Perks for the Parents

This historic 2-bedroom home close to Coliseum Square Park and Magazine Street sleeps up to 5 + 1 and includes babycare items to make a stay in the city easy. It is spacious enough for a small family to enjoy, with a fully equipped kitchen with dine-in table and a full size dining table in front parlor. The master bedroom and ensuite are at the back of the house and open to the patio. There is also a next door 1-bedroom apartment, ideal if you are traveling with a nanny or caretaker - please inquire with the host for pricing and full details.

Why Kids Love it

This home suits children of all ages. There is ample living and family space as well as outdoor space. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare family meals and the kids bedroom is private with a blackout window shade. Being just outside the French Quarter is a boon for families - it’s nice and calm and not too busy with tourist traffic, yet close to great attractions. Coliseum Square Park is a 3-block walk away and the shops, restaurants, and cafes of Magazine St are 1 block away. On request, the hosts can offer a high chair, pack’n’play, rock'n'play, baby toys, books, baby bath, and stroller.

Things to Know

Minimum stay: 3 days. There are 4 steps up to the front porch but otherwise everything is on 1 main level. Independent check-in is provided through use of a key coded lock box so you don't have to worry about coordinating arrival times. If you bring or rent a car, there is plentiful, free street parking directly in front of the house (a bonus in New Orleans). The owners live next door and have plenty of kid-gear if you should forget something. They also have 2 bikes, 1 with a child seat, that may be available on request. Car rental not essential but can be useful; taking cabs/Uber is a convenient option as well.

About the Location

The residence is in the Lower Garden District, between the Garden District/Magazine Street corridor and the Warehouse District. There are many child-friendly restaurants and young families in this residential neighborhood. For first timers to New Orleans, it is a great location a bit out of the tourist hubbub of the French Quarter but still very central to the sites and attractions. It is 0.6 miles to the streetcar line which runs to Canal Street and the French Quarter. Great museums such as the World War II, the Ogden Museum of Southern Art, and the Contemporary Arts Center are all within a few blocks. The airport is around 20 minutes’ drive away.

Accommodation Details

This authentic New Orleans shotgun is like a single family home. It has 2 parlors and a large kitchen in the front and 2 spacious private bedrooms and bathrooms in the back. Both bedrooms have queensize beds; there is a single sofa bed in the lounge. The kitchen is eat-in and there is also a separate dining area. The rear patio offers a private courtyard feel.

Style Notes

Colorful and cultural. This historic house was recently renovated with all the modern conveniences, and is designed and decorated with an eclectic blend of antiques, modern furnishings, and art to reflect the colorful culture of New Orleans. We love the blue shutters, the stoop and the authentic touches throughout.

Urban couple with country roots. We travel for work and pleasure and enjoy staying in historic or architecturally inspiring spaces. We're sharing our Chicago and New Orleans homes while we work on our next restoration and design projects! Our homes always have a signature mix of old and new, layered to create a cozy feel that invites quality moments with friends and family. We have two young children. Travel with kids may be different, but we believe it should still be inspiring. In our homes, you'll find thoughtful details and amenities that add to your comfort and our list of recommendations so you can experience our cities like a local.

Absolutely loved it! Rosa was super helpful with recommendations, and the house was adorable. Great location for public transportation, restaurants and easy on-street parking. I would highly recommend.

Beautiful home. Would absolutely stay here again. Rosa and her family are right next door. They are kind, welcoming and her kids will likely play with your kid (or kids) as they did mine.

Thank you so much Rosa for such an incredible experience! The house is impeccable in every which way and the decor is truly stunning to compliment the quaint, NOLA charm! The location was central to great shopping and restaurants which was a priority for our group! The amenities were amazing and all the local recommendations from you Rosa were fantastic! I will absolutely be back to this charmer - it was the perfect house for a weekend getaway!

The Dunlaps are the consummate hosts. You should note that they live next door with their own small children, which is a huge plus, not a downfall. They were generous with their time and suggestions and lovely people all around. The property itself was quite special and felt more like a hotel than a rental home. Well curated, well stocked, nice towels, quality linens, little shampoos ( how many times have I airbnb'd and forgot my shampoo? Too many times to count!) and basically, a kitchen stocked with an assortment of beverages and snacks for purchase, which saved us a trip to the grocery store when we first arrived, tired and parched. My children and I enjoyed our stay thoroughly and two months later, they still talk about "the house with the green couch".

Just returned home from a 4 night stay at this fabulous property with my husband and our 2.5 year old. Everything about the experience was perfect, especially the hosts! I would highly recommend.

We loved the house and New Orleans. everything was great and Rosa has been amazing. Our first experience with Kidandcoe and definitely we will repeat it. Thanks again

New Orleans, Louisiana

Beignets, jazz and streetcar tours

This rich city has so much to offer families it’s hard to know where to start. Beyond its impressive architecture and inspiring musical heritage, it’s got fantastic food (beignets, anyone?), zoos, aquariums and a slew of superb museums. You can try Mardi Gras costumes on at the Mardi Gras Museum, explore voodoo at the New Orleans Historic Voodoo Museum or pilot a tugboat at the Louisiana Children’s Museum. Explore the city by streetcar or steamboat, visit alligator swamps and haunted mansions, or just dig into plates of insanely delicious food and enjoy the ride.
