The carriage house sits behind the main house on a quiet, tree-lined street in the Audubon neighborhood, two blocks from St. Charles Avenue and a short walk from Audubon Park. It has been standing since the 1890s. The street looks the way Uptown New Orleans streets are supposed to look: wide sidewalks, live oak canopy, houses set back behind gardens that have been growing for longer than most people have been alive.
Condé Nast Traveler, Business Insider, and Time Out have each named the property among the best Airbnb rentals in New Orleans, which is the kind of attention that tends to follow a place that gets the details right.
The saltwater pool sits in a landscaped backyard framed by mature greenery and a brick patio, the kind of outdoor space that feels genuinely private rather than staged for photographs. Lounge chairs, shade, and enough quiet that the city seems farther away than it is.
Inside, the carriage house reads as a genuine conversion rather than a renovation that happened to keep a few old beams: the bones of the original structure are visible throughout, and the proportions carry the easy, high-ceilinged generosity of 19th-century construction.
The location earns its own attention. Magazine Street runs close enough to walk for coffee, dinner, or an afternoon browsing the independent shops that have defined the strip for decades. Tipitina’s, one of the great music venues in a city that does not lack for them, is nearby.
Petite Grocery, Shaya, and Boulangerie are all within reach on foot. Tulane and Loyola sit a short distance up the avenue, and the St. Charles streetcar stop is two blocks away, connecting the neighborhood to the rest of the city without needing a car.
