Our stay at Zakary’s inn was nothing short of magical. With all of New Orleans to explore, just steps from the French Quarter, it was tempting to just hang out in our charming, comfortable room. We loved the little balcony, which overlooked fragrant orange trees and the colorful houses of the Marigny. I could have spent an afternoon out there with one of the many interesting books left for guests in our room and the common areas. While we never met Zakary, he was a great host, super communicative and flexible; he allowed us to check in early and check out late without any issues, rather than having to stress about where to leave our bags. The numbered codes for the exterior door and door to our room made the process of checking in and out so simple. And did I mention how charming it is? If you like old homes filled with character (and eclectic vintage furniture to boot), this is it. It does have some of the quirks of an old building - we had a bit of trouble getting the water hot enough a few times - but it wasn’t a big deal at all. Likewise the staircase leading up to our room was steep- but just one flight, and didn’t bother us. If you have mobility issues, consider requesting a ground floor room. The surrounding neighborhood is great too- Zakary’s place is close to the jazz clubs on Frenchmen St and we had several delicious meals at St. Roch Market, just a few blocks away. We would (and will) happily stay here again.
