The Marine Layer home was fantastic. It is on a great street in the Garden District with a bus across the street and the streetcar close by to get you into the French District. The neighborhood is great for restaurants and coffee shops but mainly I loved walking all the lovely streets in the Garden District and seeing the beautiful historic homes. We were there in June so the weather was hot and it was nice to have really great AC. We used the kitchen because we were there for a month. it works for simpler things as there is no oven. Really enjoyed our home, it was quiet and peaceful after a long day.
