Other special events throughout the year will moderately affect rates, as well as minimal stay requirements.  These changes vary depending on event, schedule associated with the specific event, and the season.  When we receive your email or call regarding specific dates you are interested in, we will be happy to provide you with a specific quote, including associated fees.

You will notice a modest seasonal rate change for both units — two rates, two seasons, one small variation.

In addition to seasonal variation, certain larger special events (Jazz Fest, Essence Fest, French Quarter Fest, VooDoo Fest, and Mardi Gras) will affect rates.  When you inquire about specific dates which may fall into one of theses larger event categories, we will send you a specific breakdown of rates and associated fees in order to calculate the total costs for your stay.  Just email us with the dates you are interested in, and we’ll send you the itemization- just like the format utilized in the rental agreement.
