We loved our stay at James's place! The Marigny neighborhood was fun and convenient. The house was within walking distance to all the music and action on Frenchman's St., yet very quiet back at "home." We rented blue bikes from a hub that was practically around the corner and used them to get to the French Quarter, ride along the river, look for Banksy's "Umbrella Girl" and other street murals, and explore deep into the Bywater area. A grocery store and some delicious restaurants (Mimi's, Silk Road...)were all within three blocks. Totally loved the St. Roche Market's upscale "food court." We quickly figured out there were lots of good eats close to "home," away from the more touristy areas. The house had everything we needed. Our bed, next to the kitchen had a super comfy mattress and the softest sheets ever! We were easily able to cook some eggs, toast, and coffee for breakfast in the well-equipped kitchen. If you are looking for perfectly level floors and unlimited hot water, you might be happier at a hotel . If you want a home away from home, enjoy discovering artsy neighborhoods and great local food, and still have easy access to all things NOLA, this is the place for you. Thank you James, for sharing your charming home with us!
