My husband and i (we are a teacher & guide/artist couple) are so glad we opted for staying in the Marigny - and that our "home away from home" was Cheryl's house. Being only 15 minutes walk from the French Quarter and other major sights the Marigny is quieter yet quirky neighborhood, beautiful creole architecture abound. French Street, just a couple of minutes away has all the bars and restos one may need, too. Cheryl's place is spacious, inviting and very well kept. She and her husband live upstairs, the rental is downstairs with private access. It is furnished with care and personal touch, it has a beautiful patio with a pool and lovely greenery and a fully equipped kitchen. We also profited of her collection of books on New Orleans. We would recommend this place without hesitation.
