We met Sarah on the day we arrived, as she checked in on us to see that we were settling in okay. Our communication with her prior to our stay and throughout was absolutely timely, friendly, and easy. And when we say stay, we mean it: we were at Sarah’s place for almost 5 weeks.
Sarah’s place...well, the pictures are true. She’s decorated her shotgun (New Orleans’ architectural term - as my husband is from New Orleans, and he can attest) Creole cottage very tastefully, and we just loved it. This place is a perfect for a couple. Backyard is not so big but it’s very precious. We had coffee in the morning, lunch, and also it became our office some parts of the day. The bed was very comfortable. The bath tub was big, and the shower was pretty powerful. The kitchen checks all the basic needs for the people who love to cook. (Well, you’re in New Orleans, so you don’t have to cook, but for anyone who stays a bit of time, it totally works.)
This place is located a few blocks away form the famous Frenchman Street, which is filled with jazz clubs. Under normal circumstances, it's the most convenient spot for the Jazz fans. But unfortunately covid hit Frenchman pretty hard, and we believe New Orleans’s resilience power.
But due respect to the clubs, Marigny is an incredibly charming neighborhood. Just walking around with the beautiful exotic (for me) foliage and colorful houses was so much fun. The Banksy Rain Girl painting is literally one block away. There are so many great restaurants in Bywater area as well. You turn a corner, you cross a street, and your in the French Quarter. We’re walking lovers, so we often walked to CBD and Magazine Street for some of the best restaurants, breweries, etc etc. Can’t stop writing great things about Sarah’s lovely home. And it’s quiet. You’re just a neighbor in a neighborhood.
Maybe we shouldn’t recommend Sarah’s place so much...we really want to make it a hidden gem. But yes, we highly recommend it. Geaux Saints.
