Kate’s place is a charming and quiet bohemian pad in the heart of the Marigny. The apartment is on the second floor that opens up onto a courtyard. The outdoor courtyard is used as a workspace — an outdoor extension to Kate’s textile studio that’s also in the building. The apartment itself is modest in size even though it has two stories and a kitchen, but it has everything you need. The bedroom is on the second floor of the apartment (third floor overall)- it felt secluded and charmingly shabby.
It’s a convenient location—a few steps to the 24 hour Mardi Gras zone grocery/bar and nearby all the local Marigny and Bywater haunts. It’s about a 20 minute jaunt to the quarter.
We went at the ideal time of year - end of March - and this place was a perfect hub for lazy biking and strolling throughout the hood and feeling like a local.
