The Neighborhood:
Situated on the edge of the Bywater, our little neighborhood is between the canal, St. Claude Ave, Poland Ave, and North Claiborne Ave. Lowpoint (coffee shop) is the anchor of the neighborhood and the other side of St. Claude Ave (two blocks away) is the heart of the Bywater. The Bywater is a historic neighborhood with colorful homes and lots of great bars and restaurants (Bacchanal, Parleaux, Vaughns, Bj's, etc.) - we recommend checking it out! If the weather is nice and you have comfortable shoes, walking from the Bywater --> Marigny --> French Quarter (stopping at bars and restaurants along the way!) is a great way to spend a day.
Getting Around:
+2 minute walk to Lowpoint, a great little neighborhood coffee shop.
+2 minute drive or 10 minute walk to some of our favorite bars in the Bywater, including Bacchanal, Parleaux Beer Lab, Vaughns, and BJ's Lounge.
+7 minute drive to Frenchman Street.
+10 minute drive to the French Quarter and Bourbon Street.
+12 minute drive to the Superdome.
+15 minute drive to the Earnest Memorial Convention Center.

Avis pour The Florentine | Private 12BR Hotel - Pool, Spa
12 out of 10 would recommend. We had a group of 24 people stay at the house and every guest kept mentioning how much space they had. The amenities are amazing (hot top, pool, insanely nice kitchen) and the house had a lot of New Orleans charm. Their customer service is extremely responsive and helpful to make the stay as perfect as possible as well. Thanks for sharing your home with us!!
The facility was well cleaned when we arrived, and the parking works out great for multiple vehicles. The management was very responsive when the lift chair was stuck over the hot tub with a dead battery, so they removed it so we had full use of the hot tub perimeter. We really enjoyed the hot tub!The space does not have much sound proofing, and most all bedrooms can hear the conversations and kitchen noises at all times. Some curtains or acoustic fabric on the glass walls and ceilings would help.The dining room had adequate seating for our group of nearly 30, which we greatly appreciated. But the kitchen is not well stocked for cooking; no sugar, no dish towels, only one set of bowls, kitchen sink VERY slow to drain, so keep this in mind if you plan on cooking much.Several of the showers did not get adequate hot water, especially on the 2nd floor, and even our shower on the 1st floor had to run for a full 8-10 minutes before the water got hot. Don't know if this was related to cooler winter weather(never below freezing while we were there), but it did mean that certain bathrooms were not useful for showering.The location is great for walking to the Bywater and Marigny, and easy ride share to French Quarter.
We had a joint bachelor bachelorette trip with a group of 20 and this place was perfect. All the rooms were clean, the outside area was great for a group dinner and we felt safe the entire time. The host was very responsive when I had questions. I highly recommend this place!!!
A group of 25 of us stayed in this home to celebrate a 50th birthday, and we absolutely loved it! The house was spotless, spacious, and had everything we needed to comfortably accommodate a large group. Having 2 washers and dryers, 2 dishwashers, and plenty of dishes made things so convenient. The host was extremely responsive, and the property felt very secure with gated access, key codes, and added security measures. If youâre looking for the perfect place for a large group gathering, this is it!
Home was incredibly safe, clean, and spacious enough for our group of 22 people. The pool was a highlight, especially for the little onesâthey had such a blast!Everything from the comfy beds to the convenient location made our trip even better. Plus, your communication and kindness throughout the process really made a difference. We truly appreciated it
There was plenty of room for everyone and they had plenty of TV's. The pool was excellent and clean. There was security and we felt very comfortable. I would recommend to anyone going to NOLA.
Had a wonderful experience at CastleDay. Hosts were communicative and friendly. The home was fantastic and served our needs well. The outdoor pool area was amazing. We will be returning in the future for sure.
Easy host to work with. Super accommodating. The house is flat out awesome. Big group and everyone had space, a bed/bathroom, and there was everything we needed. Then you have the pool, court, indoor/outdoor TV spaces, and kitchen. Would do it again 10/10 times.
Let me start by saying we had an awesome trip/experience. The property is a wonderful place. It has all that you could ask for, especially for a large group. We had 14 in our geoup and there was plenty of space! The pool and hot tub were amazing. We would stay here on any trip. The host was very responsive and helpful whenever we needed an answer to something. 100% a great place to stay.
