We loved being in a quiet neighborhood a few blocks walk to Frenchmen Street. The walk to the furthest end of Bourbon Street (to Canal) was about 30min. The Marigny neighborhood has all the charm of NOLA without the tourist components of Bourbon Street. There were so many neat corner bars, cafes, restaurants 'right there' that we found that we didn't venture into Bourbon Street as much as we thought we would. Michael's place was extremely clean. Beds were comfortable. A perfect set-up for my husband, myself and college-grad daughter.
