I was looking for a place in/near Marigny on the recommendation of some friends who'd lived in New Orleans. Joanne's three rooms are lovely, stylish (in a low-key way), and spacious, and felt like good value for the money given that it's New Orleans. If you want to be 5 minutes from the madness of Bourbon Street this is probably not the place for you (it's about 15 minutes away on foot), but for the more 'hidden' delights of Marigny this is a great base that still isn't too far from the traditional tourist areas to be convenient for sightseeing and other activities.
