Get cooking with gas one block off St. Charles, the prime Mardi Gras parade route, so you can catch beads without catching a ladder to the forehead. The streetcar is right there too, for the other 355 days when nobody is throwing anything.This well-kept half double is a shockingly pretty 2-bedroom, 1-bath: vibrant wood floors, central air and heat, ceiling fans, and enough storage to hide the costumes. The kitchen comes with wood cabinets and the appliances you want, already installed: refrigerator, range/oven, and an in-unit washer and dryer. One bedroom is big enough for a bed and a home office, or a bed and everything you can catch at the parades? heck almost a basketball court. Parking is included. The backyard is shared, which is very New Orleans of it. The landlord handles the lawn and the bugs. You handle the utilities. No pets. Not a he's basically a cat, not a pet that lives at your mom's except on weekends, not a dog and he is only 3 pounds.. Absolutely none so we can keep it hypoallergenic for future tenants. Universities, hospitals, restaurants, groceries, museums, the CBD, and the Warehouse District are an easy streetcar hop. Parade season, you are a block off the main route. The rest of the year, you still get Uptown without a float parked in your life.
