Most people come to NOLA to play in NOLA- we came to visit our son and grandchildren so it was wonderful to have a comfortable, well-located, and nicely appointed space to visit with them. We used to live in NOLA and were pleased to see how much that area of Tchoupitoulas had cleaned up. The apartment is well equipped- comfortable bed, dishes, pots, good shampoo, conditioner and body wash (means one doesn't need to waste luggage space on liquids). The space itself is really nicely decorated- not the usual bland IKEA space but really some nice touches. The location was ideal for us; there are lots of really good places within walking distance (including a great yoga studio, Wild Lotus). Rouses is a terrific grocery store across the street. Dos Jefes is one mile away on Tchoup and has terrific music every night with no cover, and of course there's Tipitinas all of a block away. The bus is really convenient (get an RTA pass) and it's easy to walk up to St. Charles and get the streetcar. Likewise, Magazine is a 6 minute walk and there are all sorts of places to explore there (mind you, we try to avoid the quarter when we're there). We plan to try to stay in Marigney's place whenever we can. Comfortable, convenient and lovely to spend time in.
