When we arrived to the house on Sankt Roche we found it even nicer than we expected. Mary's son, Ryan showed us around in a very polite, but easy and friendly way. We where two persons who really could keep our privacy, and still have a lot of space for socializing and to spend quality-time in. The house is a truly inspiring place with a beautiful little backyard/patio filled with plants where you could sit and relax. It's very well equipped with everything you need. From towels, perfume and hairdryer to breakfast, creole seasoning and blender. The beds was extraordinary comfortable and everything was clean and neat.
The neighborhood in the east/north part of Marigny is very good and interesting. On one side you've got beautiful tight streets, small classic shotgun houses with beautiful porches, bars and restaurangs. On the other side a great health center/co up, and then Sankt Claude Ave with music-clubs and ordinary life of New Orleans. You'll have 5-10 minutes walk out west to Frenchman Street's music bars, 10 to French Quarters and 5-10 east to Baywaters hipster-world and the new Crescent park along Mississippi.
Mary ans Ryan is the best hosts you can get. They always respond when you need them and I want to thank them for a wonderful time of work and joy in lovable NOLA.
