We grew up and lived in New Orleans much of our adulthood but never spent much time in the Marginy and we really wanted to have a different experience - we are so happy we decided to stay at Virginia's. We were in for my father's birthday, but also wanted to have time to enjoy the flavor of the city. The place is just as described and in a perfect location. So much music and great hangouts within steps. We felt comfortable coming in late at night and we even had a car that we parked/found a spot for every night. Virginia was always available to answer our questions via email or text. I highly recommend booking a stay here - weave in and out of the local bars, catch breakfast at Cafe Rose, visit the art market, and take home a great souvenir from The Louisiana Music Factory.
