Riverbend Gem in Historic Carrollton Uptown

Spacious apartment features fresh, modern appointments w/ original vintage details in our Craftsman-era home. This is a full-time, dedicated vacation rental. Located in the heart of a quiet, tree-lined residential neighborhood, while conveniently close to the action. 4 blocks to St. Charles/Carrollton streetcar and walking distance to all the amazing restaurants, music clubs, & shopping that St Charles Ave, Oak St, Maple St and Carrollton Ave have to offer! Near Tulane U, Loyola U, Audubon Park and the Freret St corridor.

We only accept bookings from guests who have an excellent review history and are Owner Recommended. Due to previous experience, we are not accepting reservations from guests who have no review history. Please include in your booking request an introduction including the nature of your trip, and with whom you will be traveling.

Please note that there is roadwork occurring one block over. This should not affect the quality of your stay. The city does not keep us well-informed of any changes or progress.

It's important to me to create a space that is inviting, comfortable, and convenient for my guests, at the same in keeping with the original architectural details of my 100 year old house, and drawing from inspiration the colorful palette and vintage decor from this inimitable 300 year old city.

Setting up the house for your convenience while traveling is NOT an afterthought for me--it's the focus of my hospitality and my careful consideration. Whether you're in New Orleans for pleasure, for work, or to visit family, my goal is to provide an experience that is effortless so that you can focus on time well spent here...

Key to a good night's sleep are our new, comfortable beds. In addition to our DirecTV subscription, two of the 3 TVs are smart TVs, so you can stream Netflix, Amazon, etc if you prefer. I also have a some games in the console in the living room: dominoes, playing cards, chess/checkers/backgammon set, and Cards Against Humanity. Our new Samsung washer and dryer are an appreciated feature for travelers. Detergent for the clothes washer is on hand for your convenience too.

The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, cooking utensils, knives, and many basics that you'd need to prepare a meal. In addition to the new dishwasher, toaster oven, microwave, and coffee pot, we also supply a crock pot and a blender. The kitchen pantry regularly features items like coffee, coffee filters, tea bags, sugar honey, Splenda, olive oil, salt, pepper, spices, paper towels and plates, plastic reusable Mardi Gras cups, ziploc bags, trash bags, dishwasher pods and dish soap. And snacks, of course!

The bathrooms always feature plush towels, soaps, shampoo, conditioner, lotions, shaving cream, sunblock, first aid kit, toilet paper, kleenex, Q-tips, and cotton balls. Detergent for the clothes washer is on hand for your convenience too.

>>Now featuring a Level 2 / 240v charging outlet on site for our guests' electric vehicles! (see photo) Free of charge for guests. Bring your own 220v cord with NEMA plug. Level 1 / 120v standard outlet is also available and easily accessible. Please inquire with me to arrange.

Please note that due to COVID-19, all DECORATIVE pillows in the photos have been removed from this property because they cannot be sanitized. Both the dishwasher and the washer (laundry) feature "sanitizer" cycles. Please contact me if you have any specific concerns...

This was one of the best vrbos I've stayed in with attention to things like lamps on night tables so you can read in bed, power bars so there are enough places to plug in phones and computers, pots and pans so we could actually cook.

Multiple stays at this property

This home has plenty of room and a great location. Host is always available and very friendly. The home is stocked with just about anything you would need. She even went out of her way to drive a pair of earrings I left behind to my daughter in law. We love staying here when we come to visit our granddaughter.

Granddaughter’s First Birthday

The host Wendy was wonderful and easy to communicate with. Her home has everything you could possibly need. She even had breakfast food already in fridge. The bathrooms were also well stocked. Great location, we walked everywhere and it was close to the street car for downtown travel. Neighborhood was nice, safe and quiet. We have family here and will definitely stay here again.

awesome home!

This is the best VRBO I have ever stayed in! The place was very clean and comfortable, and had every amenity one could want from the basics of soap/shampoo/conditioner to extra papertowel, toilet paper, sun screen to coffee, coffee filters, etc etc. The location is great - walking distance to coffee shops and Tulane-LSU. I would definitely stay here again. Wendy was also readily available and helpful.

Convenient, clean, safe, and easy

This is a very comfortable 3br/2ba with a nice kitchen, dining room, and living room. It is very convenient in the Carrollton area near a bunch of restaurants and Uptown. The hosts/owners are very responsive and nice. They provided breakfast (eggs and biscuits in the fridge) and milk for your coffee and a few other nice, thoughtful touches. 5/5 will stay again.

Great stay in a good location

We chose this property due to its proximity to Tulane/Loyola and could not have chosen better. The house is exactly as pictured and pristinely clean. Our host was very welcoming and made everything easy--even supplying snacks and breakfast items! The neighborhood is residential and quiet, but close enough to grocery stores and restaurants that it was very convenient. And less than a 10 minute drive to Loyola, which was perfect for us. We'll be back!
