The space
Welcome to Maison du Madison our fully updated cottage apartment. Check us out on Nola Styles on Youtube.
You'll enjoy our more than 100-year-old home complete with:
- Fully private apartment with key code entrance
- 15-foot ceilings
- multiple fireplaces
- crown molding
- original cypress wood flooring
- era-appropriate furnishings
Plus!
- secure wifi
- central AC
and all the creature comforts you'd enjoy in a modern home.
You'll be staying in our beautiful Magnolia Suite, a comfortable, lushly appointed private apartment with an adjacent lounge and bath complete with claw-foot tub/shower.
We've stayed in plenty of Airbnbs so we know a thing or two about thoughtfulness. Things we've taken care of for you include:
- Easy custom key code lock so you don’t have to worry about hunting for, losing, or swapping keys with your partner
- Plenty of FREE street parking, often right in front of our house.
- Comfy living area/lounge with sofa, TV, DVD player, Chrome cast, games, fridge, microwave, and coffee maker
- Bathroom, with full size claw foot tub/shower, vanity and antique medicine cabinet.
- There isn't a TV in your bedroom, but there is in your lounge and we have high speed internet so you can stream to your computer or tablet.
- We stock the room with one towel set per guest, if you need more, just ask.
- We include a small a coffee bar with coffee that’s easy to make each morning
- Mini fridge for stocking left overs
- Microwave to heat them up
- Central air and heat
- Exterminator service
- There is a small collection of board games
- Super cute, hypoallergenic and snuggly pup lives just next door
All on one of the cutest blocks in New Orleans.
Also, we're open to all friendly and polite guests no matter your walk of life, or leg count (bring your pup).
FRIENDLY ADVICE: Some friendly advice on booking in New Orleans. The City has made it illegal to own properties for the sole purpose of renting out to guests. This means all Airbnbs are either part time, a private apartment, or part of a family’s home. If you’ve been looking and wondering “what’s up with that entrance, layout, etc?” That’s what you’re witnessing. Here are some other tips to make your exploring and finding the right place for your stay a bit easier:
- View the outside AND inside photos of accommodations you plan book to avoid any surprises when you arrive. Look in our photo gallery and/or use your map program of choice to view the neighborhood and outside views of the home.
- Inquire (or look in the listing for) a license number. Ours is 17STR-06648. All properties are required by the City of New Orleans (and Airbnb) to be registered and licensed. There are plenty of phonies out there, so beware!
- Many properties use enhanced or inaccurate photos to make their property look nicer or cleaner than it really is. We are proud to accurately represent our property in our photos. Look at our reviews that refer to our home being "nicer" or "better" than shown in the photos.
- Architecturally speaking, our home is a renovated, double shotgun. The house layout is such that this apartment is fully private (separate entrance) you'll enter through your own, well lit, camera secured front door. We’ll be next door and as available or scarce as you’d like.
Guest access
Your space is 100% your own during your stay.
Other things to note
Furballs welcome. We are dog-friendly. So long as they're behaved and friendly too.
Why is this location so great for you and your best friend(s)?
- extra bowls and snacks in case you forget anything
- 1 block from an enclosed dog run
- 5-minute walk from an amazing dog shop/doggy daycare for all your pups needs
- 10-minute walk from the entrance to dog-friendly Crescent Park which includes a lovely walking or jogging path along the Mississippi.
- an off-leash dog run at one end and the French Quarter at the other
- we can tell you a few dog-friendly bars/cafes to hit up too

About the host
Hosted by Elisa Cool
The Marigny, established in the early 19th century, was the second expansion of the then, Nouvelle Orleans, following only the Treme. The land was sought after because of its high ground, close proximity to the bustle of downtown, and closer proximity to the river. Creole cottages styled in the simple but popular shotgun, townhouse, and lavish center hall style seemed to go up overnight.
Just over 200 years later, a young woman named Elisa Cool would fling open the shutters to a Creole cottage of her own and dub it Maison du Madison after her beloved companion a miniature Goldendoodle named Madison.
Shortly after moving in, her best friends started traveling down to New Orleans to pay their regards. She set up a guest suite and let the good times roll. Everyone had such a good time that a few even evolved their trips into annual or even twice annual pilgrimages.
Elisa loved the company and truly enjoyed sharing the city that had won her heart with the people who had won her friendship years before. She got up the courage and got online in hopes of expanding her network of “friends” and offering the guest suite up as a place to land for tired travelers who shared her love of New Orleans.
Several visitors, and one new boyfriend called Matt, later it was time to upgrade. The couple spent weeks reframing the footprint of the suite with added doors, sashes, and even a new front stoop so that their guests could enjoy New Orleans on their own terms. They were sure to include the things they appreciated in their own travels and that included places that appreciated Madison as much as they did. And, the Magnolia Guest Suite was born.
Today Maison du Madison hosts many guests and Elisa & Matt (now married) remain available to concierge, at the ready with tips and tricks to help their guests & their pets appreciate New Orleans at its best... whatever their definition of best may be.

What makes this property unique
Furballs welcome. So long as they're behaved and friendly they'll be best pals fast with Maddie (the home's namesake).
We have extra bowls and snacks in case you forget anything, but we are also a 5 minute walk from an amazing dog shop for all your pups needs. We are a 5-10 minute walk from the and we offer doggy day care should you wish to experience Nola without watching the clock.
FRIENDLY ADVICE: Some friendly advice on booking in New Orleans. The City has made it illegal to own properties for the sole purpose of renting out to guest. This means all Airbnbs are either part time, a private apartment, or part of a family’s home. If you’ve been looking and wondering “what’s up with that entrance, layout, etc?” That’s what you’re witnessing. Here are some other tips to make your exploring and finding the right place for your stay a bit easier:
- View the outside AND inside photos of accommodations you plan book to avoid any surprises when you arrive. Look in our photo gallery and/or use your map program of choice to view the neighborhood and outside views of the home.
- Inquire (or look in the listing for) a license number. All properties are required by the City of New Orleans (and Airbnb) to be registered and licensed. There are plenty of phonies out there, so beware!
- Many properties use enhanced or inaccurate photos to make their property look nicer or cleaner than it really is. We are proud to accurately represent our property in our photos. Look at our reviews that refer to our home being "nicer" or "better" than shown in the photos.
- Architecturally speaking, our home is a renovated, double shotgun. The house layout is such that this apartment is fully private (separate entrance) you'll enter through your own, well lit, camera secured front door. We’ll be next door and as available or scarce as you’d like.
