Mary's is a wonderful place to stay in the Garden District. She includes thoughtful touches, like umbrellas, a first-aid kit, and a fresh carton of creamer. Her binder of information is helpful for learning about the area and nearby restaurants, of which they are quite a few, including the incredible Shaya. It's not far to St. Charles and the trolley, and Magazine is less than a minute away. A quiet area away from the tourist crush in the French Quarter, but there's still plenty to see and do as well as a nightlife with a few 24-hour bars. We liked Le Bon Temps Roule, especially on Friday with their free oysters and live piano music. We would stay again!
