How does check-in work?
We offer contactless access. Submit your check-in form and identity verification no later than 24 hours before check-in so we can adequately prepare for your stay. Only the Cajun Homes Guest Experience Team may authorize a short-notice exception or waive the 24-hour deadline. Access codes will not activate until both requirements are completed. Your reservation confirms your check-in time.
Is parking included?
Parking for one vehicle is included. Every additional vehicle incurs an additional fee. Additional off-street parking is $37 per vehicle, per night, subject to availability, advance registration, and prepayment. EV charging is $10 per day for the full stay and must be reserved in advance.
Are the homes accessible?
The ground floor flat has a few entrance steps without handrails. The townhouse requires stairs to the second and third floors. Please contact us before booking to discuss your specific access needs.
What should I know about the neighborhood?
Federal Hill is a lively city neighborhood. Our historic building dates to 1790, and street or neighborhood sound may be audible. The townhouse offers more separation from street noise.
Can we host an event?
Gatherings that would exceed the occupancy limit of an individual condo typically require an entire-building reservation to protect the guest experience. Smaller gatherings within the condo’s occupancy limit are considered case by case. All gatherings require prior written approval: send your request to info@cajunhomes.org. Approved gatherings must end by 9:00 p.m.
Quiet hours are 11:00 p.m.–7:00 a.m.

Historic charm & neighborhood sound
Federal Hill is a vibrant city neighborhood, and our historic home dates to 1790. You may hear outdoor activity or sound from the neighboring condo, including footsteps from upstairs. We have added insulation throughout the building to improve comfort, but the home’s historic architecture limits some modifications. We make every effort to provide a pleasant stay; complete silence cannot be guaranteed.
Quiet hours & gatherings
Quiet hours are 11:00 p.m.–7:00 a.m. Please respect our neighbors and guests in the other condo.

Commercial photography and filming are not permitted.
Smoking, vaping & cleanup
Smoking and vaping are prohibited indoors at all times. Guests who smoke must move away from the building, near parking space 4, or off the property to a city sidewalk or street where permitted. Smoking near the front door is never acceptable. Cigarette butts found on the ground trigger an automatic $100 cleanup charge.
Furniture, shoes & care of the home
Moving or rearranging furniture is strictly prohibited. Violations will result in fines and immediate termination of your stay.
Please remove your shoes at the door to protect families with small children and preserve the original hardwood floors.
We do not accept pets. Service animals are welcome. Additional cleaning during your stay is available on request for an additional fee.
Parking & vehicle responsibility
Your reservation includes parking for one vehicle. Every additional vehicle incurs an additional fee and must be registered, approved, and prepaid before arrival. Additional off-street parking may be available on a first-come, first-served basis for $37 per additional vehicle, per night. All parking fees are nonrefundable. Parking for one vehicle does not authorize parking multiple vehicles in the same space.
Oversized vehicles may incur an additional fee and/or be required to park offsite. Please contact info@cajunhomes.org before arrival to confirm parking arrangements.
Limited temporary guest street parking permits may be available for $20 per night on a first-come, first-served basis, subject to permit and night limits. Permits must be arranged in advance and are nonrefundable. Do not assume that overnight street parking is permitted; follow all posted signs and permit requirements.
Guests are responsible for parking legally and complying with all posted signs, parking regulations, and permit requirements. Cajun Homes is not responsible for parking tickets, towing, vehicle damage, theft, vandalism, or other vehicle-related incidents or losses.
Identity verification, arrival & departure
Submit your check-in form and identity verification no later than 24 hours before check-in so we can adequately prepare for your stay. Only the Cajun Homes Guest Experience Team may authorize a short-notice exception or waive the 24-hour deadline. Access codes will not activate until both requirements are completed.
Your reservation confirms your check-in time. Checkout is by 11:00 a.m. unless a later checkout has been approved.
Contact & written approvals
Send general inquiries and gathering approval requests to info@cajunhomes.org. The Managing Director’s email is reserved for escalations and executive matters.
Entire condos. Private living spaces.
Each reservation is for an entire private condo, with its own kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and living space. The condos share the building’s main front door; each has its own locked entrance inside. Reserve both condos together for a whole-building stay.
Safety & consideration
To support a peaceful stay and respect our neighbors, exterior security cameras monitor outdoor areas. Inside each condo, Minut sensors measure noise levels and monitor occupancy. Minut sensors do not record conversations, audio, or video.
