The perfect stay in New Orleans -- experiencing the city like a local. Always have wanted one of those shotgun houses that we've walked past through the years. The Marigny Gem is that and more! A lovely front stoop and bench kept us happy people watching for hours & love the festive twinkle lights in the backyard. The perfect location as it's easy walk to Frenchmen, Bywater and the Quarter yet quiet enough at night - slept like a baby! And Kathleen is a wonderful host - easy logistics, lots of recommends and the bikes and umbrellas were a thoughtful touch! Can't wait to go back!
