basics like shampoo, bodywash, even toothbrushes and toothpaste! The lamps in bedroom One have outlets for phone chargers.

Bedroom Two has the bath inside the room. Oddly, the sink is outside the bathroom (where shower and toilet are) in the bedroom window. There's an extendable mirror there! I added it as a shaving mirror, but I'm informed the magnifying side is GREAT for makeup.

There's a big yard, which you are welcome to use. There's off street parking for two cars available.

The neighborhood is quiet and safe, in Arabi- just outside Nola proper. Only MINUTES from all Nola has to offer, but SO much safer! There's a Police Station one block over.

There's entertainment everywhere! Great restaurants and clubs within easy distance- there's a live music venue, Pirogue's Whisky Bayou, just down the street! The restaurant inside is called Oscar. The chef, Melissa Araujo, is up for the James Beard BEST CHEF IN THE SOUTH award! She also has a restaurant called Alma a few minutes away in the Bywater. Just a bit further down is the Old Arabi Bar, which also has live music. Also in the Bywater is my other FAVORITE restaurant, Elizabeth's- a true taste of Nawlins! There's so much to do, there are lists, maps, and pamphlets for you in the unit. There's offstreet parking for 2 cars, and tons of street parking. No worries! The neighborhood is super safe and welcoming. I can also answer questions about food and activities.

Dogs, kids, even events MAY be allowed, on a case by case basis. Message to chat about it.

A great place to chill after Jazz Fest.

Our host, Phil, could've be more accommodating. This was a 2 bedroom apartment and had plenty of space for 4 adults. There was a daybed in the living room we never used. The apartment was immaculate and artfully decorated. The kitchen was stocked with cooking items but we are out every night. Phil accommodated us with bubbly, toothbrushes, shampoo, body wash, coffee, and the paper goods. It was really appreciated until we got our sea legs. The area of Arabi was great. It was extremely safe in a residential neighborhood with parking available on site. Every restaurant we ate it, we all loved. If you like seafood, don't pass up the oysters at the Fiery Crab. It looks like a fast food place but don't let that deceive you. The crab rangoon was the best ever. The Kitchen had a fab steak and a jazz band for outside seating. Arabi is about 15 minutes outside of the French Quarter. It is an easy drive and we spent $31 for an Uber to the airport 25 minutes away. I would think an Uber would be less to the Qtr. Phil left us a list of local restaurants in Arabi and surrounding areas. I would def stay here again.

Completely AMAZING

We had a wonderful time this property was clean and Philip provided closest bars and restaurants. We had a blast! The beds were so comfortable rooms were spacious and well stocked! The apartment was less than 15-20 mins from all of our destinations. Philip made sure we were comfortable the whole trip we definitely will be back and booking again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Philip Tucker

Host profile image
I'm originally from Martha's Vineyard, MA. I love the LIFE everywhere here! Music, amazing food, friendly people- it's all here. There are parades all the time, and not just in New Orleans- we have quite a few here in Arabi, as well as Chalmette, just down the road. I love meeting people, and will do my best to make sure you visit again!

Why they chose this property

I love New Orleans, but it's not known for being safe. I'm in Arabi, which was originally a neighborhood in New Orleans, but split off years ago...now it's SO SAFE! Here, there's access to ALL NOLA has to offer, but in a safe, quiet neighborhood. You can be at the French Market in minutes! There's a great place for hiking just down the street, too.

What makes this property unique

The apartment is upstairs, with sunrise views from the back and sunset views from the front! There's a great neighborhood bar walkable from here, Pirogues Whisky Bayou- with live music weekends. The chef for the restaurant in it, called Oscar, is up for the James Beard award for Best Chef South 2024!! Her name is Melissa Araujo, and her main restaurant is Alma Cafe in the Bywater, just a few minutes drive. Try both while you're here!
