This place was great for those wanting to be close to the French quarter /marigny/ by water and not too far to other areas by car . You can see that a lot of thought went into the home and I do agree that pictures don’t do it justice . One heads up to those traveling with small children or who are light sleepers and plan on being home earlier in evening -there is an annoying freight train that comes throughout night ( 10pm and 2,3,5 am) . Hosts were very friendly and live next door so can help out almost immediately !
