Perfect house, great hosts, everything very accurately described... (it truly is a 'little gem') The real star here, however, is the Marigny.
When traveling for leisure, we always prefer when possible to 'embed' in a proper neighborhood in lieu of a posh hotel. The Marigny neighborhood has so much to offer...great restaurants, music venues, dive bars and folks! (and it's just minutes on foot to the more touristy French Quarter) Our favorite way to start and end the day was on the front 'stoop', visiting with both passers by and our host and hostess. (our choice btw, they were unintrusive)
We were able to walk to most everywhere, but had good luck with the new United Cab app the few times we chose to take a taxi at night. Parking was not a problem, and although we never used our car while there, finding a spot would not have been difficult. Already looking forward to next year!
