Just 10–15 minutes from the iconic French Quarter and only 5 minutes from the peaceful Lakefront, this modern retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, culture, and convenience—ideal for travelers visiting for tourism, personal getaways, or business. Gentilly is more than just a neighborhood—it’s a reflection of New Orleans’ layered architectural, cultural, and community-driven history. With its mix of raised cottages and mid-century homes, Gentilly stands as a living tribute to New Orleans’ efforts to blend suburban comfort within an urban landscape. It’s also home to historic institutions like Dillard University and Southern University at New Orleans, further enriching the area’s cultural roots. Though not formally a landmark district, Gentilly is considered historically significant for its deep community ties, resilient spirit, and unique role in the city's development—offering residents and visitors a peaceful retreat just minutes from the energy of downtown. Originally settled along the ancient Gentilly Ridge, the area saw its most transformative growth in the mid-20th century as part of a post-war expansion guided by architects and urban planners inspired by the Garden City movement. With thoughtful layouts and an emphasis on open green spaces, Gentilly has remained a peaceful, residential enclave while offering quick access to the heart of the city. Inside the home, you’ll find approximately 1,350 square feet of carefully designed space that proves you don’t need a massive footprint to live large. Every inch of the layout has been intentionally crafted to feel open and comfortable while offering privacy and functionality. The first floor features two private bedrooms: one with a chic queen-size canopy bed and another with custom twin bunk beds—ideal for kids, friends, or additional guests. A full bathroom with sleek finishes is easily accessible from both rooms. The heart of the home is the open-concept kitchen and living space, complete with shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a stunning 9-foot island perfect for cooking, dining, or socializing. The vaulted living room offers rustic wood beams, a cozy sectional, and an 80" HD smart TV with surround sound—perfect for movie nights or relaxed evenings in. Tucked discreetly under the stairs is a dedicated remote-work space, ideal for catching up on business or creative tasks after a day of exploring. Upstairs, the lofted third bedroom offers the perfect balance between privacy and openness. It’s a cozy and elevated space that allows you to stay connected to the social energy of the home below while still being tucked far enough back to provide a sense of retreat when desired. This room features a custom wood platform bed, built-in closets, and its own private ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. While the loft is open to the space below, it feels tucked away—making it a cozy, peaceful retreat for rest, reading, or remote work. Step outside to enjoy a beautifully landscaped two-tiered garden deck, complete with built-in planters, integrated lighting, a shaded pergola, and a sunny lounge area for stargazing or morning coffee. It's a private urban oasis ideal for relaxing solo or entertaining with friends. Whether you're visiting New Orleans for its culture, cuisine, music, or business opportunities, this modern home in historic Gentilly offers a thoughtfully designed, well-located space to unwind and feel at home. Book your stay now to enjoy smart design, local charm, and the perfect blend of peace and proximity. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Porch/lanai ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Area rugs in public areas - Handrails in stairways - Hardwood flooring in public areas - Smooth flooring in public areas - Tile flooring in public areas - Upper floors accessible by stairs only - Well-lit path to entrance - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Energy-saving switches in guestrooms - Garden ## Similar properties ![Luxury Suite, 2 Bedrooms, Balcony](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108770000/108761500/108761427/f6ba89b9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bonsoir New Orleans Central Business District - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 26 reviews CA $226 CA $510 total includes taxes & fees Dec 2 - Dec 3 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-02&endDate=2025-12-03&selected=108761427&PinnedHotelID=108761427&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Breakfast, lunch, dinner served; American cuisine ](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/10000/9400/9319/10390693.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holiday Inn Metairie New Orleans by IHG Old Metairie - Pool - Parking included - Free WiFi - Restaurant 8.0 Very good 1,029 reviews CA $152 CA $175 total includes taxes & fees Dec 7 - Dec 8 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=9319&PinnedHotelID=9319&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/97000000/96170000/96162300/96162217/6b3b40eb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pristine 4BD w Pool | Driveway Parking | Balcony Gentilly - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.6 Exceptional 4 reviews CA $169 CA $760 total includes taxes & fees Nov 12 - Nov 13 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-12&endDate=2025-11-13&selected=96162217&PinnedHotelID=96162217&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116190000/116180900/116180874/w1019h679x0y11-60580d62.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury Home near Downtown ideal for Couples, Friends’ Getaways & Remote Working Gentilly - Kitchen - Dryer - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-22&endDate=2025-11-23&selected=116180874&PinnedHotelID=116180874&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/111000000/110910000/110900800/110900770/efde46fa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Franklin Manor- Just minutes away from the French Quarter and Lake Pontchartrain Gentilly - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-22&endDate=2025-11-23&selected=110900770&PinnedHotelID=110900770&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, DVD player, books, video library](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/19000000/18980000/18977500/18977439/b2c776ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Thanksgiving Open w/ Viking Kitchen!
