Wonderful place!! Our hosts, Cheryl and Donnie, were very friendly, gracious, helpful and full of good tips about where to eat, excursions, etc. The apartment is quiet and just as cozy as promised (though spacious), decorated in an endearingly quirky-yet-tasteful decor that is perfectly suited to the charming, funky quality of the Faubourg Marigny. The aprtment is very clean, beds are very comfortable, and there is even a pool to douse yourself in after those hot New Orleans days.
The Marigny is a neighbourhood brimming with artists, musicians, hipsters, and regular folks. The streets are a delight to walk down, with delightful little houses vying for attention with their multi-colored Caribbean color-schemes, down-home verandahs and lush gardens. Frenchman Street, with its plethora of great music places (we especially liked the Spotted Cat and the Three Muses) is very walkable, but if you want to explore the nieghbourhood with even more freedom, bikes are easily rentable. We had great meals in the neighbourhood, from the intimate courtyard hideaway "Feelings" to an excellent breakfast/lunch restaurant run by culinary students of the nearby NOCCA.
We would definitely come back here, and have already recommended it to several people.
