Connie's place in the Marigny neighborhood was perfect for our weekend getaway to NOLA. Location was the best - about an 8-10 minute walk to the very popular Frenchmen St. and just a few minutes more into the French Quarter. The place is very cozy and intimate with beautiful photographs on the walls, efficiency kitchen, nice bedroom and a great shower. Also provided are soaps, shampoo and various medicine cabinet basics if you forgot your own as well as a great book Connie has put together with a ton of info about what to see and do in NOLA. The place is best suited for two people as it is quite mini, but has everything you need in a very efficient space. the place has a lot of character and feels like home. We enjoyed coming back from our day/night of exploring and settling in on the couch to listen to a bit more great music from a terrific sound system they have setup in the main room. We didn't do any cooking there except to make coffee (provided by Connie), but everything you need is there if you wanted to cook a meal. We enjoyed the proximity to Ruby Slippers (one block away) for the best eggs benedict I've ever had - hands down! The neighborhood is older, established, quirky and colorful, safe to walk around during the day and early evenings. At night we took Uber/Lyft everywhere - side streets and neighborhoods in general in NOLA are not lit. Absolutely loved our stay. Don't just go to the French Quarter, there's so much more to see. The newish sculpture park within the botanical gardens (near NOMA) is not to be missed - some amazing artworks there. And pay attention to your surroundings in NOLA - the street art is prolific all throughout the neighborhoods, from huge murals to manhole covers to skinny alleyways, a lot of great art on the streets. Our first visit to NOLA was the best, can't wait to come back. Thanks Connie for making our stay perfect!
