Dana is an amazing host and the Marigny Cottage is like staying in the after of an HGTV show. The bed and shower are amazing, and the room is just enough space to relax between exploring the best city ever. Marigny is a great neighborhood - you are in walking distance of Port of Call, Buffas, Ruby Slipper Cafe, and Mimis. Rampart Food Store also has the best shrimp po boy ever and the Esplanade Mini Mart is a 24/7 lifesaver in a city that never sleeps. You are within walking distance of the French Quarter and adjacent to Frenchmen Street, but the neighborhood is quiet enough that you can still get sleep (or even a nap) at any hour. Dana is right next door, and responds quickly to any need - she is an excellent host and had arranged for parking passes before we arrived. The neighborhood residents are friendly and quite welcoming to people who are tourists. Would recommend for anyone interested in getting a more low key experience in this city.
