Big Mama's is a stylish, Caribbean-influenced, mid-century, single-story, single-family residence, fully surround-gated, mini-compound. Located just off St Claude Avenue, it's nestled in the heart of Bywater, 2 miles southeast of the French Quarter, close to the Mississippi River. Big Mama's is a perfect place to stay for: Filming crews, Corporate housing, Traveling Health care professionals, Racehorse crews, the lone traveler & any guests requiring a longer term, turn-key, stylish, comfortable, yet economical place to stay in New Orleans with all the amenities of home & then some. Additionally, its large, well-designed kitchen with 5-burner stainless steel cooktop on a center island also makes this space a perfect venue for intimate home-style cooking. Big Mama's features a very favorable floor plan for travelers in groups or families traveling with children, above all catering to travelers who cherish PRIVACY LIKE HOME. Most classic NoLa Victorians are "shotgun-style" architecture, whereby the floor plan makes it so that guests must walk through other guest's bedrooms in order to access common indoor areas (such as bathrooms, living rooms & kitchens) going in a single row of rooms from the front to the back of the house. Big Mama's however has a 20th century floor plan that includes bedroom privacy like you're used to which comes in handy when you're vacationing with larger groups & for extended stays! Namely, all 3 bedrooms at Big Mama's have their own separate doors with private access from common area hallways. Fully private bedrooms are an unusual amenity for New Orleans! It's a 100% whole house rental with 3 bedrooms & 2 baths, that can sleep up to 8. Guests to NoLa needing a longer term stay can enjoy this beautifully furnished, clean, conveniently located, private, New Orleans single-family home for a super great price that fits their specific needs. Home to singer Ani Defranco, Bywater is not the fanciest neighborhood in the Big Easy but it is hands-down THE FASTEST GROWING & therefore the HIPPEST one in all of New Orleans. Attributes that contribute to its growth include the influx of film industry professionals, with more & more cutting edge restauranteurs, new bars & micro-breweries coming in every year to accommodate the influx. The Caribbean-bound cruise ship terminal recently making a home on its shores has stirred further interest with plans in the works to run the street car line down here too. Bywater's burgeoning yet still raw charm has ultimately attracted all types of young artists bringing refreshing diversity & creativity & filling this neighborhood with new purpose. (To see some of this in action visit 'The Print Shop', located only 2 doors from Big Mama's, for a Saturday night art show/bohemian gathering it has become a community art center known all over NoLa.) And some of the best Mardi Gras parades either originate, come through, or end in Bywater. Notably is the adults-only, satirical, Krewe du Vieux. With mule-drawn carriages & pertinent political commentary, Krewe du Vieux is considered the most individualistic & traditional of all New Orleans parading krewes & pulls in locals & tourists alike during Mardi Gras season like no other parade. While Uber & Lyft offer service to Big Mama's quickly & efficiently & are the preferred mode of transportation after-dark (or once the drinking begins) guests often also opt to rent a car or drive their own while staying in NoLa. Big Mama's is fully gated & enclosed with surround-fencing 6 to 7-foot high & this includes off-street fully-gated parking for up to 3 vehicles. Off-street gated parking is another unusual amenity for anything this close to the Quarter. Utilities stay in owner's name and include all, such as electric, gas, water, sewerage as well as High-speed WiFi, additional $250. (approx.) for utilities, payable to owner. Owner provides copies of bills to tenant each month.
