The Firehouse has 7 bedrooms...3 loft bedrooms on the Main Floor, 2 bedrooms in the Penthouse, and 2 bedrooms in the courtyard. Combined, they sleep 14-16 people comfortably and with lots of privacy.

Summary: Stay was great! Only criticism I have is finding out the upstairs AC wasn’t fully operational on the day we arrived.
Bill M. May 22, 2024 02:31:58 AM
Summary: If you've ever stayed in a novelty-type place you know that lots of times the reality doesn't match the hype. Not here. These hosts have thought of everything to make the stay amazing. A property like this has an endless amount of upkeep, and yet they haven't missed a thing. We loved it so much!
Anngie T. May 14, 2024 05:56:04 PM
Summary: Engine 24 House was a great stay! We enjoyed all of the carefully selected furnishings that showed the history of the firehouse. We definitely recommend this house for a unique vacation.

Summary: We had 10 friends come for French Quarter Fest and this place was PERFECT!!! Comfy private quiet rooms, gorgeous places to hang out; we especially enjoyed the internal patio. Super convenient to walk from. Safe, quiet, spacious, comfortable, good communication, well-stocked, conveniently located… I can’t say enough good things! We would definitely stay here again. One person said it was the best nights sleep he has ever gotten!

Summary: This property is really cool. Great job of sticking with the firehouse theme without it being corny. Perhaps not the best place if you have someone in your group with a disability as there are a lot of stairs but wasn't a problem for us. Only downside I can think of is walking back to the property after hitting a couple of bars in the neighborhood we were threatened by a person who implied he had a gun and told us not to be there. Other than that it would be good for someone looking to book that all bathrooms are connected to bedrooms so if you fill all of the rooms with your party there isn't a handy bathroom for common use. Everyone had a blast. Cheap, quick Ubers to French Quarter. St. Roch Market was a huge highlight of the trip with something for everyone. Truly unforgettable. Would absolutely book again. Pool table was a huge bonus that added to the fun.

Summary: Everything was perfect!! Beth was awesome and met us when we arrived early. We so enjoyed our stay.
David B. Mar 25, 2024 12:57:13 AM
Summary: The house was very spacious and easily accommodated 6 golfers. Courtyard was a nice retreat. The gathering area was large enough to easily accommodate 12 golfers. The description stated hot tub which was in error. The pool table was a nice treat.

Summary: I loved this property as soon as I saw it while searching for a place for 11 adult family members to stay to enjoy Nola before a Louisiana wedding. The Firehouse is special, attractively furnished and a fun place to stay. Beth was easy to communicate with and easy to reach. The Firehouse has strong showers and robust wifi. It was a wonderful place to return to after hours of exploring the city. The Firehouse is a 15-min walk to the French Quarter and Beth clearly guides to walk along Royal St and to rideshare back at night. Of course we forgot and followed Google Maps instead the first two nights and admittedly walked through a sketchy area that made most of our party nervous. Listen to the host’s suggestions! The two kitchens were well equipped but we didn’t use them since Cafe du Monde and other great eateries are nearby. The laundry room was well used though, as was the pool table and plastic fire hats for photos. My only negative was a gas-like odor that seemed to permeate from the kitchen stove. Beth immediately arranged for plumbers to come over who assured us of no gas leak but the smell lingered and we kept four fans on most of our stay. We appreciated Beth’s prompt attention. A lovely stay and would love to return if we ever reconvene as a large group again in Louisiana. Thanks so much to Beth.

Summary: Our group was a total of 12 people age ranging from 23-40. Most of us hadn’t been to NOLA before this location allowed us to explore the area and spend time at the house without feeling cramped!
Catherine R. Mar 5, 2024 03:03:57 AM
Summary: 11 of us stayed here for a bachelorette girls weekend. Engine 24 exceeded my expectations! The check-in process was very easy and convenient. The property itself was stunning with its ornate and historical details. Everyone was able to sleep comfortably here. Each room contained noise well and was pretty quiet. It was a pleasure to stay in a piece of New Orleans history.
