Nestled within the historic embrace of New Orleans' Central Business District, The Picayune stands as a living testament to the city's rich history, with roots that delve deep into the realm of journalism. Originally home to the historic newspaper, The Times-Picayune, this renovated building boasts a connection to the bustling atmosphere of Newspaper Row, a designation used to describe this block of Camp Street.
Newspaper Row, was a vibrant stretch of Camp Street, and was once the epicenter of the city's journalistic endeavors. The Daily Picayune was a prominent player in this dynamic landscape, and its former headquarters in this building have been carefully transformed into the modern incarnation that is The Picayune today.

The guest bedroom, hosting a queen bed, is equally inviting, with a cleverly designed hallway bathroom that transforms into a private oasis when the door is closed. The upstairs bedroom is a very large room with two full beds a walk in closet and is connected to the upstairs bathroom. This clever configuration adds versatility to the space.
The condo's meticulous design extends beyond the bedrooms. The open living space and high ceilings contribute to the overall sense of airiness, while original brick accents provide a nod to the building's historical charm. Modern amenities, including stainless appliances and Roku-equipped TVs, seamlessly blend with the historic touches, creating a distinctive and comfortable atmosphere.

Girls Trip
I can say how incredible our stay was. The location was super close to anything we wanted to see but far enough away that it was nice and quiet. Communication every step of the way was amazing with a huge call out to Barbara who took care of us from booking right through our stay and who had terrific recommendations of things to do. The property was clean and as described and I travel a lot, little things like the towels were plentiful and thick. Would definitely recommend to anyone going to NOLA and would stay again. Thanks!

Oasis in the middle of New Orleans
We had such a wonderful time staying in this condo. A perfect location to everything. We decided to rent a vehicle due to some activities further away and the hosts provided fantastic recommendations regarding a lot next door. We easily walked to the aquarium, Bourbon Street, Jackson Square, WWII museum, and Canal street from the condo. 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths made it extremely comfortable for the 6 of us. Hosts communicated necessary information throughout the process. Also very responsive. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and when we come back to New Orleans we will definitely be staying here.

A New Orleans Gem
My friends and I had a fantastic time staying here. The place is even more impressive in person and was very comfortable and clean. The neighborhood is lively and interesting and the place is conveniently located to many New Orlean’s sights. Can’t wait to come back and we would definitely choose this place again.

Perfect Location
During a girls trip to NOLA, stayed in the cutest loft! Near everything, walked everywhere. Smelled amazing. Air conditioning was not working properly, but the management team was amazing as accommodating and trying to make it right. I do wish there was a more cozy living area downstairs instead of the massive dining table. We made it work and would stay here again for sure!

Great place to stay in NOLA!
The space was great and a perfect location. Close enough to walk but far enough from the noise. It was perfect for three couples.
