We had an absolutely lovely time a Zak's place. The guesthouse is welcoming and relaxed, very much like the best of New Orleans. Our room wasn't large, but certainly more than adequate, with a comfortable bed, enough space in the armoire for our clothes, a clean bathroom, and great windows that open to the building's wrap-around veranda. One unusual thing is that breakfast (a rather good one, by the way), is served only between 9.30-10.30am. That's fine with me, but I suppose the early riser might need to adjust. The neighborhood, by the way, is fantastic. It's close to the French Quarter, but more importantly Marigny/Bywater themselves are full of local color and life. There are some terrific restaurants, bars, and music clubs a few minutes on foot away (and, the restaurant at the guest house is surprisingly good). And people are just friendly. A great time.
