Make your lodging as unique as New Orleans itself.  The Villa Viola is located in the Faubourg Marigny, just blocks from New Orleans' famous French Quarter.  Formerly the residence of entertainer Viola Veidt, this large two bedroom apartment is filled with art, antiques and memorabilia from her fascinating life.  The daughter of international movie star Conrad Veidt (Major Strasser in Casablanca), Miss Veidt knew many of the famous and infamous personalities of the twentieth century including Tennessee Williams, whose Duncan Street compound in Key West was her home for many years.  While maintaining the original warmth and eclectic style of the apartment, we have added modern amenities such as central heat and air, flat screen television and DVD player, wireless Internet connection and full laundry facilities.  You will be within easy walking distance of the French Quarter, the riverfront streetcar and the Frenchmen Street entertainment district.  For those who enjoy shopping, you will also be steps away from fine art galleries, antique stores and many of New Orleans' fun bohemian shops. The apartment is in a 1950's era building and consists of a large living room, kitchen and dining area, with two separate bedrooms and a single bathroom.  The large, comfortable living room has French casement windows that look out at the charming Victorian streetscape of St. Roch Ave.  The kitchen and dining area is fully equipped with full-sized refrigerator, stove and laundry facilities.  The large master bedroom has a queen-sized walnut four-poster bed, antique Chippendale sofa, and a hand-painted Victorian bedroom suite.  The second bedroom features a hand-painted Victorian queen-sized bed with an antique golden oak dresser, vintage Louis XIII chair and custom comforter and drapes.  The charm of the original deco-style bath has been updated with a designer sink and vanity.
