Highly recommend Marys' place. We never got to meet Mary, but were made very welcome by her son Ryan, who was very sociable and helped us make the most of our stay in New Orleans. The apartment itself was very neat and tidy, clean, and we all enjoyed our stay. From here, we walked everywhere, though be aware it is a good 25 minutes walk to the central areas of New Orleans, it was an easy pleasant walk. I wouldn't recommend hiring or bringing a car here, as it really was not needed. There are plenty places nearby where you can shop for any daily needs. Thank you Mary, and a special thanks to Ryan for making our visit extra pleasant!
