Slow Rise

Slow Rise: Louisiana

Not too far from the bright lights and buzzing atmosphere on Bourbon Street, this sparkling townhouse is an excellent spot to kick back and relax. There's plenty of space across the three levels, making it an ideal option for friends and families to come together and socialise. Everyone can gather in the breezy open-plan living space after a long day of sightseeing, whether you're cooking up a Southern feast in the glossy kitchen, sharing a bottle of wine around the dining table or resting weary legs on the plush sectional sofa. On sunny days, step onto the balcony for some fresh air and a few evening tipples or head down to the communal courtyard and play a game of giant chess. End the evening with a soak in the lavish bathtub before climbing into the comfortable beds.

We love the location, too. It's smack-dab in Mid City, but must-see sights like Bourbon Street, the French Quarter and the Riverwalk are only twenty minutes away if you hop on one of the city's famous streetcars. And you don't have to travel far for some good food and strong drinks – there's a wide array of restaurants and bars nearby to whet your appetite.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area
*There isn't enough space around the dining table for all twelve guests – four people will have to sit at the breakfast bar
*Likewise, there are only two full bathrooms, so you may need to rethink your morning routine
*The courtyard is shared with the building's other residents
*This home is set over three levels and requires guests to climb stairs – it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*Your host owns multiple homes here, so the exact view and furnishings may vary slightly from the photos
*While you won't need a car here, there is a two-car garage and on-street parking available for those who prefer to drive
