Historic Freetown Fixer | 3BR/2BA | Walk Downtown
Summary:
Authentic Lafayette charm at an unbeatable value. Nestled in the historic and artistic Freetown neighborhood, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is perfect for families, festival-goers, and groups who want to be "where the action is" without the premium price tag. While we are currently putting the finishing touches on light exterior and interior renovations, home is fully functional. Walk to downtown music, grab a po'boy around the corner, and enjoy the extra space of a full-sized home.
The Space:
This home captures the spirit of Freetown—historic, eclectic, and welcoming.
Three Spacious Bedrooms: Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Ideal for families or groups who need more than just a hotel room.
Two Full Bathrooms: A rare find in historic neighborhood homes! Having two bathrooms makes getting ready for a night downtown much faster for larger groups.
Kitchen & Laundry: Save on your travel budget with a fully equipped kitchen and the convenience of in-home laundry facilities.
A "Work in Progress" Value: We are currently updating some finishes and exterior details. Because of this, we are offering a discounted rate, making this one of the most affordable 3-bedroom stays in the downtown area.
Guest Access:
Your Privacy: You have exclusive access to the entire 3-bedroom home and its private entrance.
Renovation Note: To ensure complete transparency, please note that you may see light construction materials or unfinished exterior paint during your stay. However, we guarantee that all interior guest areas are clean, safe, and fully accessible.
Smart Check-In: We use a secure Smart Lock system. Your unique code and arrival instructions will be sent automatically at 2:00 PM on your check-in day.
The Neighborhood:
Staying in Freetown-Port Rico means you aren't just a tourist; you're part of a community.
Cultural Vibe: Freetown is Lafayette’s original "walking neighborhood," known for its colorful houses, local artists, and quiet, leafy streets. Step Outside: You are just blocks away from the best of downtown. Walk to Johnson's BoucanièreClick to open side panel for more information for world-famous boudin or Olde Tyme GroceryClick to open side panel for more information for a classic shrimp po'boy.
Music & Nightlife: The legendary venues of Jefferson Street are a short, safe stroll away.
Getting Around:
Walk or Bike: Freetown is exceptionally bike-friendly and walkable. You can easily reach the UL Lafayette campus, downtown breweries, and art galleries on foot.
Free On-Site Parking: No need to worry about downtown parking meters. We provide dedicated parking right at the home.
Regional Access: You are centrally located for quick access to the Thruway, making it easy to drive to the Cajundome or the airport in under 10 minutes.

Four men stayed here two weekends in a row. The only complaint: no curtains in the bathroom that faces a road. It is in a good location; clean, no bugs or trash inside. Everyone slept comfortably. Nothing fancy, but it served its purpose.

We enjoyed it and my father absolutely loved the layout. Very spacious!
Needs serious work before. It should be open to the public.
No hot water , no curtains on windows in bathrooms. The add on room had lots of water damage. There was a half opened bag of chips in kitchen and food. Bathrooms was not clean bathtub had hair all over. The worst place I ever stayed. Definitely needs a lot of work before the public stays the night.
