This cottage was incredibly charming, adorable and well-kept. It had any and all modern amenities you could ask for to ensure a comfortable stay (air conditioning + wi-fi), plus plenty of towels and clean dishes. I stayed in the smaller room, converted from a porch, and my other guest stayed in the larger bedroom. One thing to note: an overnight rain storm made quite the racket in the smaller room, due to the exterior door and exposed roof, enought to keep me awake for about an hour one night. However, the sounds of people coming home late from the bars didn't bother either of us, nor did the light footsteps of the other guests staying above us in the loft.

The neighborhood was low-key and welcoming; everyone we walked past greeted us politely and we looked forward to hearing the fruit truck drive by in the AM! We spent each day walking around the French Quarter and Marigny, which was short but scenic 12 minute walk down Esplanade from the cottage. We'd come back here in a heartbeat.
