I rented out Zalia's place above the All Ways lounge. 4 of us stayed very comfortably there and we couldn't have picked a better spot to stay. Zalia was a great host and the house was in a very walkable location in the Marigny. While the house wasn't as polished as staying in a fancy hotel, it was quite comfortable for all of us. The wrap around balcony and large patio were all big bonuses.

The people working the bar downstairs were friendly and welcoming and I would certainly return there even if not staying at this house. In addition, cross the street to Siberia for some excellent food.

The only annoying thing for me was master suite is facing a busy road, so I would suggest to bring some earplugs just in case you are a light sleeper. The room was so nice, I thought the road noise was a minor tradeoff. For 4 guys in their 30's (and quite possibly drinking problems) this was a fantastic place. If I were travelling with my grandmother or some other fussy old gal, I would elsewhere.
